The Second Coming of the "Great Wall"
I remember the Great Wall offensive line in 1984, well I am hoping with incoming recruits Rod Johnson, 6'5" 315, Trenton Brown 6'8" 350 LBS, Tyler Moore 6'5" 310, Octavious Jackson 6'4" 290, Cam Dillard 6'3" 290 lil baby, and Max Garcia 6'5" 305 we can now have a new calling for the OL, "Running with the Elephants"!
With Kelvin, Fred, Mack  and Matt Jones running behind these young men, the future for the Gator offense is good. If Pease can mix in a better downfield passing game when they are stacking the box, we could conceivably look like Ala rolling over ND in all our games in 2013. Who needs defense when all these guys are heading downfield.
With the addition of the receivers and the talent at QB, I can't wait to put Miami into prison for life, with a beating so bad, that we even lay down on the last play to let Scum get a yard or two on offense. LOL

They need a few snaps (say 200) before anointed anything.

let's wait until they at least play a few games before we even call them good. our ol over the past three years has been horrible so even alittle improvement would be welcomed. alot of schools have ol that is comparable in size

while the potential is there, the Great Wall earned that name by their performance on the field. this group will have to earn their reputation by their play on the field also. here's to hoping that they excel and bring the Gator O to new heights coupled with a stifling D.

Unless um gets hit with sanctions where Jr’s can transfer without penalty, they return a lot of their 2-deep...
Should be a very tough game.

This is where the OL will make an name for themselves one way or the other. And, yes the U will be a tough test early.

Let's hope so. I don't have much concern with us getting our rushing yards and the hopefully improved unit should improve our rushing game. I need to see big strides in pass protection coupled with Driskel getting better with his pocket awareness before we can have confidence in our O to pick up any slack the D may leave in some games next season.

I am calling a big win over scUM next year. They may return a two deep roster, but returning crap doesn't make it stink less. They got fairly well abused in probably the softest conference in America last year. They are in a shambles about to be justly hammered by the NCAA.
I hope Muschamp understands this rivalry enough to know its ok to run the score up on these a-holes. It will also be a great recruiting tool, I'm sure he gets the importance of punking the canes in South Florida.
I'm not worried. I'm enthusiastic and excited for us to crush them.

Let us wait for them to earn the title of "Great Wall of Florida" on the field. Before they can earn that title, they need to stop players from stealing scooters and whatever miscellaneous shenanigans that are going on.

We had a wall these last three years. It was called "The Tearaway" b/c opposing defenders ran through it like that tearaway paper you see high school teams break through before the coinflip.

I'm on the fence. No doubt the group looks good but a lot of improvement and coordination has to occur before we even have a good unit, much less a great one.

Crawford Kerr should be an honorary OL coach.
They can take turns pushing his pick up truck along dirt roads from Miami to Jacksonville !

NO thanks! We don't want any reference made concerning Elephants...that's Alabama's mascot.

  I forgot about all of that rhetoric. Man, was he hyped.
Snell and Starks turned out to be pretty good players, though. They just never blocked for Brock.

If I were in a narrow Spanish city street, and this group came charging down the street, I guess we could call them, "Running with the Bulls". LOL
