    2019 line should be:

    LT: Roberts (if he shows anything this year)
    LG: Watty
    C: Harris
    RG: Bain
    RT: Kirkland

    This could go any number of ways as Watty could slide outside (although better suited probably to be a G) and Bain/Kirkland I could see going either way assuming health for both.

    But your bigger point that the key of building the depth is that it makes any of our young players have to actually earn their playing time by beating out an older player versus playing a kid too early when they either aren't strong enough, their technique isn't developed, etc.

    Wasn't Jaxson Kirkland that kid who looked like he had a touch of downs when we recruited him?

    Major touch
    Confirmed. Jesus.


    as a father of a small child with Down Syndrome, comments like this (just using Swaye's post as an example, not focusing on him) really test me. But I remember that part of the make up of this board is to be an asshole and as un-PC as possible. Carry on.
    I bet your kid is a real Chris Burke.

    Opening Video ft. Kalepo, Enokk, Apu & Bandes: https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/video/the-opening-finals-2018-oldl-day-1-1-on-1s/

    DL should win this drill so I wouldn't overreact, but its still fun
    Kalepo got beat by speed, he's still not quick enough but he's improving.
    Enokk is very quick but need to add weight/get stronger. Not playing for 3 years should help
    Apu is a monster, just throwing people around
    Bandes is really quick and smart about using leverage, he dominates this type of drill

    Ndoma-Ogar :( Holy fuck what a beast.

    Bandes, though... I think we have a chance. He's great too.

    I don't get what would be so amazing about Kalepo in the NFL. Most those guys are grateful for any job and are hanging on by a thread. Only a big free agent gets recruited.
