Seems eerily similar to 2008 (without the hindsight of knowing one of the lineman will be a first round selection).
Our OL is so bad.
- Thread starter CatCoach
- Start date
...and we still don't throw the ball very well. Better in second half, some to receivers too
Colby got destroyed on so many plays today. We’ll see how improved they are starting next week.
The mere fact that none of these experienced OLinenen were good enough to be considered NFL ready should tell us about their talent level.
True, but Kaleb has often been running through huge holes, which says the OL is doing better this year and Lester is dialing up a better run game. Kaleb is obviously a stud...shows you you need elite athletes...but last year he was also a stud, but mostly no holes and Leshon was more effective because he was more power/straight ahead runner.
Other than the poor red zone offense last week, its over all encouraging that we are scoring more points despite lackluster QB play. Cade did have a good completion percentage today....but he lacks the mobility and down field throws.
Correct. Not trying to play the game of what if he wasn’t
But were also one injury away from losing the only guy who can consistently make a big play for us.
Jazz, Moulton are more like ARob. Nice burst, they’ll break off a 20-40 yarder once in a while. They usually get caught tho.
Johnson can score from anywhere. So if he goes down, we have to rely on 35+ play drives which Iowa hasn’t shown the consistency for stringing together more than 6
Such are the fortunes of football. All sports are his a team can handle attrition and who gets injured.
45 carries for 284 yards. Over 6 yards a Carry. Id say that’s pretty damn good. Should we have run for 350 or more? 284 has to be one of our best games in awhile. Look, we gave up a few big plays but our o line and running game has been excellent this year.
