Have to wonder if the O-line scheme and calls are as convoluted as the skill position sets? If it takes the QB seven years to have everything down, O-Line has to take 4-5 years?
It’s not my point of view, it’s a fact.

If we had an NFL line....Matt would be upright

You might remember the name because we were one of his top 3 when he made his decision previously, along with Buffalo, I believe. He's 6'4" 300lbs, and has appeared on the two-deep for Rutgers for both of his freshman-eligible years, but never saw game time. I'm guessing he got word he wasn't playing this year either and made the jump.

I think this is a nice late grab for BG. He's really strong and looks pretty athletic for his size, also has a great family pedigree. His older brother just signed a $30 million with the Jags as a DT. I'm assuming he won't be a starter but will probably see some snaps as a backup throughout the season.
University had a release yesterday that Fatukasi is eligible for this season.
