Wanted to add a couple thoughts re: the O-line
- I think the fact that Bradford is being brought in as a OT and the staff is still recruiting a couple prospective OTs makes me think we could see Servais moved back inside, prolly to center. As we know he was moved out to OT back in 2019 because he was one of the experienced O-linemen and the staff wanted to get him on the field in some capacity. Obviously, he then got moved back to Center when injuries happened but he was playing at a much smaller size than the year before. I think if he bulks up again, he can be a very capable center and Vett can move back to tackle. The good thing here is that someone like Froumy can start as a backup center and focus on catching up on missing reps in practice, rather than be thrust into the starting lineup after not playing for over a year.

-I hope we see every starting job open for competition with maybe the expectation of Bergeron at LT.

-I hope Dino is able to bring in a quality O-line coach, someone who is an expert technician and can coach up our guys. I think we've done a pretty decent job recruiting high upside OL, but we haven't done a good job coaching them up. There are a bunch of guys on the roster with a lot of upside like Red, Petry, Cruz, Froumy who if they get the right coaching can become very good ACC level linemen.

Obviously besides QB, we need the O-line to take a big jump forward next season. Having more numbers and more experienced linemen back is a great first start, now the staff needs to just coach them up nicely.
