He's has been playing. Played against UGA, SC State, NC State, BC, FSU this year. He's also one of the only OL Clemson did not want to lose.
Nevertheless he would probably be an upgrade for our OL next season based on who we are losing and who will be available as of now
This.
Is a good point. While the weak link idea is a possibility, the other likely version is the one good one wants out of a messier group.
I think Weston Franklin is going to be a good center for us in the long run. He got thrown into the fire last week when he had to come in late for the injured Minihan. When he did, Miami put an all-ACC DL playing zero nose right in front of him. Get him more reps these last few games and a good offseason, he should be ready to contribute next year. The only thing that sucks is we used him in one game for just a few snaps earlier this year so if we want to preserve his RS, he only has 2 more he can play out of the last 3. I say play him in the next 2, rest Minihan and maybe he's healthy by the UGAg game.
I noticed the same thing - the young man was pushed into service prematurely. But do you really want to play him against ND and the dwags? Or is Minihan still injured and we have no choice? WF was very highly rated - won't hold a bad outing as indicative but I'd think twice about playing him against the meat grinders ND and the dwags are gonna put opposite him.
In the long CGC will be fired - we need to win games now and next season
ND maybe. He can only play in two more so get him some snaps (literally) in BC and ND. Does t mean he’ll start. Definitely not uga. Let’s let Jonathon Davis graduate…
We can respectfully disagree on this matter. Especially for a lineman on either side of the LOS. Lineman are not expected to be serviceable in their first year. If they are, great. But to expect it is retarded.
No it's not retarded.
