Battle at LT and Thomas at LG, other than that, you have it.

I would bet Timothy will hold on to the RT spot. Gore and MacLain will provide the depth.

Don't forget about Shaq Anthony. I think he'll eventually pass them all once he grows a bit more.

battle is to tall to play guard, and thomas os to short to play tackle so a that move would be good for both of them, or if need be flip Thomas to the right side for Timothy and keep beasly starting

Lots of potential starting guards in the group.
Jan 24, 2013, 5:01 PM

Beasley, Thomas, Shatley, Davis and Webster. I could see Davis and Thomas being the starters. Webster, Region and Maybank probably don't figure into the rotation next year.
Tackles will come from Battle, Timothy, Gore, Jones, and Anthony. Probably Battle and Timothy will be the starters.
Who knows, but it should be a spirited competition with enough depth to keep them fresh and wear people down.

You'd have to think from left to right: Thomas, Beasley...

Norton (unless Guillermo steps up big time), Shatley and Timothy.
I like the talent behind that with guys like Anthony, Battle and Gore. I think Crowder will be a Tiger soon, so throw him in the mix as well (if he doesn't RS).
Depth outside of the starting 5 could be an issue, but then again maybe it won't be, we'll find out soon enough.
Either way I think the OL is going to be improved in 2013. How much so I don't know, but improved for sure.

Yeah, I don't know why Beasley wouldn't stay the starter

at LG. He's done nothing to lose his job. If anything he's been somewhat consistent, and he was only a Sophomore last year. I think he's someone fans can definitely count on at LG. Obviously anyone can lose their spot if they get beat out by someone else, but Beasley is no scrub.

.. and Dabo's probably right about that. He was forced into

taking on that LT role though obviously. If a guy like Battle can step up and be the man at LT, then moving Thomas to LG probably could be better for the OL as a unit. We just don't know how it'll play out yet.
Thomas is still capable of staying at LT and playing it well though, IMO.
