A Look at the 2007 O-Line

[E.T.]

I had to change the subject for myself  8-)

LEGEND:

SENIOR

JUNIOR

OT

Dile                        Carnes                   Ide

OG

Griffin                    Hermann                Boger

OC

Capogna                 McCaskill             Warren

OG

Huners                     Schmidt

OT

Walker                    Tolley                   Sims

We will be seeing pretty much this group in the bowl game.

Granted, much very well could change during the Spring and Summer of 2007.

McCaskill and Warren gives us great depth at Center and allows Griffin and Schmidt to concentrate on the Guard position. Schmidt also started at Tackle at WVU. And would not suprise me if Tolley took over the RT position from Walker and Walker moved to RG.

I certainly hope one of the other centers steps in and takes command of that position.  I just haven't seen much out of Capogna.  Still too small.

[ksquire]

I'd like to see the whole left side and center step up. This needs to be our #1 priority this recruiting season.

[BowlBoundBulls]

Boger quit the team during fall practice.   Warren I think they plan to play at  guard.  As far as Ide,  I would love it if he passed by Carnes to be the backup Left Tackle.

[Guest JulmisteForPrez]

Yeah, Boger is long gone.  What about McCaskill?  Did he qualify, or was he one of the 90 or so academic casualties we had?  I can't remember.

[Guest AstroBull]

He was but got his scores this semester and is enrolling in January

[bulls96go]

solid but need some studs to come in for depth and domination!

Thanx for the info about Boger, didn't notice.

Word around the campfire is that Ide has put on weight for his 6' 6" frame, he was a HS TE so he may need 1 more year of learning. And hopefully our Tackles stay healthy.

We were banged up a lot this season and the guys did well. I feel that our Left side is our strongest with Dile and Griffin.

[Guest JulmisteForPrez]

I can't figure Griffin out.

I saw him play when he was a senior at Armwood.  He looked very good, plenty mobile enough, and looked good in a uniform.  I thought it was a good pickup for the Bulls.

Then comes this year, the first time I've really seen him since then, and he just looks slow and sloppy.  I remember watching the game against McNeese and saying, "Who the heck is #77?!?!"  He looked REALLY overmatched against McNeese State.  McNeese State!!

From the little I saw Griffin this year, Huners looked MUCH better.  I hope we come out of Spring practice with a solid group of five who are firmly entrenched as the top O-line.

...

From the little I saw Griffin this year, ...

I will try to eatch the McNeese St game again 2day or 2morrow. Really haven't viewed/studied O-Line much.

He broke his foot against UCF. Did not play the next 6 games. Got some playing time against 'cuse, 'ville & WVU. Should be close to 100% for the Bowl. 

...I hope we come out of Spring practice with a solid group of five who are firmly entrenched as the top O-line.

If healthy, I feel that we can in 2007 with this group. Really feel that we have a great coach for this position. Each year it seems we have serious question marks for this group, but they do well and are far from horrible.

Horrible = RB & Kicking
