Q; HANDICAPPED PARKING said:
Looking ahead to the 2010 season, how would you say our projected offensive line compares to the other offensive lines in our conference?
A. The best
B. Among the best
C. Average
D. Below average
Answer: I would say B. I think the line has some top-quality players returning with Butch Lewis, Kris O'Dowd and Tyron Smith. I also think Kevin Graf and Matt Kalil will be impact players along with Khaled Holmes.
My only question, because they have not practiced yet, is what the coaching influence will be. I was not shy about being a big Pat Ruel fan and now that he is gone, what kind of coaching will they be getting? We won't really know until spring practice.
Well said. Pat Ruel was an outstanding coach, to say the least, and he proved it for several years.
