My expertise?
Okay, first thoughts:
Hall has only a current and tentative hold on the right tackle spot. Last year, he often looked horrible trying to deal with outside pass rushes from the left side, and compounded that with several false starts and holding penaltie. But at right tackle, often shaded by a tight end and pitted against a weaker pass rusher, Hall's pass blocking becomes slightly less of a concern.
Second, Hall's hold on the starting spot is tentative. Devery Hamilton--whom Bloomgren has referred to as the prototypical left tackle, "long and with great feet"--reportedly is progressing nicely after a disappointing spring game. (In Hamilton's defense, Mike Tyler's knack for rushing off that left side had made a lot of decent tackles look inept at times.)Â
So David Bright and Hamilton could be the starting tackles for the USC game.
And one of our freshmen five star tackles, Foster Sarell and Walker Little, could end up as a starter by midseason. Little might be the better prepared because he spent all of last year's practices matched up against the nation's top-ranked defensive lineman, Marvin Wilson.
