I am not sure on this post in regards to OL subs.

Does this mean in-game?  Such as someone replacing Macky for some snaps?  Or is this replacing someone in the starting lineup into the season?

For Macky, he isn't the problem on the line.  He has a good year for a 1st year center.  There are 4 problems on the O-Line and Macky is # 4.

For starting lineup replacements, what do you do?  OL is the one position where it is almost universally acknowledged that a redshirt year is necessary.  Hickey probably would have replaced Hay, if not outright beat him out, if healthy.  Lou is redshirting.  Curtis is redshirting.  Trudo is redshirting.  What else is there?  Phillips is a worse run blocker then Hay and he is the only guy who is depth I think on the line.

OL is the one unit that had little talent on it when Marrone arrived.  I would think that would be universally acknowledged, but I could be wrong.
My biggest concern/worry is that Marrone is an OL guy.  I thought this unit would start looking average quickly.  3 years in, isn't average yet.  My hope is for it to be an average line next year with all players he recruited as high schoolers (all JUCO's have warts, which is why they are at a JUCO) but seeing the struggle of Chibane really worries me about that.
