+1, thanks for the links.
I only watched the Filiaga vid because I thought you clickbaited me into watching it by saying "surprise, surprise" but that's all his response was. Wa Waaaa. Bummer.
Key takeaway from that vid was that he and Jon Teske are best buds. Thought that was interesting.
I'm not the click baiter type.
But I like how Chuck Filiaga went about the interview. Big man, big personality.
Skypanther is It's Always Marcia?
Don't worry about it. Most posters with more than one username eventually out themselves.
Is there any talk about Chuck playing LT? I like JBB, he’s a great run blocker but seems to be a revolving door when it comes to pass blocking
Yes.
Yes, what??? Yes, he's playing some LT? Or yes, JBB is a revolving door in pass pro? Or yes that there is only talk of Chuck at LT?
C'mon, man - you gotta give us more than this!!!
Chuck getting some run at LT, RT, RG.
I like the move of Paea to guard. Should mention that Magnus called it in his evaluation (as other did as well).

So when Gary mentions that Paye had 5 sacks in one practice, how should I view this?
A) oh no, our OTs are struggling
B) Paye is developing nicely
I will go with B.
Can you give us any insight into how the OL is developing?
There are 8-9 players that are ready and can step in at any given time. Much better depth than the last 7-8 years. Big battle at LT. The other 4 are pretty much set for now. Fall camp will see Jalen Mayfield come in and compete. He is a Fr that is physically ready to play and he has the technique to get into the two deep. The OL is very strong on the inside and could go 2-3 deep if needed.
Is JBB-Bredeson-Ruiz-Onwenu-Runyan still your prediction if the season started next week?
Please surprise me and throw Hudson in there!!!
No surprises.
I upvoted you, but with a frown.
Ulizio staying.
Good to hear we are getting some good depth on the OL. Heck if four positions are already set, let the battle for LT continue and I would think we should come out with a very serviceable player there.
I expect the OL to definitely be improved this season.
A little from column a and a little from column b.

I am excited to see what comes from Luigi Vilain this year. Everyone was really high on him before his injury. Let's hope we get another beast mode rush end to help kill some QBs.
Chuck and Jon, EAST QUAD!!!!
Good times were had in East Quad, good times....
Since when are athletes living in East Quad? As an RC guy, when i was there there wasn’t anything close to football players living there
thanks for the links - good stuff
Mason is also cleared 100%.
what does the DL depth chart look like? There is so much movement I don't know who is on the inside as opposed to SDE
Gary/Kemp
Wino/Paye
Solomon/Mone
Dwumfour/Marshall
where do
DIB, Jeter, R. Jones, R. Johnson & Vilain fit in?
What is the word on the battle for McCray's spot and the entire LB two deep? Thanks
I posted this in another thread. At nearly 6 4 260 lbs, with his tenacity, speed, strength and size would Mason ever be considered an option for WDE similar to Chase. It seems he could take over as the manbearpig which is currently Chase Winovich. I'd like to see him killing qbs and stacking bodies off the edge.
