    Why didn’t he get more love from the star givers? Not that it matters, so much, just curious

    Savage Orange I need ammunition, not a ride. -V Zelensky.

    Probably because his shirt looked like shit.

    Star givers are notorious for not being able to evaluate either side of the line. It may not solely be their fault because the eval camps are ill-fitted for distinguishing the qualities that make good linemen.

    They don't take his heart into consideration, probably don't even think about life championships either

    He didn't do much camping and no one from rivals or 24/7 know where Pearl Cohn is

    And most star givers have no idea what makes a good lineman to begin with

    You can't tell shit about an interior lineman in shorts. Let the big bastards go at it in pads, then you know what you got.

    Venzell Boulware looked great until forced to do that.

    After watching some clips of him, I have doubt Simmons is gonna give us some snaps this year

    That may be by choice.

    Towards the beginning, I dont see him playing a lot of snaps, but by the end of the season he will be a solid 2nd string guy.

    Hes got 300+ lb grown men in front of him with Gooden and Savion. The way these teenagers look is crazy, but if hes at the top at NT right now we are in trouble up front.

    Middleton is every bit of 6' 6" and 311 pounds. He's going to play a lot.

    I'm interested to see how the better depth goes for the dline.

    what if we are both younger and better on the d line?

    it just seems like these newcomers are more ready physically than I recall in the past.

    I really like Kyle and Tuttle, but they had at least 5 surgeries combined between them. Kyle had chronic shoulder issues and Tuttle had the ankle and knee. These guys are a whole lot healthier.

    You can go two deep at DE with Mincey/Middleton

    Two deep at NG with Gooden/Savion

    And two deep at the other DE spot with Butler/Emerson

    and get a lot more athletic up front. Throw in Kingston Harris and Elijah Simmons, that's eight guys whereas last year, especially towards the end of the year, Tennessee had 5.
