If at this point you had to choose the starting offensive line for Florida, Carl Johnson and the Pouncey twins would definitely be there, somewhere.
Where it gets tough is when you have to slot each of the players into a specific position.
Steve Addazio, who is the offensive coordinator for the Gators as well as the offensive line coach, has been quite frustrated by some of the team's injuries as of late. Maurkice Pouncey has not done much during the preseason, for example, because he is still recovery from surgery on his shoulder. Having an all-Pouncey brother guard tandem could be possible since Mike Pouncey could play the other guard spot. This is only going to be possible if the coaches are completely 100% sold on Sam Robey, a redshirt freshman, being able to handle the center position.
Addazio had certainly hoped to take a good look at the sophomores Matt Patchan and James Wilson, however both have injuries. Patchan was sidelined by a concussions and Wilson by an ankle injury, so this past scrimmage on Saturday did not allow Addazio to see them play. Patchan is aiming for a big to take the left tackle position, while Wilson also happens to be having a solid preseason. The key when it comes to Wilson is going to be remaining healthy.
Is there good news for the Gators? Yes. They are building plenty of depth and it appears as if they are going to have quite a few different options come the fall.
Johnson could possibly be playing left guard or perhaps left tackle depending on what Patchan ends up doing for the remainder of the preseason camp. It will appear that Marcus Gilbert is going to be the right tackle starter. Gilbert, who is a junior, has both started as left guard and as right guard during his playing career.
