Funny. I remember a debate with someone (no clue who) over the winter who felt that we had so many offensive linemen that we should move some to defense. So this made me chuckle...:biggrin:Quote:

The coaches end, I just wouldn't know about. Carter, because he seemed to want to play tight end, and on his handful of catches last year, looked like he could be a good one. After all, when he first signed I thought he was destined to be a tackle, and his performance last Fall was a pleasant surprise.Quote:

As for your question...can we be sure that isn't Kyle Lichtenberg? I know his roster number says 69, but what number did his dad wear as a Cyclone? My other guess would be Brayden Burris, since he's next to Hayworth Hicks, but I see that he's #79. And Hulbert is #67...
#60 sure does look like Bykowski: really tall and lean for a OL. I think if he is/or does move to tackle he could really be a good one in the spread O with all the pass blocking. Can't imagine there would be a more athletic OL on the team, except for Lamaak.
Pretty sure that Scott Haughton is the most athletic OL on the team...by leaps and bounds.Quote:

Just curious on your insight.
yepp. which is truly frightening considering the size of the guy. for someone of his size, his athleticism makes for a scary combinationQuote:

My first impression of Haughton was that he was a better run/jump/strength guy right off the bat, though he reported last summer...carrying more than a few extra pounds around. Of course, even somewhere in the vicinity of 360 last Fall, you saw some of that burst late in the season when he ran down a defender along the sideline after an interception. Man, can that guy move.
Just my opinion, of course. But I was always amazed at what Keith Sims could do (knew him, a little), and Haughton reminds me a little of Sims. More powerful, though, I think. But that was a long time ago.
haha. You have a good memory.Quote:

That would make sense except for the jersey #Quote:
