I'm hoping Shelton beats out Person, but this is a likely scenario.
Yeah, I hope Shelton takes the spot behind Richburg, too.

We upgraded the center and got rid of Zane. That improves the oline quite a bit. Let's say the rookie RT isn't (I think he will be ready) ready and we have to go with Gilliam again, and the guard positions up for grabs (still no Zane so that's either a plus or same production from next man up imo).
That's still looks/sounds better than last year's lineup.
HOWEVER
JG won five straight last year and should do better with this oline. He has the whole offseason with more familiarity of the system. PLUS, he got new weapons, 2nd year players who weren't bad as rookies and Garcon returning. Jimmy doesn't need a top 5 oline, he only needs a decent one...

i love our center and i love the junk we got rid of. not sure if its enough to elevate things but they have taken steps to address this before the season starts which is something the idiots before them were either unable or unwilling to do

RT: Mike McGlinchey;
Will have a lot of long sustained drives and a lot of first downs and rushing attempts
My predictions
J McKinnon ........1000+ yards ... 230 att 4.6 ypa (14 rushes per game)
Matt Breida.......... 600+ yards ....130 rushes 4.7 ypa (8 rushes per game)
Joe Williams ....... 500+ yards ....110 rushes 4.7 ypa (7 rushes per game)
~500 rushing attempts this year total
~31 rushing attempts per game avg
We are top 3 in the NFL with ~2150+ rushing yards!!!

So, is Williams on the PS? I like how Garnett has lost the weight. Cooper was a top ten pick and finally figured it out a several years into his career. I think Tomlinson is the same -- he's bounced around a little but has talent.
I think the rushing yards, actually, will be more evenly distributed. I don't think McKinnon will break 1000 yards but he will have a lot of receiving yards. I could see 700, 700, 700 honestly.

Mike Person will be the backup Center and Guard. He'll make the team with his versatility to play all the OLine positions at a decent level.

I think so too. T included. Shelton is intriguing. He has to beat out person or Magnuson is my guess.

True. Shelton is very intriguing, but I think he'll be on the PS unless he balls out and beats Magnuson or Person who I think will both make the team because of their versatility.
