Farms Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Damn, was excited for him I thought he might be a guy that could have a breakout year. Fortunately he’s probably much easier to replace than either of the tackles and we do have some depth at the position. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Before it was the Offensive Line. Now it's THE OFFENSIVE LINE!!! 1 1 Quote Link to comment

The Dude Posted June 26, 2022 Author Share Posted June 26, 2022 I was holding out some hope the offensive line would show a bit of improvement. But it's going to be bad again, isn't it? It's really one of the position groups I though would flourish under Frost. Still hard to believe how bad it's gotten. 3 1 Quote Link to comment

It didn't become known as "The Pipeline" for almost 20 years under Osborne. Frost is fully aware of the importance, thus the coaching change after 4 seasons. Again, message board drama. 4 Quote Link to comment

This agression will not stand, man. 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment
admo Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 @The Dude I agree with you about quarterback. I feel very confident in CT. Also agree with you on addressing the kicking/punting/ST game. Looking good there. My biggest concern is Inside Linebacker depth, and replacing the production of JoJo Doman. No matter what anyone says, G Nelson is a DE and not a linebacker. I have watched the games over and over. He only lines up against an Offensive Tackle. Don't watch games like Purdue, Minnesota, Wisconsin because you won't notice contributions there. The top 3 tacklers from last year - Reimer, Henrich, Doman. It's not even close after that. And LR and HH have to provide coverage in the flat (Like JoJo did as well). Can they take the punishment each week and remain healthy? I worry there isn't a lot of depth to keep them healthy and fresh. They are the most important part of the defense (DLine gums up the line, ILB have to make the plays. That is Chins defense. If they are being blocked or miss a tackle, safeties have to get involved there. And we've seen how that hasn't gone very well) 1 Quote Link to comment
The Scarlet Pimpernel Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 O-line was my biggest concern even before Nouili was ruled ineligible. Seems like the only recruiter who is of the caliber we need to be successful is Mickey Joseph. 1 Quote Link to comment

Too many flyers. Too many skinny bodies. Flat out projecting guys wrong at ILB/OLB. He got lucky with Reimer. Not a good recruiter. Pretty meh on him. 2 Quote Link to comment

Frost had four years to improve the offensive line, and knowing how badly it was going you think he panicked and threw one of his coaches under the bus. Stop blaming Frost! 1 1 Quote Link to comment
