    I think in the spring this is fine, but the OL is hard enough to master at one position, let alone multiple ones,

    By the fall, I would prefer to have 10 reliable linemen, 2 deep at each of the five positions.

    Seems we've relied on "flexibility" in place of real depth for more than a decade.

    It’s pretty hard to build depth in 1-1/2 recruiting classes. He’s doing what he has to under the circumstances

    Have we ever had a spring practice that we didn’t try to build depth on the offensive line and cross train players?

    we just don't have enough bodies. Does anybody know how many scholarships do we have to go portal shopping?
