OLine Training Camp

[theaardvark]

Here are the current rostered Oline Rookies and where they played in college:

57 DOOLEY, Ben      6'5   320   24   Boise State    LG
64 ELSBURY, Tyler   6'6   333   24   Iowa   Played OC/all positions
0 LINDSAY, Zovon   6'4   300   25   Coastal Carolina  RT
0 MORE, Joseph      6'5   311   26   Arkansas  RT
0 PARES, Sebastian   6'6   310   24   Eastern Illinois RG
58 PONCIUS, Hunter   6'8   318   24   North Dakota State OT OG
0 WILLIAMS, Bucky   6'3   300   25   Appalachian Stat  OC

So, it looks like there is one true OC (Williams) and one that has played OC (Elsbury), so there might be something to KMan's release and potential for 2 IMP Oline

Some really good size there throughout, have to see what they feet and hands are like

Have to consider The Bubble Butt as well.

Also, add Micah Mazzucca to the list (OG/RT - 6'5". 325#, 25YO - Nebraska/Florida/Baylor).  In 2022, he started 10 of 11 games at guard and was graded out as the second-best guard in the Big 12 according to Pro Football Focus (PFF). His run-blocking grade from PFF was the best in the Big 12 and among the top 15 in the nation.

Don't see him on the Bomber roster, is he a new signing?

Yes.

Still have to wonder if we could entice Bob Wylie to TC as a guest coach.  With the right incentives (he likes nice things) I'm sure he could be influenced to come north for a month. 

Do quest coaches expenses come out of the front office SMS, or can they be Magic Marketing Money?  I'm sure "Set, HUT" can be a marketing campaign.

Ooooh, I didn't know we were bringing 2 IMP C's to TC!  This is very good news for my IMP C theory.  I guess Mafia wants to see if either guy can beat out Eli for the spot.

A 6'6 333 C... Now that I'd LOVE to work out.

These guys got beasts written all over them

[Sir Blue and Gold]

Will we be having a real training camp this year or will all our veterans be receiving helmets on day one and these guys are for future evaluation only?

We need leaders who can lead by being better than the man across from them this year. Not leaders who get washed out every play and go months without a tackle. The latter is an example of a coach in pads and the end result will be the same as last year if we take the same approach.

You would hope someone here could be about as athletic as some of the dinosaurs on our offensive line but will they be given an actual chance? And if someone is, are we committed enough to tell someone like Stanley no?

If not, we're in for 2025 2.0. We talked tough at the start of the off season but our actions have largely signalled the opposite of late.
