"isn't consistently healthy enough"

 

why? because they're not pushing him to come back early from an ACL in meaningless training camps? The guy is a 4 year vet he doesn't even need this stuff.

 

Joeckel looked good at guard during the scrimmage, we'll see how it works out when the regular season roles around but he has every chance to redeem his career at the position.

 

Linder by all accounts has looked great at center. We already know he's our best interior lineman; if he can snap the ball and is smart enough to know the offense (which he is) then he can be a good center.

 

Cann was good as a rookie, he could be even better this year. Parnell may very well be average but that's all you need from the RT spot. We know from last year that he's not a dumpster fire and for proof of that just see what happened when Young had to start against Houston...the wheels fell off.

 

I just don't share the same concerns of the OL as other people, particularly the media that is hyping it up as a problem. In 31 days Beachum will have been almost 11 months removed from the ACL injury, and we know he was one of the best pass blocking tackles in football before that. I really think Joeckel is going to salvage his career at LG. And I also believe in Linder at center. I think our line will be a lot better than people are expecting barring injury.
