WHEELS - i think your right, not sure on Steinback but i was thinking when i read that name over the winter, wow if he's anything like his brother he should be good.....
Regarding Stephens - i think he's in the mix, i just think right now its based on position battles....we had been told that just because he started last year, didnt mean he was the best at that position on the roster....Meaning, he was the starter, but, the kid behind him is waiting his turn, learning systems and toning his body from HS to Div 1 football and if he isnt working as hard as the next guy, he may just get passed.....
I love this philosophy.....it keeps the eye on the prize and playing time is the prize....Kids should know they have to earn that right, they need to work to get better, stronger and that competition will push our Oline to places it hasnt been since Loney and maybe even beyond!!!!!
