Out for spring and probably fall camp. I've heard he may be gone for good.

Six men standing. Two injuries away from playing the 248lb walkons, DL converts or true freshmen.

Well, at least we'll get to see the Emory and Henry formation again.

Its inevitable. We will be struggling to survive vs UK and Vandy. The coach is openly questioning how we are even going to practice. If we do we lose more players. If we dont .... Its a damned if you do damned if you dont situation.

The more I look at the depth chart, the more I think 4-8 or 3-9 is a given.

Fire Foley for letting Chimp keep digging.

Why didn't we get some JUCO linemen or 1 from that team that shut down. Its still better having a body there despite the talent level. Is it still possible to get some JUCO's for the fall?

We just signed 6 lineman plus we have Johnson and Sharpe who look like the real deal. Plug the frosh in and let them learn on the field. It may be awful this year, but the line will be strong in the future.

Putting frosh out to start in the SEC? That's bad news. It usually takes a whole year of S&C to get acclimated. Have I mentioned that I hate Will f ing Muschamp.

I don't think I could take another 2013. If our line is that thin and inexperienced Harris and Grier will probably end up like Murphy by mid season.

We started 2013 with 10 or 11 OL.

Like I said, it won't be pretty but might pay off in the long run.

:panic:

Err mah gerd, the sky is falling!

Dude, you have got to be trolling by posting that. No one in their right mind would think the team couldn't show improvement this year. Oh, wait. I seem to remember that evidence has been located in a medical journal somewhere by Rogdochar that you are actually in your left mind... My bad. Carry on.

I absolutely believe that we dont have enough OL to produce any offense and that Mr. 80th-105th defense will likely produce another mediocre to terrible defense.

You can declare we're getting better just bc you want it to happen all you want. I want it to happen, too.

The evidence is pretty clear. 6 wins will take some luck with the shiiit Chimp assembled.

It's going to be rough, no doubt but I have the satisfaction of knowing that Crapchamp is no longer running the show. Hell, it looks like Foley is taking orders now thank god.

Look we knew when Mac was hired that 2015 was and most likely is going to be a 6 or 7 win season.....It is what it is and yes it sucks that it will most likely turn out that way. Pissing and moaning won't help much I'm afraid. Do keep in mind though that the almighty Midget,aka Nick Saban went 6-6 or something like that in his first year. Try looking at the bright side which is that we will have a sh!t ton of experienced YOUNG offensive linemen by the end of the year.

Saban didn't get the talent we have when he took over (he did have a little from the 06 class that wasn't developed). Unfortunately if an O line can't hold up you are in trouble regardless. I guess we have to just hope we are very lucky when it comes to injuries on the O line.

They probably had better numbers on the line than we will have this coming year. As far as overall talent goes we don't know what we really have until the new offense is installed.

It is a problem and everyone knew it was going to happen. That said there are things that can be done to get the most out of what you actually have. I expect coach to do so, unlike Champ that really does not know how to be creative.
