Glad to see we’re able to keep some pieces from oline. Hate to see Shaq go, but hopefully we find a replacement as good. If I had to guess, we were overpaying some for his performance but he wasn’t bad by any means.

Shaq wasn’t a fit for what we’ll do with the oline is my understanding. Lacked the mobility

yeah that’s cope my guy. 6’8 335 tackles don’t grow on trees. Unless you think Morris was right when he said we needed to get our lineman down to 270 to be more agile.

Shaq had zero lateral speed. Why he struggled

Maybe so. Can’t say I know enough about different oline coaching to know

Was basing my opinion off the opinion of the numbers guy for fayvillains

You are not. Like I was saying the other day, my guess is he doesn’t have other options of comparable compensation. He looked like a major bust this year.

It was probably a coaching/culture problem, not a talent problem.

Not wrong. My first thought was WHY?

Can't hold onto the ball. Go away.

I mean he averaged 5 YPC which isn’t too bad. Definitely seems like he didn’t show as much flash as he did against Tennessee and Mississippi State as a freshman though.

Who was the last coach that wanted lighter and more mobile offensive lineman?

Chad Morris really should stop being used as a reference point. It’s an extreme outlier.

The Morris PTSD is real

Defense is still the concern with Silver, not offense

But it is a real concern to a point. You know that the SEC is a line of scrimmage league. I love speed, but you better have some girth/size as well. (THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID)...

But it is true. Can Silverfish do as well in the SEC with what he had in Mempho?

There’s a lot of concerns that won’t be alleviated until we start playing. How offensive line are developed under a former nfl oline coach should be low on the totem pole imo.

Really just depends on what he's getting.

My guess is too much. He was a portal hoe last year and I doubt he's looking to take a big pay cut.

We'll be nostalgic for the Morris era by the time we're finished being Silverdicked
