Swapping Cox and Burton sure looked like the right move

Jager will be good. Hard to criticize a soph. at the center position. I'm glad Cox was moved back for now.

Looked dominant yesterday even without Horsey who’s our best lineman imo. Cox’s experience and being able to call things at C is huge, also allows Burton to play faster at G. Huge improvement, will get even better imo.
 
Will be interesting when horsey comes back and takes the LG spot. Imo ray clearly outplayed Jager to this point, but I still expect Jager to stay at RG

Good problem to have when Horsey returns, we have basically 7 starter level O linemen with Ray & Ford subbing in off the bench
 
Burton moves well for a big man. Saw him get to a defender very quickly on one of Davis' runs and he made an aggressive key block on that play. Saw Flax level a defender on one play, took him all the way down on his back. And pretty neat seeing E Cox pulling and Ray pushing Davis in the endzone on the sideline. Just a lot of good stuff from the OL that can't even be mentioned here. It will be interesting to see Saturday if they will play with that kind of intensity two weeks in a row against top competion.

The Big Blue Wall has now demonstrated what they are capable of. They left nothing to doubt. Completely dominated an elite SEC D-Line.
 
Getting depth now which is crucial because it allows people to rotate in and out to keep everyone fresh. It looks like the oline has finally learned to mesh together. Lots of new moving parts and they had never played together. It was always a talented line. Getting Horaey back is HUGE. Big guy will basicly be fresh and new to play essentially a 7 game season. Now fix the drops and Learys erratic throws and we will be cooking with grease. All of the little problems are fixable. Talent can fix problems. And the running game will only help Leary. He just has to calm down and let it fly. Defenses have to put people in the box to contain Davis, that will open up the 3 amigos with some deep plays.
