A lot of people have been projecting Posada at offensive tackle, but it seems that these coaches have a 6'6" cutoff for tackles.Thunderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09708792562446136381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-68041890637637064282010-08-13T16:20:31.377-04:002010-08-13T16:20:31.377-04:00you havent seen the view on OT's height expres...you havent seen the view on OT's height expressed elsewhere?

I expect Posada to end up at OT.

Barnum played some OT, but he's mainly an OG. Schilling has moved from OT to OG . . . but he's only 6'5", and they replaced him with taller guys at OT.<br /><br />I'm sure that rule of tall tackles won't be 100% true forever and ever, but it seems to be a general trend over the past 2+ seasons.Thunderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09708792562446136381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-52349971269016307312010-08-12T19:24:57.511-04:002010-08-12T19:24:57.511-04:00@ Blue in South Bend

Barnum (6-3) was an OG and then got moved to OT (at least part-time). Huyge has moved around, Schilling moved inside, etc. Bottom line - OL positions don't matter much for recruiting (besides the Molk/Pace types who are too small to be anywhere but center).<br /><br />I'll trust the coaches on OL recruiting when the team exhibits a reliable running attack and the ability to protect the QB. This is the first year where the talent and depth make that a seem feasible.Lankowniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07421144704503213226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-41402065595019980332010-08-12T12:49:39.058-04:002010-08-12T12:49:39.058-04:00Your projected commit list doesn't include a D...Your projected commit list doesn't include a DE. Are you thinking that Zettel will end up as an offensive lineman (at least nominally), that he'll commit elsewhere, that the team will drop one of the above spots to fit him into the class, or that one of the lower-rated kids might get the "wink, nod, and boot in the ass" to make room?Blue in South Bendnoreply@blogger.com
