Thats cool. The big if lol
IF the O-line plays decent this will be one tough team to stop Offensively with all these weapons.
And i love this Defense.

I will make a prediction that Ced will be better than Andre. I personally think Andre will be last years Og.
I put less stock in PFF than ever right now so this does not surprise me.
I cannot remember how many times Zeitler got beat by his man in the run game last year.
Always thought Andre would make a better Guard than Tackle. He is a good run blocker unlike Z and like Xeno said here
it will be easier blocking in the passing game than on the edge against elite pass rushers like Andre has always done in the
past. Those smaller speed rushers won't be matching up against him all the time.
He can put his head down and be the mauler in the run game we haven't had since Bobbie Williams at RG.

If not there is Westerman who is a powerful dude and trey Hopkins could possibly play.
on the OL I'm only really worried about the 2 new bookends. but Fisher seemed to be getting the hang of RT last year.
Zeit was too slow to pull as well. I am sure Andre would be even worse at pulling. Hope we don't try using him this way.
Redmond is another dark horse on this team at Guard that has been working his ass off this Offseason.
