Beast posited:If it weren't Smith and Mack on the bookends, I think you would see 1, but I think 2 is more likely. I would like to see Jenkins, Runyan, Myers, Newman, Turner

LT Elgton Jenkins, LG Jon Runyan, C Josh Myers, RG Royce Newman, RT Billy Turner.

Beast posited:Yes, it would seem most of the blocking assignments involved him. I hope he is not all-preseason.

Unrelated, you have to hand it to this defense and to Joe Barry. We are incredibly banged up and still put forth a terrific effort.

I don't disagree that it is possible and can be a good thing in the long run. Just not probable.

Z I don't know why the jersey issue. I found it strange too. Some teams like to wear white at home. That way the fans see lots of different colors from the opponents. Some wear white down south to mitigate the sun/heat. Some teams (mainly college have an "all white" or "all black" game were they want the fans to dress in that color too.
