One thing people are not talking about much with this team is the improved OL.  While this isn’t the best OL it is far better than what has been trotted out there in the past 5-7 years.  I don’t think there is a starting NFL player on the OL but there is possibly one or two backups on that line.

I don't know - several may be able to start with the Packers this week....

Heywood, Mandell, and Cubberly are all redshirt sophomores.  They still have some development left.

It seems like wherever they put him in the OL, PJ Wilkins has struggled. They may have figured a few things out in the absence of Kawecki at C; Stylz Blackmon moved there Saturday & seemed to be just fine while Barrett Nelson, a veteran who has been in the program a long time but has played very little, also held his own. This line has a long way to go AFA commanding the line of scrimmage the way you'd like, but I agree they're heading in the right direction. It would really help the overall depth if/when Kawecki returns.
