Who would be your choices from a list that may include true freshmen, redshirt frosh, transfers, etc, etc, etc,

AND....who do you see as our starting offensive line vs LSU?

Chad Rose

BIG DAWG · July 11, 2005

I agree, I think it has to be Chad Rose.

This kid was well touted out of HS.

The good thing is, not only do I think that he NEEDS to step up, I think he CAN be the man we are looking for to fill in Brewster's shoes.

If Foster gains 20 pounds, he could be a stud.

Chad Rose will be the man. Lineberry and Brown are good, but Rose will be a stud. Still a little worried about left tackle. Foster is a very good technical blocker, but at 268? I see Jason May getting that spot if all works out. d ont rule out true freshman Adjani Banks. He is 6-3 / 325lbs. I could see him playing significant time this season. If I was to guess at it, I would say...

LT- Jason May (6-4/ 295lbs)

LG-Adjani Banks (6-3/ 325lbs)

C- Chad Rose (6-3/ 285lbs)

RG-Dylan Lineberry (6-3/ 330lbs)

RT- Jeremy Brown (6-5/ 300lbs)

Could be the biggest, most talented offensive line we have had in some time. (yes, I miss Zuniga, Turney and Bense too) I think we are okay here.

GMG!!!

Don't forget, Zuniga played his freshman year. If Adjani is good, big, and nasty, I say play lad.

Going totally on gut feeling and what I saw this spring, I'd agree with you on that lineup.

One thing I like on yalls projected o-lines is the size. Other than Rose, which isnt as big a factor, all are around 300+ lbs. Another thing is the height of these guys, gone are the days of our starters being only 6'0 or 6'1. Somebody needs to tell me more about this Banks kid. All I know is that hes a frosh. and looks to be pretty big.

GrayEagle · July 11, 2005

You guys have guts, alright. No question that Banks has the size to play right away but remember, he only played one year of high school ball. He's got a lot to learn and less than 30 days to do it.

I agree that Foster should wear down early if he comes in at 268 or less. But, if he should begin fall drills at about the same weight as Rose (285) we could have a solid line. If he (Foster) should falter, we might find that Elmore might be an adequate replacement.

I do think that Banks makes the second team (for what that's worth) and will be groomed early for a starting job, due to his size. I hope that you are right and that he's the real deal.

Always good to read speculation that another NT offensive lineman (Chad Rose) could possibly be as good as our Outland Trophy Award nominee, one Mr. Dylan Lineberry.

I think depth will obviously be our main concern this Fall; anyone know if we have potential offensive line depth coming in the form of transfers, JUCO's, etc, ?

No matter what Foster weights, he was obviously good enough to start last year. There were plenty of much bigger players that didn't beat him out last year and I doubt any will this year.

greensteve · July 12, 2005

i thought that Rose was only 5'11''

risinggreen · July 12, 2005

No. You're probably thinking of the true freshman lineman from Paris that goes by the name of Brian Glass. Chad Rose definitely appears to be 6'2" or 6'3".
