LT- Vernon Carey
LG- Jeno James
C- Rex Hadnot
RG- Frank Middleton
RT- Stockar McDougle
That is what I hope to eventually see as our starting Offensive line. If Stockar McDougle CANNOT pan out which I haven't given up on, move Carey to RG, McIntosh to LT, and Middleton RT
LT- D-Mac/Vernon Carey
LG- Jeno James
C - Rex Hadnot
RG- Vernon Carey/D-Mac
RT- Frank Middleton/Stockar McDougle (if benched)
Of course you can see the lineup gets extremely confusing with moving people around, but I feel that Seth McKinney does not belong in the starting lineup, definitely not at C. I like the first lineup I mentioned, and that's what I feel will benefit us the best and I trust Coach Houck's judgement regardless.

Three guys that I expect to be in the starting lineup for other no matter what, is Carey, Hadnot, and McDougle (and yes I've always thought very highly of him despite him being considered an underachiever). If Middleton ends up in the starting lineup whether it's at RG, RT, or LG... it will take time for it to happen for him to get adjusted to the system. Jeno James, I think will be in the starting lineup unless injury and health concerns get in the way. There's no doubt in my mind our O-line is going to be much better than last year and it's going to take some time for them to gel together and function successfully as a team... I like the improvement that's been made on the pass protection but I anticipate better and hope for them to be a solid unit and to unify a well established solid running back. I unlike many others here aren't panicking over the way this preseason has been going, I've actually been impressed by quite a few things as well as concerned with quite a few things as well. I'm a strong believer in an offensive line being the focal point of an offense, and I do feel that we are headed in the right direction with our coaching staff and personnel. First things first though, give Rex some more playing time at C (only wish that we did that a lot earlier, especially in Training Camp) and seat Seth. It's definitely going to take time since Rex has been playing RG for most of TC. But I feel that we're better off Rex learning to be a good C rather than depending upon Seth, that's just my personal opinion.
