Well, guess all we can do is next man up. That's likely Bailey Sharp or moving someone else to tackle like Irvin or Hamm. 

There's also the possibility these 3 linemen coming in are just incredible (Jones, Osborne, Bell)...... maybe? I'm grasping at air here, I know... 

Here's our plan of success: "NO ONE GET HURT!!!!!!"

Why do we recruit so many offensive linemen with medical problems? 

He showed promise when healthy so he was worth taking the chance. What you can't do though, is whiff on the other tackle you take in the same class (Ashley in 17). And you definitely can't follow that up with a class with only one OT (Stutts in 18). And you most certainly can't, under any circumstances, follow that up with ANOTHER class with only one OT (Osborne in 19). Because then you would be faced with a really serious depth and talent problem at a critical position...

Thank goodness our coaches wouldn't let that happen.

I  went to the 2014 3a state championship game between Madison Academy and Dale County. I went to support Dale County since they were in the same area as my Slocomb Redtops. I  was also eager to see Sr. Kerryon Johnson  and a kid I had heard very little about...Jr. Malik Miller. But once we got into the stadium the group of people from Dale County  that we sat close to were all talking about a  10th grade lineman named Austin Troxell. Ever since that day I have been a huge fan of this kid. I  was extremely happy when we landed him. 

But...I don't know if there's any validity to the idea of if a kid grows too fast there can be problems with lower extremity injuries. I've often wonder that about him since he first got hurt in HS. 

Thoughts?

WAR EAGLE!!!

Getting stronger defeats what purpose?

What a broken record topic.

In before someone tags Mikey again.

Pssst... guys... I think Bird and Mikey might of had a disagreement about depth

Brodarius Hamm was recruited as a OT/OG prospect...

 Kameron Stutts is an OT...

Daggum, I think he was listed as an OT out of high school?

Hamm is not an OT.  He's barely an OG.

Maybe we can plug and play our recent DT that's never played OL. That should work out nicely.

Well, that's how we got our best OL. (We have 3 years to wait on him to develop, right?)

Putting aside that they're both guards, how many reps do they have between them?

Um, because those are the guys who will sign with Auburn?

Waiting for 2020, because CGM has assured us that he's going to sign a huge, monumentally outstanding OL class.

Waiting.

Troxell, a sophomore, was projected to be the top backup behind starter Jack Driscoll at right tackle and the first man off the bench potentially at both tackle spots. 

 

Guys, it's not a problem. Right, @Mikey?

I hate it for Troxell. The next guy will step up. That's what happens when a team has adequate depth and we do have adequate depth.

I already made a complete list for you when you asked for it some time ago. Go back and read that list.
