Stanford athletics talked with OL coach Mike Bloomgren about his expectations for the line this year. Of course, the early part of the video talks about All America prospects RG David De Castro and LT Jonathan Martin (whom Bloomgren repeatedly calls "Martins").

It sounds like the line will take a step back in the early part of the season as it gels, and as new guys, particularly the center, take over. Still, they're scrappy and talented, so opponents should not expect the team to step too far back.

One of the things that I found interesting in this video is that it didn't focus on guys lifting weights, but rather on competitions with or against other people: the tug-o-war, and pushing the dumpster.
