I think to a man, we all agree that the O line is the area next year that will need the most construction to ensure a fine season in 2018. But is it really that far off? Honestly we have to replace Jones - Smith, Officer, Hodges and perhaps O'Neill. Those middle 3 had their moments but are hardly irreplaceable. Start with Morrissey in the middle and/or Dintino which could slide anywhere on the line. Then you slide right to Bookser and Drake at Guard and Tackle respectively... go Left Guard with Carter Warren and Tackle with B. Ford and I don't think you lose much in talent only in experience! Now if O'Neill cones back you keep Pittkett totally clean and he'll be a dangerous second year QB! 2018 can be special even with a tough non conference schedule.
