I guess it worked out that we have two open dates on the schedule this year which is going to be two years in a row now. Is it still your opinion that it just worked out that way? Is GA Mangus getting a raise this year since he did not get one last year with the other coaches? Thank you

Hi Tony. Thanks again for taking the time to do this each day. I was wondering if out young, talented corp of running backs is advancing in terms of pass protection. I love Kenny Miles, but I feel that often he was on the field before more talented runners because his blocking and receiving skills were more polished. I know talented backs are rarely asked to learn to block in high school, so are our guys working at learning to pass protect better now?

3 Questions
1. How much of a problem was it that we had Brandon Shell at the wrong position (left tackle), then moved him to right later in the season. It seems it cost both he and Robinson at least half a year of experience which means their learning curve isn't over yet. It that a fair statement.
2. How much of a problem was TJ calling OL blocking...did his misreading defenses cause some of our OL problems last year.
3. Who is likely to see the field first.....either Stadnik, Zandi, Stanley, Spain.
Thanks.

Can you comment on the number of committable offers out for each position? It seems like we're in good shape with several highly touted recruits but continue to offer players that aren't ranked as high. WR and RB come to mind.
