This is what happens when you prioritize size over athleticism and talent. Big humans my ass!

Totally agrees with need for athleticism on OL.  Brutal talk about wrong plan for this OL personnel... Sark heavily criticized too

We have very little athleticism on the OL. What's the point of getting these large humans who are not agile and can't keep up with a fast and strong DE or LB? It's so easy to get around them or do what Florida did with the simulated pressure that froze our linemen.

The film guy is spot on on his criticism of unathletic linemen and Sark's play design. Everyone watching us on offense was probably screaming as to why Arch was holding on to the ball so long. Guess what, our WRs are running long yardage routes that take too long to develop. Nobody is running 5-10 yard routes. Sark's style has been either long bombs every other play or short passes around the line of scrimmage. Very strange!

You would think the benefit of the whole "large humans" thing would be that they can generally maul people. But they don't do that either. We apparently look for huge, slow-footed, weak, even-tempered guys to stack on the OL.

I get large humans aren’t great athletes and good fit to for OZ. The issue is why are all these large humans getting pushed around.

I assume Neto and his brother are transferring out and are sitting out the rest of the season.  Zina was getting some run and looking good earlier.  He got a nice looking sack.  I don't think he's seen a snap since.

I dare anyone to go take a look at our o-line recruiting and not come away like this:

Um I think Turntine and Robertson could both start for us next weekend if such a thing were possible. 

(that is an absurd exaggeration but you get my point.)

The coaching staff did the equivalent of throwing Brooks under the bus by insterted him into the lineup. He has hardly practiced at LG, and really isn't a OG anyway. That the coaching staff would move Hutson to OC from a position he has not awful at in OG just shows how stupid they may truly be. How could you not move Hutson to LG and play Robertson over throwing a true freshmen into the mix to get obliterated.

I'd take Kasey Studdard and Justin Blalock rn over what we rolled out there yesterday.

Or just play Neto there. I wonder if he has quiet quit already. You don’t plan for an entire offseason to start a dude on your OL and then just not play him at all.

Yes, obviously I get the hyperbole, but on the other hand, you're probably right. We are that bad. I would personally like to see a line of Goosby- Brooks-Robertson-Kibble-Baker. How bad could that be? It certainly can't be any worse than what we've seen. Hutson is an inflatable pussy who gets tossed around more than Riley Reid at a gang bang. He's horrendous.

Zina has played every game.

He got more snaps than Ethan Burke yesterday.

Zina is going to be really, really good. So it's not surprising, tbh. I like Burke, and he's a dawg, but he's limited athletically at times. But I still love the dude. 

You know who else I would love to see? Colton Vasek, who is more injury prone than Baxter, which in itself is wild. Don't we have donors who can give him adamantium or something?

Has anyone ever seen a zero? 

Huh. Very surprised at Campbell, pretty sad about Goosby, kind of 🤷‍♂️ on Baker, I think the did the math wrong on Hutson, and they should flip Brooks and Stroh. 

That zero is impressive, tho. I'm not sure how one accomplishes such a feat, but here are.
