It appears OL Coach Stanley has playeres learning several positions. i.e. Chandler, Riendle, Kieshnick. this should be a positive for the team as we get into the season and the bumps and bruises take hold. What do you think?

Kieshnick will be good. I think he is having a good spring.

With a thin offensive line, versatility like that will be invaluable. Good move by the coaching staff.

I think MustangFan was refering to the lack of depth at the offensive line position and not their weight.

Thanks PK, I didn't look at it like that. But do you or anyone else know how big they are. Everyone has been saying that a lot of the players have lost weight. I'm all about the OL being able to move, but at the same time I don't want to see them being slung up in the snack bar.

I would guess that the average OLinemen is about 6-3 280. Far from the days of Adami, Holder, Chivo, Bandy and company. 280 might even be a little heavy.

Let's see. Harris is about 6-6, 295; Keischnick is 6-3, 275; Reindl is listed at 6-3, 274; Chandler is listed at 6-3, 277 and Judson Davis is listed as 6-5, 291.

If I can do the math (and there's no guarantee of accuracy here), that makes the average starter 6-4, 282.4.

Of course, the sizes I've listed are based on last year's season-ending roster (except Harris). So there might be some fluctuation there.
