Bruins ahead of schedule with line play
Although the Bruins' defense got the best of the offensive line unit of Jeff Baca, Stanley Hasiak, Kai Maiava, Xavier Su'a-Filo and Eddie Williams during the Saturday morning practice, coach Rick Neuheisel said he's happy with the progress of his new-look line.
"We're ahead of where we were last year," Neuheisel said. "They're holding the point at the line of scrimmage, which is what we want to see."
One reporter asked if the Bruins were "considerably" ahead of where they were at this point last summer, to which Neuheisel responded, "Considerably with a small 'c'. Let's just say I'm pleased. I had hoped (freshmen Hasiak and Su'a-Filo would develop this way)."
Whether the offensive line will continue to take steps forward in the afternoon practice remains to be seen.
Thanks for the updates, Erik. Nice way to come out of the gates on your first four blog posts. I am sure that you will be complimented by other posters with that coverage of today's practice.
Sounds like good news on the O-Line and on D. Looking forward to hearing about the afternoon session.
Can you please try to put together a list of the first and second team o-line during the afternoon? I for one would love to hear what is shaping up on the 2-deep after the first week of camp.
Thanks again for the solid coverage on the AM session.

i think i like this erik boal, can we keep him?
reggie williams???
umm i believe his name is eddie
yes reggie. his name's not eddie, it's reggie. eddie williams is one of our defensive lineman. reggie williams is this 330 lb offensive line behemoth from mt.sac. he's a JC transfer. actually so is eddie. that's why our team is gonna be so good in the trenches, we have two 330lb lineman JC transfers from mt.sac! That's a lot of beef on the lines!
