Observations so far....

It will be really interesting to see if we come out with Irwin at LT or at a guard position. I know I'd open up with what I thought was the best shot for success, and then perhaps experiment once I'd established a good sample size. Thus, I'd guess that we see the same lineup, but with Irwin at LT. But if we see a change, it will be Miller at LT and Irwin inside (not at center).
Not me, mine is the back up kicker....
double post..
1. Something with the OL hasn't been working. Got to try anything and everything to fix that.
2. Even though we're playing for 2017 with a contending team and every decision needs to be based on that... as fans when we look ahead to 2018 it would be an ideal situation if we returned our starters at C and both OT spots. I'm much more confident in inexperienced guys being able to step up to start at OG versus OT or C.
Would have been nice to have Irwin for the first two games to sort this mess out...
IMO, the OL has two problems, but I would rather not comment here.
Except when it's the recruit coming next year...
Your name wouldn't be Andy Reid would it?

LOL this is so true. I feel like this is last year all over again. Montez chants last year to come in and replace Sefo and now screaming for the next guy. HAHAHAHAHA! Never a dull moment.

I'm curious. Why would you disrupt Kough by moving him to RG? Why not just put Irwin in to Lynott's vacated spot?
I think they miss Kelley more than we (I) thought they would.
I never thought Huckins had the power to play center. He constantly gets bulldozed over throughout his entire career.
I'm more positive on Montez than you are, I've seen some good things from him last year and this.
Your comment on the feet is good though. The last two weeks he missed multiple open receivers with passes that should have been TDs because he was throwing without having his feet set.
At least a part of this is because the OL simply hasn't done the job. He has been under constant enough pressure that he doesn't show comfort setting and throwing with good mechanics.
You list of positives is good. One that most would miss is Gamboa. He hasn't been spectacular but he has been very solid, very steady. His intelligent play and high effort level has allowed others to shine.
Yeah. He played right guard for two plays against Stanford last year and was destroyed by 92. On the first play he sacked Sefo, on the 2nd play Phillip stood 92 up.
Said what I wanted to say but didn't
My hope is getting Frazier back will help some of the problems on the outside.

This times 70 infinities.
We have come a long ways as a team but in some positions we are still seeing the effects of recruiting G5 level athletes. Irwin has developed into a stud, healthy he will factor in an NFL camp next year.
From him up until we see Lynott, Miller, Haigler come in we were recruiting OL who were not in demand by other P5 programs. How many top P5 programs rely on multiple OL who are Soph level or below in eligibility?
Lynott is already a player. I think a number of the younger OL are going to be quality P5 starters but other than Irwin where are the difference makers in the Sr. and Jr class on the OL.
The immaturity on the OL is harder to cover than a lot of other positions because the physical maturity is so important. I still think a guy like Miller is potentially a very good OT. He did well when called on last week but he is still developing physically into a P5 level OL. (And has been delayed as well by some terrible luck in his health, I really hope for his sake and ours he is finally healthy and stays that way.)
We have also had similar issue in recruiting P5 level athletes on the DL but have been able to fill in with some solid JC guys.
