This line must gel quickly, and play with a purpose and sense of urgency every time they take the field. Grimes said it best, "Tip of the Spear."

I think it's good that Farris starts as Center, because that's where he played at the end of the season. Miller can be the utility linemen, should Farris get hurt. Grimes has shown in the past he knows how to get results, and I trust his judgment. Wang just can't stay healthy, so no telling what contributions he may be able to make this final season. It's nice to see Grimes holding players accountable for their performance, just like Foster and Wiles have done with the D-line. Seniority and experience won't cut it anymore. Now it's all contingent on the players' dedication, effort, and performance.

Nice to see this level of competition and coaching. Imagine what some of the lines in the recent past would have been like if they knew they would be getting beat out by freshmen and sophomores.

I saw today that Marcus Davis got waived from the Giants.

Where are all the top o-line recruits that we so disparately need? I don't think we are in the running for any top o-line guys

Our motto bringing spirit true, that we may ever serve you

Top OL recruits are sparse in the mid-Atlantic this year.

Starters should be McLaughlin-Shuman-Farris-Benedict-Gibson.

Five star get after it 100 percent Juice Key-Playing. MAN

In that case, do you see Miller being a Utility Lineman (a la Michael Via)?

I think he'd be more of a utility G/C, but I don't think he'd be as good as Via at tackle.
