Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 4335785, member: 40"] Steering it back to OL, traditionally we've struggled to bring in quality OL, even dating back to when we were good. Our system / having mobile QBs who were elusive helped mask some of the problems. I think we can expect that with continued success, we can see an uptick in recruiting at some positions -- DB is a good example, IMO, given the recent success we've had. But OL is probably going to be a situation where we have to identify developmental types, and then coach them up. A young player like Magnuson -- just for example -- fits the mold. A tall kid [6-4+] who is reasonably athletic, but a bit undersized weight-wise, like in the 265 range. But because of their height, they have the size / frame to add "good" weight without sacrificing the athleticism. And then after a year or two of being immersed in our system, they are 290+ and can move their feet. But the key is coaching. [/QUOTE]
