If Bolanos and Gauld can come in and claim their respective positions (assuming thats left guard and right tackle), than the only position of concern, IMO, is left tackle. I would hope that at least one current member of the team can play left tackle at an acceptable level and our line will be just fine. So says the optimist in me! with unga gone. i think bolanos should move to LT. left tackle is one of the most valuable positions on the field. you need your qb's blind side protected. |

Nobody is taking iosefa or embermate's spot, so basically the only spots open are rt (belongs to bolanos) lg (likely belongs to gauld) and lt. If one of the many ols we have returning to this team can't hold down the fort at that one position...  |

Is he a better run blocker or pass blocker; i'm sure that will determine where he ends up - he seems like a big lean on you type of a guy. Do you think Gauld will start? |

I can see guald competing for the starting spot. bolanos, trask and embernate are basically locks to start. |

I figured those 3 are penciled in, who is the competition for the other tackle spot, Drahem (sp?) and who else |

I can see guald competing for the starting spot. bolanos, trask and embernate are basically locks to start. The staff likes Gauld a lot. I sort of expect him to have a real good shot at starting. I am not sure Balonos is going to start. I do like him though. |

The thing that's interesting about Embernate being a lock at RG is he came out of spring as a backup behnd Rivera. Also not yet ready to write off Draheim at LT. Fall camp should be interesting.

Its not a big loss. We got a few new lineman and I really think one of these vet olineman can step up (draheim/Farr) Yes...Both Chuck Long recruits. (they aren't new) That's why he called them a veteran.  |

Has anyone heard about Darryl Jackson, the huge O lineman who couldn't get into SMU, who may come here?
