Where are they? QB's & RB's are nice, but they can't pass or run if they're put on the sod behind or at the LOS. Are we that well stocked at those positions?

has provided it seems from the notes being shared from Spring practice our OL is improved.

Very large youngmen who seem to forming a 'real OL' rather than the 'gutty little Bruins' we are accustomed to seeing.

Current 1st team

LT Courtland Ford 6' 6" 330 lbs

LG Oluwafunto Akinshilo 6' 5" 335 lbs

C Sam Yoon 6' 5" 300 lbs

RG Julian Armella 6' 6" 325 lbs

RT Garrett DiGiorgio 6' 6" 310 lbs

Also apparently good depth, with more on the way.

The Stanford C picked OU. I’m not sure who else is out there that could really help.

overall depth on both OL and DL is solid. Only thing lacking is pass rushing Edge. Something very similar to last year. Malloe experimented moving Oladejo last year during spring. Don't know if he has anyone close to Oladejo this year. Worst case scenario, Malloe will probably utilize pass rushing specialist out of LBs( J. Woods to Malafu type? Cogshell or JuJu ready for this role?) on passing downs.
