Coach Myers OL Availabilty

[Aclone]

Lots of good stuff here.

He seems tickled with how physical the three interior guys are.

Remsburg is day to day…again.

Tyler Maro has been so good at LT they bumped James Neal—whom they really like—inside. Sounds like he has a really bright future.

A bunch of the redshirt freshmen and sophs stepping up into the two deep.

Sounds like Grant Treiber is finally finding his footing.

Do we have the OL depth chart? If so do you mind posting it here?

Who do we know for starters at the moment? I'm going to guess Tyler Miller at LT, Trevor Downing at C. Other than that I do not know.

What was Remsburg's injury last year? Is he a projected stater this year?

The projected starting lineup would be:

LT Tyler Miller
LG Jared Hufford
C Trevor Downing
RG Darrell Simmons
RT Jake Remsburg

Remsburg’s injury last year was recovering from what I seem to recall was a shoulder injury from the season before.

This seems to be something different.

From what I gather from what Coach Myers said, the contenders for the second unit are something like:

LT Tyler Maro
LG James Neal
C Dodge Sauser/Brady Petersen
RG Jim Bonifas
RT Grant Treiber

…if I inferred his comments correctly. And with Remsburg out and Treiber currently with the first unit, apparently Maro is pulling some double dut.

Myers said Tyler Miller at right tackle now. Makes sense with a lefty QB. But I wish some year we could have our OL all set more than 2 weeks before the first game. Still shuffling and experimenting up until game time and then we wonder why we struggle through September. I swear our line is always in flux during Fall camp.

I’m hearing Remsburg being “day-to-day” is a pipe dream. Be lucky if he plays all year.

 

[CoachHines3]

wonder how our juco transfer, Oluwafunto Akinshilo, has been-

i know he's pretty raw still and hasn't played football all that long

Not that it’s not true, but I love these I’m hearing posts. I highly doubt you have any insight into Remaburgs injury.

Feel pretty confident with my source. We’ll see.

 

[Freebird]

Hope so but I'll temper my enthusiasm a bit since the Oline is such a difficult position and it seems we get our hopes up every year only to have them shattered when they get man handled the first game.

Campbell saying "day to day" is like your wife saying "it's fine".

My (internal) reaction to both: "****".

Exactly.

These things truly mean the opposite of their literal meaning.

Cyclone Twitter posted a video of the D-Line and O-Line doing some drills against one another. It was just a couple clips but Bonifas was getting beat badly. He's still young but I'm a little concerned that he is 2nd string. Hopefully it is more of a sign that our D-line is going to be really good.

I remember in the Louisiana game that when Downing got hurt early in the game, Jared posted that they expected him back for the second half of the game. I don't think he played the rest of the season (maybe played the bowl game).

Did you have to look up how to spell that name?

The rule of thumb is the D has the upper hand often throughout camp/early season just because all in all, they just need to get to the ball while the O involves timing etc.

Heck that D lineman may have screwed up their own technique but if the ball was stopped it looks more effective.

Above all else I'm excited to see where these aspects (depth, upcoming talent/ability) really are in the program this season.

Exactly. That pressed either Remsburg or Simmons into duty, and the rest of that season was the best OL (Foster, Schweiger, Newell, Simmons, Remsburg) of the Campbell era.

Yeah, the more vague it is, the worse. That's been a consistent thing for this staff.

Plus, the "day to day" guys seem like IF they play, they are a shell of themselves.

Why can't we have nice things on the OL?

It's just a short clip from one practice at camp. I wouldn't read too much into it.
