aufan57 922 Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Phillip Marshall @PMARSHONAU 1h First-team OL in Saturday scrimmage: LT Shon Coleman, LG Alex Kozan, C Reese Dismukes, RG Avery Young, RT Pat Miller. Have a strong suspicion, this will be the starting OL against Arkansas. Need to have your best 5 linemen on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lca408 366 Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 To be honest, Slade has been a touch inconsistent on the field in his 3 years. The first two years were understandable but he had troubles last year as well. It's not completely surprising but I'd bet that it's just an experiment for now, and maybe a motivational factor for the coaches to use to get him to amp up his performance. At any rate, that's a good looking O-line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altima 200 Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Ouch to Slade huh? Shon, A, and Pat are all three better... May the best man win. It's called competition. Slade's gonna have to up his game, or he's the odd man out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slade's gonna have to up his game, or he's the odd man out. Don't get me wrong...I like it... I want the hungriest, fastest, best burst type guys out there. Plus is Millers says he likes playing next to Avery... That is what you want... The line playing together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browning4AU 405 Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 It wouldn't be hard to imagine this being the starting O line come August. Or it could be as simple as a depth experiment. If one of the Guards goes down, maybe move AY inside and bring in the #2 OT? Either way, AU has an awesome looking O line even though GR left early.

gilstein21 1 Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 that's how I was looking at it Browning, but if Young picks up the guard position and this puts the best 5 combo on the field, then I'm all for it. Slade played much better last year, and he looks stronger in recent pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AU64 10,122 Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 I know there is prestige being the starter....but any combination of the top 6 or 7 candidates out there is going to be tough for any defense to handle IMO and we saw last season that there are occasions when one of the OLs lines up in the backfield as a lead blocker.

AUbritt 611 Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Interview with Miller is good. (Thanks for the vids, RIR!) One reporter asked whether they moved Miller to RT because they like to run more to the left (and Shon is the more powerful run-blocker). Miller sort of said 'yes', but then said, "I'm a power guy, too." Then he said all the OL were power guys. I myself was wondering why not move Shon to RT if Miller is the better pass blocker -- but what do I know? Finally, I thought it was great to see that Miller almost couldn't keep from smiling about the offense. He knows they are going to be GOOD this year. He then said, "We gotta keep getting better, though." Still. We're good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
