[QUOTE="tynimiller, post: 1000182, member: 6578"] I think MLF touched on this once either this year or last, the best 5 OL don't always mean the starting 5. Let's say overall your top 5 lineman are in fact Bakh, Jenkins, Tom, Yosh and Runyan (THIS IS PURELY FOR example sake). Clearly no for sure center is there...which means you have to have Tom or Jenkins play center...and Yosh is purely a tackle so that means either Tom or Jenkins have to play the other guard spot not pulled in by Runyan. So while Myers may be your best center on the roster, he may not be one of your best 5 OL... Which then leads to is it best to have your best 5 OL on the field, or is it best to have the best 5 OL you can on the field? Such a subtle but massive difference.... Perhaps your best OL you can field actually doesn't have one of your top 5 OL on the roster....for example sake only: Bakh / Jenkins / Tom / Runyan / Nijman or Bakh / Jenkins / Myers / Tom / Nijman *Tom may very well be a better tackle prospect than Nijman BUT having Nijman hold down RT while Tom plays in perhaps is a better overall line? or Bakh / Jenkins / Myers / Runyan / Tom....*arguably Runyan is not one of our best 5 to some (staff is all that matters of course) but perhaps this 5 is [I][B]stronger[/B][/I] than just the pure best 5 OL.
