Little I think will inevitably land the starting job at RT. I also echo Mikey's concerns with the Center position and injuries. I was high on Fortner during the draft. I think he's a steal as well. However, playing your proven starter from last year at another position is going to set you up for some dangerous waters if an injury does come up. I don't know much about McDermott but I know what we have in Shatley there already.

Would feel more comfortable with Little/Taylor duking it out for RT and the loser settles in over at Guard or something to that effect. Scherff is a major upgrade as well but he's still notorious for getting injuries and missing extensive playing time. Again, we'll see what happens when those pads go on this weekend. That's the real test for the guys playing in the trenches. I am not concerned with Fortner's T-Rex arms at that position neither. Just concerned with how the depth shakes out over a full 17 game stretch.

I think you all miss the central thing here and that's that the new coaching staff aren't high on Bartch.

What's been the knock on him? I know he was a small school prospect. At one point though I swore I heard Lageman singing that kids praises last year late in November or December as far as being the improved guy he had seen from that group.

"What do I know of cultured ways, the gilt, the craft and the lie? I, who was born in a naked land and bred in the open sky. The subtle tongue, the sophist guile, they fail when the broadswords sing; Rush in and die, dogs - I was a man before I was a king."
