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.

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.

Our LG and Center were sieves. Improvements in those 2 positions would go a long way to making us a decent OL. That isn't happening though. There is no one on the roster to fix the issue. We have some big athletic guys but we don't have enough of them and the remaining guys are big and slow or just not talented. Meanwhile, we have no intermediate passing game to help take the pressure off of the OL. And Sark has no confidence in the line or the quarterback as evidenced by running a QB draw on 3rd and long when Florida had a fucking spy on Manning. What pisses me off more than anything is that Flood and Sark were totally unaware of the issue as we didn't look to the portal, we were fine with our OL recruiting class last year, and we are headed towards a similar or worse class this year while we let some quality guys go to our competition.

There is a play in the game where Wisner gives up a sack to a DE. Florida brings 4 and Texas has 6 to block. 2 OL blocking air and Wisner 1 on 1 with a DE. That should never happen. That is Flood getting worked. I wonder how PFF grades that. I am guessing Wisner gets hammered on his grade, despite the fact he never should be in the position. That is play I think Flood just gets out-coached, but the free OL needed to keep his head on a swivel and help Wisner

I think we've all had bad days in our professional careers, where you wake up the next morning thinking "Oh man. This is gonna suck." Imagine waking up this morning and being Kyle Flood.

Kyle Flood - "don't care, got Sark"

Flood will be here for years.

Yeah, they're absolutely going hammer Wisner for something that he can't control because he has low IQ Neanderthals blocking for him. Unbelievable. I know the exact play you're referencing, and it's infuriating. I remember just shaking my head how incompetent we looked on almost every play. 

Let's not forget every single play seems to take 5 mins to develop. Sark is no wizard. If it takes longer than 20 seconds you need evaluate what you're doing wrong.

That means I'm waking up to a 1.4 million dollar salary. I think I'd be ok.

Nevermind, was bitching about Cruz unable to get in the game and realized he's only a RS Freshman. I guess he's no Jake Major. We're fucked.

Nah our OL coach a certified retard. Bro has seen 4 years of Hutson and thought he is the best option.

He might still know what he's talking about though.

An eight year old with basic football knowledge would know what deficiencies the O Line has.  Will the O line respond next week?  Like Napier, Flood needs to be coaching for his job. And the Oline needs to play like they won't be replaced by transfers in 2026 (if they can).

OFFENSIVE LINE

 

Texas gave up 22 pressures (per PFF), 6 sacks (I counted it as 7 or 8, but I guess they become QB runs at 0 yards) and five other hard QB hits against a Florida DL ranked in the 100s in havoc rate coming into this game. They combined for six offensive penalties (Brooks and Baker had four of them), which ties a season OL record. I feel like they’re capable of breaking the record against Oklahoma, but it will take a team effort.

Their penalties were mostly lack of discipline and focus, but two of them were tackles getting physically manhandled and having to hold on. Baker got ran through like Madonna at the 1997 NBA All Star Game in the second half. Three OL were unplayable – Stroh, Brooks, Baker. By unplayable, I mean their play warranted immediate benching, but we can’t because it’s only Year 6 and one can’t expect Flood to have built out a functional OL by now. Respect the process and check back in 2033.

Stroh is Stroh, Brooks is a true freshman who has no idea how to pass block (he gave up 8 pressures!) and I’m sympathetic to his plight, and Baker is a fairly athletic tackle with good feet who isn’t strong and doesn’t appear to have gotten a lot of technical coaching about how to use his assets (feet, motor). He can’t overcome a strength program built on ads in the back of Tiger Beat magazine.

Two were barely playable – Hutson, Goosby. Hutson has bad feet, lunges in pass pro, and can’t handle athleticism or power. Goosby is an upgraded Baker. Very athletic, long, good feet, still weak. His technique has plateaued and it shouldn’t have. DJ Campbell was actually OK. Our scheme is very simplistic and Florida repeatedly toyed with us by getting our OL to honor useless slide pro rules that don’t apply to the pressures they were running. A scheme that puts Wisner on an edge while two OL block air isn’t ideal. Anyway, here’s our friend Nash to cheer you up.

Thanks Nash.

So are we ever going to find out what's going on with Neto and Chatman (supposedly some injury)? I still don't understand how Neto goes from 1st team all offseason to at least 3rd string behind two traffic cones. I can only assume he is transferring at this point.

My live eye test agreed with Brooks being the worst of the bunch. Seemed like he got beat every dropback.

I honestly do not believe Flood is self- awarene enough to understand he sucks. He's a lazy recruiter who needs constant help with 4/5 star guys, can't identify who sucks and who doesn't *cough* Stroh *cough* *cough *Huston* *cough*. I get there will always be misses based on offers (both Hutson and Stroh), but they're literally the same guys that walked in that front door when they first got here, and one has been here three years, and the other four, and look at them. It literally took Sarkisian down by 3 scores before he put Brooks in, who somehow, which I didn't even know was possible, amassed a 0.0 rating. How??? He's been here for fucking 9 months AND he had A suspension where he could still practice, but not play. How is that even possible? Had he gotten something like in the thirties, yeah, I get it, but a 0.00? Wtf? There are a myriad of oither universes where Flood MIGHT be aware, but this isn't one of them. There is absolutely zero chance he didn't see Hutson get sexually assaulted on Saturday. 

But I do admire your caring. He's a rich, lazy recruiting, moron who cashes checks. We have eleven 3* project BIG HUMANS on our roster, which is exactly 3 more than 4/5 stars. That is far beyond getting it done. He sees FAT BOY, and thinks to himself "I can mold that yeast molded human into a serviceable lineman or maybe even an elite lineman", even though most of those 3* recruits only had offers from the like of Colorado State (Jackson Christian), Cojoe (TCU, SMU, Vandy, UH, Oklahoma St, you get the point), Hutson (he had some pretty solid offers from the likes of Peen St (I'm leaving in this mistake, IDGAF, Alabama, ou, A&M, but I don't know how many were cpmmittable), D. Coleman (Baylor, CU, Duke, Miss St ou, smart kid, meh offers), J. Coleman (see before), Stroh (really solid offer list. Baffling. I won't name them, but they're good), Spencer Shannon (UW, Cal, UCLA, Duke, Kansas, Louisville Wash St. He's here because he's a blocking TE who lacks the first part of his Job). 

I got tired of looking. Guys like Kibble, Chatman, Goosby, Robertson (he's better than Hutson, I don't want to hear it), Cruz were all well underranked, and yet what we have starting Goosby (1st-2nder, [this guard spot is empty because Flood is a retarded person - Hutson (bleh. Rag doll regular SA victim - Campbell (really good, but poor decision-maker regarding penalties - Baker (gets a pass. He's not the opposite side of Banks or even late Christian Jones).
