I would either go:

LT: Rankin
LG: Jenkins
C: Williams
RG: Calhoun
RT: Reese

At least we would be strong on the left side.

Or

LT: rankin
Lg: Calhoun
C: Williams
RG: Reese
RT: Jenkins

Jenkins at center is a waste. This isn't high school.

One thing the announcers said yesterday is our scheme requires the center to make a lot of calls & Jenkins excels at that. The real answer to OL improvement is we simply haven't recruited enough of them. I don't question Dan much because it's obvious he knows what he's doing. But I just don't understand our OL recruiting at all.

Jenkins at center is a damn waste. Im not an O-line coach but you don't have to be to see that. I'm not a mechanic either but I know when my truck is 17ed up.

Doesn't mean you know what the problem is.

In 2014 everybody was saying the same thing after USM, give them a game or two to start to gel, geez.

You're right. Im just a random internet poster like you. I've gone on record giving them a few games to gel but my opinion is Hev overvalues the center position. As evidenced by practicing Martinas Rankin at center and he's the best Left Tackle on the team. Nobody was saying that after USM in 2014. Somebody in your crowd maybe. I'm a HEV hater. I think he's a decent O-line coach but not great. He's a liability in recruiting so I want him gone. That's never going to change for me. Don't give me that But he recruited Dak. He didn't have a damn clue what he would be. He seen a decent QB prospect and he told Mullen about it.

Agree! This problem started back in the spring when Hev worked Rankin at center instead of getting someone else ready.

Everybody was saying that after USM, Dak had terrible rushing numbers and Jrobs numbers were basically identical to Aries.
