coachacola Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Here's hoping that McKnight can work some magic and these O-line guys will put in the work to become a force. We have RB's in place to have a great rushing game. Nothing opens up the passing game like a great rushing attack. When the defensive front 7 is on there heals then we will have an effective offense. We need a strong o-line surge to be able to do that. I agree 100% We need to get nasty, a little mean side to us. Our O-Line is to soft. We need guys with the heart that show they want to play, not just for a letter jacket. Any idea how this year's O-line compares to last year's? Even with Oden and Campbell they seemed to give up a lot of sacks. The O-line just didn't seem very good. Has McKnight made an impact yet?

madams Posted August 10, 2012 Author Share Posted August 10, 2012 They need to get that kid 71 on the Oline out there. He is a Freshman but he is quick and looks powerful. Did we ever find out if he was a walk on? He and Treadway look good out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.KnowItAll Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Judging from yesterday, this is our weakest position currently as we all kind of anticipated it would be. But should only get better by the time the season starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madams Posted August 12, 2012 Author Share Posted August 12, 2012 i didnt see Alfonso out as Center. I left early but I think they put him at left guard towards the end. He does lack experience. But he is not lazy. He actually looks in good shape. He footwork is good. I saw him at the practices. Mcknight needs to work with this kid. He might surprise him. Same thing with Treadway. Treadways feetwork not as good but he looks good and in shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CardAmbassador Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Gillam is not only the most experienced O-Line player but the most experienced player on Lamar's team. I want to say he has played every single game since Lamar restarted football, I would be surprised if he lost that spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madams Posted August 13, 2012 Author Share Posted August 13, 2012 i totally agree! There are many positions on the O-Line that these young players would be good at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest NorthoftheBorder Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Who is Alfonso? #71 A walk on. Alfonso Who? Got a last name? Where did he go to High School? Height & Weight? #71 on the roster is Patrick Carlton. There is no Alfonso listed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike t Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 All I know is Alfonso is the last name. Just off the eye test Id say he is around 5'10 255. Not sure about HS. Carlton changed numbers this season, he is 60 somthing now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 You guys can't go by any of the numbers on the official football roster. They are all wearing practice jerseys and many aren't in the numbers they'll wear on game days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 In practice, Alfonso is wearing #71 along with freshmen kicker Alex Ball. Carlton is wearing #63. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madams Posted August 13, 2012 Author Share Posted August 13, 2012 Saw the video on Alfonso. He didn't always play center. Looks like some right tackle also. Kid looks fast. I don't think he weighs 280. He looks about 6 ft 265-270. But he is for sure O-Line. I think he would do good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he was 280 and lost the weight I would like to see him at 280. 10 more pounds on this kid and he is going to be a monster. I can't wait to see him play.
