Besides QB the other area which really needs locking down is obviously OLine. Lots of new faces, and on paper more talent. But were looking at probably four new faces on the line meaning none of these guys have taken a live snap lined up the lineman next to him. Need a leader to emerge on the line and to get that thing gelling.

Likely 3 new faces on the line. I think our two guards are expected to be the same.

I think we see maybe one or two for the tackle spots. You may be right though, but I’m not sure about 4 because majority of the new guys on the O-line are a lot younger, and only 3 players have had significant snaps at the FBS level from most is Haynes, Lundt, and Nyadu. I know for a fact the only 2 positions that weren’t split in terms of rotating for 1s during spring ball were the guards and center. This year we can’t have a roulette on the O-line like we did at center last season.

Matter of fact can’t have a roulette going into the 2nd week of practice for majority of our positions because the team needs to find their identity, I think those that were starters last season and still were starters during spring ball, we should anticipate seeing them to start during week 0 against Utah. Exit 4 as a really good prediction on the depth chart this upcoming season.

Guidone at Center, Haynes and Nyadu at Guard.

anybody's guess at Tackle but Senn seems to be the favorite at LT. Fortin at RT?

 

[Exit 4]

FWIW - I'm not so sure what I have will be the starting 5 for Utah St, I just thought it might be how they start camp. I think Shor has a good chance of cracking this starting 5 early. I also think it might take a few games to find right 5 as well.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Guidone at Center, Haynes and Nyadu at Guard.

I like Fortin at G better than T.

Not convinced Nyadu is starting.

I think Haynes, Guidone and Fortin are closest to be sure things but if anyone jumps them that is good news since it means competition was strong and someone else won out.

I like Shor competing for the tackle spot, but part of me also thinks he will be a RS just because he is coming in as a freshmen and still needs time to develop.

Senn - was moved from guard to tackle
Nyadu - Started last 8 games
Guidone - upgrade over S.Walker
Haynes - started last two season
Fortin/Lundt - Significant snaps but hurt

Fortin they prolly will keep him at center. They could’ve easily put Fortin at G but from watching spring ball it seems like center/tackle is where he was at the most so I think they have who they want at G.

Also have to take in mind that Mora could’ve asked any of those starting 4 to leave when he came but only one that left was S.Walker, so I think Mora sees something in those guys we don’t see since he had a firsthand look at them during the season. Plus Haynes and Nyadu are 2 of the 6 left from their class and were rated high coming out of their class at O-line.

 

[RedStickHusky]

Regardless of who threw the ball, that was a fine catch against very tight coverage.

Looked like Kashif Moore.

 

[DoctorWho85]

My thought is Roberson gets the nod because he is the QB Charlton and Mora want to run on offense. True dual threat. Millen will have to go absolutely wild with his arm to beat out the legs of Roberson, but I'm going to say he's going to be a very good back up if Roberson gets hurt. Turner will redshirt and Tyler will continue to rehab.

I think Haynes, Guidone and Fortin are closest to be sure things but if anyone jumps them that is good news since it means competition was strong and someone else won out.

Curious to know why you aren’t convinced Nyadu is starting? Fortin and S.Walker switched around at center at most and Nyadu took the reigns over Dylan.N, not because of injury. Fortin is good, but S.Walker starting over him Fresno was concerning even though I believe the staff should’ve let Fortin develop throughout the season because he played better than Walker in my eyes

 

[Palatine]

Guidone at C and Haynes at OG are very likely.

I think Barbosa, who is older, more experienced and bigger than most of our OL has a chance to break into the starting group.

 

[History Geek]

LT Senn
LG Nyadu
C Guidone
RG Haynes
RT Fortin

I think Lundt was over his head last year and once trams figured that out I sometimes got ugly. Illybe see how he is eith a yesr of development. I think Barbosa will be part of the guard rotation. Im curious about Shor.

 

[metsfan2323]

Not convinced Nyadu is starting.

Wasn't there some publication (PFF maybe?) that loved Nyadu's performance last season. I seem to remember someone posting that.

I thought Walker was maybe the worst offensive lineman I've ever seen play college football. I thought the only reason he ever took snaps over Fortin was games when Fortin was hurt and couldn't play.

I believe it was Bill Connelly in his preview of the independent teams this year for ESPN+

Same sentiment about Walker, but you are right.

Believe Fortin was hurt early on. At the open practice his leg was wrapped and he was without pads.Think he was battling injury throughout the year.

Which is main reason I am not convinced Fortin starts. Availability, reliability and dependability are most important abilities for an athlete. If you can't stay healthy it's tough to get on the OLine rotation.
I thi k a healthy Fortin starts, but if he gets dinged up at all, coaches have to look for a consistently healthy alternative.
