O line

Unread post by GoBlack&Gold » Thu Aug 05, 2021 1:57 pm

Some time back I saw a post that a player was transferring from Western who had been a two year starter at center. I see that Baer Hunter is moving to center. Anybody know if this player is in camp? Hunter played very well at O line

Yes, in camp. Clark was noncommittal in presser other that he hopes be provides depth. The kid did not go through spring so little bit of unknown other than how he played at ECU. Will also have to overcome the deficiency in intelligence...why would anyone go to WCU if in sound mind,😂
On serious note, hope he comes in and is a beast!!

According to Cooper Hodge's media day interview, he say Helms is a mad man and was lighting it up in the weight room. He had first team All Socon honors last year and was starting center as a true freshman. He has played a lot of ball relative to some of our other guys. Whether he starts or not, I don't know, but its good to have someone with college game experience considering what a drop off we have after the starting rotation.

He is Parker Collins 2.0! He tips the scale at over 300lbs. According to some of his teammates, he runs to Howard’s Knob twice a week.

I will say this you have to have a mean streak to play center. Collins did. Correct me if I’m wrong but I think he was the one that blocked the Tennessee player clear into the parking lot on the first play it was awesome.

You are correct. And while you don’t want those types of penalties, that one set the tone for the rest of the game.

Check out Coach Cardwell's twitter post from earlier this summer. Helms is the big bull on the right in the O line group photo.

The defense isn’t even going to see the QB before he gets a throw off. Damn.

Actually, I think Helms is the guy in the blue jeans in the back on the LHS of Cardwell’s pic. The face matches his roster pic a little better. But that brings to question, who is the large man on the right???

You are correct. Helms is the guy behind Lindsay and to left of Cardwell. The mountain posing as a man on the right is Luke Smith.

If I can be allowed to paraphrase Jerry Seinfeld and car reservations, "Anyone can run TO Howard Knob, but getting to the TOP of Howard Knob is the important part." :D

Actually that is impressive if he is doing that twice a week. I ran up a flight of stairs and was tired.
This is my very generic signature added to each post.
