I watched the spring game again and tried to focus on the offensive line. Definitely no expert but had a few observations:
Seth McLauchlan the new center is strong and uses leverage well. One of the D-line got partially by him but he was still able to anchor, torque his body and keep him from getting to the quarterback. Hinzman still struggled with this.
Tegra looked good to me as well. Again, his anchor was strong and it seemed like he was solid both in the run and the pass.
Josh Fryar looked good in pass pro as well. Seemed like he actually won his reps against Jack. The only time he seemed to struggle was against the 5 man line with both Jack and JT lined up on the same side. my biggest disappointment with him was not finishing blocks in the run game. He seemed to do pretty well against linebackers but would drop off and they sometimes would get themselves back into the play.
George Fitzpatrick also looked good in pass protection. Didn't anchor quite as well as Fryar but there wasn't a huge drop-off to my eye. Hinzman, Siereveld and Michalski all struggled to hold up against the d-line.
Overall, I felt pretty good about our starting five and Fitzpatrick.
