Pritchett (and probably Geep to an extent) are having us shift a bit from big and powerful, to big and athletic. Raiola loved the former. Gottula may be the most athletic guy that Donnie recruited.

Watching Indiana's center snap the ball and pull around the edge to block a DB made me think back that only Pritchett was probably capable of doing that for us.

I'm not sure I label him a starter instantly, but he's the exact type of guy you go after to give yourself options for starters. It also allows you to have guys play at their more natural spots. Taumua isn't having to slide out to tackle for depth purposes, etc.Not bad options when you look at this:

LT - Pritchett - Brix OR Knaak - (redshirt Mpouma)
LG - Black OR Taumua
C - Evans - Peters
RG - Sledge OR Mubenga - Knutson
RT - Gottula OR Babalade - Knaak - Hammerbeck

That leaves you young guys like Marks and your recruits to figure out where they develop.

All of the sudden the OL doesn't look half bad.
