Oklahoma drills, tackling drills, live scrimmaging for hours, not to mention they have rules or penalties in place if you lead with your head or establish helmet to helmet contact. And last but not least they put an end to double days or "hell week" so what they are making up on injury prevention they are losing on a diluted product. 55, in our day the Rams O Line was the corner stone, followed by a great D and a running game, lineman progressed into starting roles, Doug Smith took over for Saul, Pankey and Bain took over for Williams and Slater, Newberry for Hill, Hill for Mack.

Now you have to draft a good lineman, that is not going to get a lot of reps in practice and hope he develops quickly. To me, Allen busted his butt and worked himself into a quality starter, Evans has regressed or looks like he gets no reps, one poster was spot on when he said he was a "shover" as opposed to a mauler.
