Oh boy, only a couple of weeks.

Mason Cole is taking the spot for now, too, which almost guarantees he won't win the center role. Ugh.

I’d rather Shipley or Lamont stay at center than Mason. Don’t need anymore bad snaps.

Don't worry. Keim is here for at least two more years after this one.

I don't want to destroy Mason Cole's progress by moving him to guard, putting him on the bench, bouncing him around, etc.

This is why this team's OL has been so bad. We don't give them any time to sit at their actual positions and build any chemistry.

No, I’m saying I would just keep Cole at G, preferably LG, & let him stay there. Despite being drafted later, I like Lamont’s ability at C more than I do Cole. However, Cole should stay at the interior.

Guard responsibilities are not much different than Center. I dont think it impacts anything and if Cole was going to be behind AQ, id rather him at guard getting experience than sitting on the bench learning more about the job he doesnt have.

He's just not going to beat out Pugh right now on account of what we spent on the guy.

I'm still not sure why you're so sold on Gaillard, he's a 6th round pick. If he proves to be solid depth and not cut after camp, it will be a win. I know he stoned Quinnen Williams in a game, but that seems to be it.

Not to mention, Cole's been bounced around positions going back to college. Young linemen don't get enough reps as it is. I don't want last year to be a completely lost year at the draft, as I've mentioned in other threads.

He anchored arguably the best OLine for Georgia last season & was fairly consistent in the run & pass game for his time there.

Holding his own against Quinnen Williams is a bigger deal than you think it is.

If he was that great, he would have gone before the 6th round.
