Let's Talk O-Line

[Doogles]

Can any of you film junkie Millen types pinpoint why the regression?

This was supposed to be the year we've been waiting for since the early 2000s, where talent, experience, and depth all came together.

I would jump back on the Doog wagon if I knew we could run the ball against FCS.

Huff sucks. Weve seen enough

 

[Canadawg]

Because the whole oline looks like this

They have faced stiff competition. I believe Arkansas St had a 236lb D-lineman

Jaxson Kirkland was supposedly getting drafted had he left, I just don't get how at the very least we can't bullrush the little Dlines we've faced.

As someone pointed out in another thread, the low bench press numbers at the Husky combine are proving to be a huge red flag.

Kirkland was so much better as a guard. Even though he’s thinner he looks less athletic than he used to playing left tackle

 

[Houhusky]

The OL practices running plays against our 2-3-6 nickel defense with safeties deep.

I dont think the issue is physical blocking ability. I don't buy the nonsense about low bench numbers when most of those participating in those combine things are the freshmen and bench warmers. UWs line is big enough, in shape enough, and string enough to be a functional unit.

They just don't know what the fuck they're doing. The complicated blocking schemes required to beat modern defenses are not being taught properly. It's not all on Huff, but he's part of the issue.

Fire them all.
