Hevesy is going to put the best 5 OL on the line and the best 5 right now are Forsythe, J Taylor, Heggie, Jordan and Ivey. That's a very, very decent line, probably the best we've had in years. The only question is who's going to play center. J. Taylor was asked to train at center in the offseason. It's not for nothing that he was asked to do that.
ltraz, watch the two games that Forsythe started at right tackle last year. He held his own against FSU's excellent DEs, yes even Sweat!
I only saw one play where he let his guy go prematurely. I also saw a couple where his assignment was long gone (like the play was supposed to come to his side but the RB took the cutback lane) and he had nobody to block and was hesitant what to do.You got me curious so I went and watched some of that FSU game. Forsythe wasn't that bad for a younger guy. His biggest problem that game was not staying on his guy on some running plays. Quite a few times he let his guy get loose from him when he still had good position letting them make the tackle. That is something the coaching staff should be able to correct however. His footwork against DEs trying to run around him looked to be better than Taylor who got burned by speed rushers quite a bit.
No doubt that Hevesy is going to put a lineup like that out there. If Taylor was to go to Center, OMG. I could see that line with some huge improvement. Factor in they may get some decent coaching should bode well for the stable of backs that we have.
