And I think that lineup is a big upgrade in pass protection but maybe not so much in the run game. But I'd definitely stick with it. 

Yeah this morning on OTF discussed whether these 5 will play against bulldawgs in Athens... likely, but may also have to rotate in some of the bigger Texas OL players in order to handle jawja's size and physicality.

    Bobby Burton   I’m a Cam Williams fan. Daniel Jeremiah, ESPN NFL draft analyst, talked about Williams yesterday. It’s nice, yet unsurprising, that Williams is starting to turn head

This doesn't make a lot of sense to me. "Sure the line played its best game yesterday, but we're gonna need some more of Stroh against even better DLs."

Also, we have two OLs from Frisco and both of them are refried ass. 

Shit like this is why I click on so many threads. I don't want to miss something new to say. 

I used "asswater" in a sentence this week. Sweatergawd I'm going to say "refried ass" by Wednesday.

if people said that, they are actual idiots.  our issues are not size or even strength. the issues are understanding responsibilities which it looked like we had a ton fewer of this game.  Stroh is just a disaster overall. we probably should have had Robertson getting center snaps during the 3 game pre season.

I think the OSU game fooled everyone.  running game was OK and Arch was just bad regardless of pressure that game.   therefore we ran with that OL through the next 3 game set which were auto wins and ignored the actual reality of what was going on, on the field, in those games.   then Florida happened and reality struck.  Failure on the coaching staff to really address the issues regardless of the wins.

I'm assuming DJ Campbell is still a bit banged up. 

#5007

For an OL coach that I've read for so long prioritizes pass pro over run blocking, it really is a mystery how it took until November to figure out that Robertson and Hutson are our best pass pro option at LG/C.

#5008

The issue always seemed to be that they didn't know who they were supposed to block in pass pro. I think having two guys who can play center and thus know the protections is advantageous at this point.

I didnt have the “entire oline on the ground gif” from the UTEP game.

I suspect when Kirby obliterates our pass protection schemes we’ll be begging for some Ivy Leaguers.

Texas had 33 yards rushing on its opening drive.The Longhorns finished with 23 rushing yards. #HookEm
By the way, Texas hasn't averaged four yards per rush in a single game since Week 4.
Georgia’s defense in 12 quarters plus an overtime period against Texas over the last 13 months…- 83 net rushing yards allowed on 72 Texas rush attempts- 1.1 yards a carry allowed- 16 sacks- 14.6 points per game allowed

And some people actually believe Flood shouldn't be fired. Fuck, given the results there's plenty of reasons Sark should go with him.

#5024

It took until season week 10 for the offensive brain trust to figure out the Hutson + Robertson solution for the interior.  Even then, this isn't really a combo that is going to excel against the stronger defensive fronts in the conference.

Burton was asked a variation of "will Sark move on from underperforming assistants (Flood)" a few times over the last few weeks.  Each time he dismissed the question, repeated the "importance of continuity talking point," and said essentially they would be replaced only if they left for the NFL or something.

Current state of offensive line is not really something that happened over a single offseason.  This was a multiyear failure of talent identification and development.  Seems like continuity for the sake of continuity is not ideal in this circumstance.

And for all our alleged talent the last couple of years, the OL was subpar, particularly in run-blocking.  Not this level of disaster, but not what you need to win championships against elite teams.

#5026

They weren’t good…not good enough to beat the top teams. Asking them to pull seems insane. Also some of the play calls are just dumb. This team needs simplicity in so many ways and just doing fundamental football the best they can. 

#5028
We need quick passing air raid type offense with this group. Not sark and his over thinking, long developing plays.

You’re in luck. Texas went to that with 3 min left in the game, down 20+ points, with no chance of a comeback.

did Neto get in tonight?  has he played a snap in 2025?

I know he played against Ohio State, and I think he played against the September shithooks. Not sure about any game since, although I have seen him on special teams. 

It must be one hell of a story. We've started three different dudes at LG and not one was Neto.

So... 

I'm most interested to see what the OL looks like in the Michigan game. 

I need to see competent run blocking and not getting twisted up on single DT stunts in pass pro.

We certainly had a personnel issue at LG... And now we're sending a LT to the league. If we aren't spending all of December to get something going on the back side, we are cooked next year.

The 9.95ers think Goosby is most likely back.

I hope so. He'll be passing up top 2 rounds to spend a year with his brother in college if he does.

Passing up the dream is a strong move.

Nick Brooks plans to enter the portal...

Is this for reals, or just a play to hold us up for more money because we've failed so miserably with OL transfers in the portal and he thinks he's got us over a barrel? (And guess what?) Some have said that's what Livingstone, Wisner, Clark, Moore, and perhaps others were doing. I guess it really doesn't matter, since our reaction to those moves has consistently been, "Don't let the doorknob catch you in the ass on the way out."

Or maybe he's like the metaphorical monkey fucking the skunk--he's enjoyed all of Kyle Flood he can stand.

Well, not to worry--the $9.95ers will hype up our theoretical number one portal ranking, and rave about all Sark's shiny new skill-position toys, and tell us how we're going to be just fine with the OL talent we have, then assure us that we'll develop them into the Joe Moore Award finalists. Their motto:

The future's so bright.jpg

We have added new furniture, remodeled the bath and kitchen. Got some new windows, but we now have six leaks in the roof instead of two. But one of the patches is really good and we’re working on getting another shiny new patch. Our roofer is not really great and he’s fucked up other jobs, but this time will be different.
