"The OL needs time to gel." Ok. How long does that take?

Speaking of the o-line, are we all certain that Humphrey is going to be the starting center? Does Austin Blythe even have a chance?

I don't think anyone can be certain about anything yet.

My personal "dream" o-line this season would include Humphrey, Trey Smith and Niang. It would mean those three beat out the veterans and our o-line would be set for the next four years. The money saved across the three newcomer spots would pay for Brown's extension.

That line (along with Brown and Thuney), in my opinion, is the nastiest and most physical possible from the personnel on hand. It's not likely to come about until 2022, but it's going to be marvelous!

I think Blythe will compete at Center and RG.

I would not be surprised at all if Andy goes with experience at the center position. The center position is where experience means the most along the Oline.
