Re: Landon Turner
I've watched a lot of game tape on the guy and he just doesn't look pretty. Of course, Strief doesn't look nimble either, and he's got the job done for a long time.

Re: Landon Turner
I think he'll be fine. He's not a dancing bear but UNC average what 220+ yards rushing per game last season? The kid was a big part of that. Plus, we don't need him to come in and be a star, we just need him to come in, earn a spot and do the job. That's it.

Re: Landon Turner
All americans and such so starter is there some where.
North Carolina G Landon Turner Michigan State center Jack Allen Solid backup with possible starter Auburn OT Avery Young, BYU OT/G Ryker Matthews, The others i know little about Texas A&M G Joseph Cheek, Boise State C Marcus Henry The one I am keeping an eye on is BYU OT/G Ryker Matthews So we could get two new roster faces or maybe 3 for the OL? |
