Offensive Line, Take One

[Chin Diesel]

I think the worst part about that game (aside from the fact that we annihilated Navy in 2002) was the first play of the game. Pass for a TD and it basically felt like the game was over. Puked in my mouth.

Game was sickening. Only thing that made the game tolerable was I broke my arm the night prior and I watched the game high as a kite on a combo of vicatin or tylox and Capt Morgan.

"Which brings us to Cruz's great American Dream. Before a snap, he's dying for Knappe to yell out something in Danish, or him in Spanish, or Mateas in French or Samra or Levy in their native Jersey to bluff opponents.

"I'm waiting to confuse defenses," Cruz said, laughing. "We might come up with some dummy calls.""

Of all the linemen last year, Cruz showed the most flashes of above average play. Hope he can stay healthy and continue his improvement.

The line still worries me greatly.

Against a team that could barley throw a forward pass.

Worst part about that game was I flew home from Germany specifically to watch it.

There was kind of a funny quote from Gus: There were a few months when it was, 'Am I done with school? Will the team want me back? What's going to happen to me in the future? Am I going to grow old?' You don't want that stuff in your head."

Sorry, dude, one way or the other, you're definitely gonna get old like the rest of us.

Sounds like he was doubting if he was going to get the chance to grow old. Can't be a good feeling at age 21.

When you're having heart issues, you might question whether you will get the chance to grow old

While I expect growing pains, I like what I am hearing about they young pups - Levy, Knappe, Rugg, and even the true frosh Crozier and Rutherford (and Hashemi as a blocking TE).

Can anyone determine what the heck happened to Schafenacker. I've not even heard his name mentioned.
