Offensive Line -- What to expect for next year?

I think the OL talent of guys coming in could offset experience losses to some degree. Some of the guys you had on the OL last year looked like hefty bags filled with wet shit. Getting higher level athletes like a McGary or Adams on the field can offset the loss of an experienced beached orca like Atoe to a certain extent.

I think an equally big issue for UW - Coleman & Washington are probably in the bottom third of starting pair of Rbs in the pac12. Those two need to really step it up.

The scary part is that the OL played better once Atoe moved to RT and Coleman Shelton got benched. Eldenkamp and Kirkland couldn't even beat out Shelton.

Atoe looked awful in every game I saw him. Body and athleticism befitting of a guard, but he's 6'7" and 50 or 60 #s overweight. That's the worst combination for a CFB OL.

In my opinion, OL play is largely about your Left Tackle. If you can button down LT with the right athlete, the rest of the OL should fall in line, especially the G-C-G combination. If the LT is dreck, then that's a major problem. Adams and McGary look like next-level LT prospects to me, if either can hold down that spot I think the OL play will be at least 'okay'.

I didn't read a single post in this thread but I'd bet my house someone reference 2017 being special. This is why I love Doog hope.

Halfbrains bitch about the present while saying how good things will be two years out.

Doogs don't bitch about the present while saying how good things will be two years out.

You're the same, except for Damone, he's the only one that "gets it."

Like I said, he "gets it."

It was on a day much like today. He just closed the deal on an eco-friendly shitter to some fine people at Lowe's when it suddenly hit him; Two years from now won't be special.

He moved on.

 
I'm tired of the OL excuses. I'm tired of the hyping that I read of a position that consistently under performs. I have quit factoring them in and believe if we win, we do so despite they lodestone they are for the offense.
 
I heard they are all planing on staying over the entire summer, will be working out together harder than ever before and will be ready to rumble when next year starts...

In all seriousness the OL was not really even in the top 5 of problems for the offense last year

1) A QB with the arm strength and throwing motion of a drunk Asian sorority girl
2) a QB with decision making skills that makes Jack Lockner look like a Rhodes scholar
3) A WR core where the best WR plays CB, the second best is known for being small, running sideways for 2 yards and dropping easy passes, and the third best WR for being big, slow, and being a 5 star player who never played up to the hype
4) fucking football humping retard play calling from our learn on the job offensive coordinator
5) absolutely no identity for the offensive scheme
6) a RB core made up of a double amputee, a RB who looks the part but finds the hole as easy as grand pa Sankey would, and a RB that would make Ben ossai seem fast.
7) what's a TE?

And somewhere around 8th, after the problems with QB, RB, WR, TE, and play calling I would put problems with the OL as reasons why we sucked on offense last year.
