Here's my starting 5 OL from left to right:
Ivey LT, TJ Moore LG, Heggie C, Fred Johnson RG, J. Taylor RT

The Gators gave up 37 sacks to rank 123rd out of 129 FBS teams in 2017. I hope between competent S&C and a real OL coach to teach them technique and motivate them we will rank much better.

I have great trouble imagining Big Fred running Mullinz sideways offense.

Love the guy. He works hard and gets everything he can out of his talent but he is SLOW.

Would you rather have Tyler Jordan?
Or McCoy? I don't know. I just know Big Fred physically cant make the bread and butter plays in Mullinz offense, like Ozzy and Stretch.

I can't wait to see what Delance, Forsythe and Banks can do. Not to mention some people that came alive last year that we had written off like Harkless and Buchanan.

I am just excited to finally have a bona fide OL coach.

I think Forsythe has the potential to be a dominant guard.

He's not a guard he's a tackle. He did play at tackle last fall.

I don’t remember him Being recruited at tackle. I remember him being pursued as a top-tier guard. Did he have good feet at T last year? I don’t remember that being a strong point of his.

Or maybe I’m just miss remembering.That’s a high possibility.

He was recruited at tackle at 6'7", 300. He's now 330. He played right tackle for the last two games. I thought he acquitted himself well but then I was not watching his feet :).

I'd take McCoy at guard over fred any day. I'll be curious to see if gourage can crack the rotation.

I am not counting on him this year. He needs to bulk up by 20 pounds and lose the baby fat and get stronger. Now he did enroll summer A so maybe he can help by mid year.

I loved me some Forsythe but you have to use timed photography to tell if he is moving.

I’ve always thought of him more as a mauler. To me he would be the perfect temperament at guard in a Mullen offense. But he may be too tall.
