I do agree with this. Holding the ball for 5 seconds doesn't help people block for you. However, Chaplin did not grade well as a run blocker (PFF) at home or the road. I just can't see this staff deciding to take a risk on a guy who was an SEC bust by paying another couple of million to him. Again, I get that the coaching didn't help him. Let's just hope we evaluated well this portal window, and are prepared to make silent count adjustments like the rest of college football.

In 2025 Chaplin earned an overall PFF grade of 56.6, with a 71.1 in pass blocking but a 56.4 in run blocking. He was also penalized 12 times in 2025. The overall PFF grade of 56.6 ranks him 1,312th in the nation among OTs and the 12 penalties were tied for the sixth-highest in the nation.
From Tomahawk Nation, they are hopeful that Herb Hand will get him playing well.

IIRC he had multiple false starts and/or holds in both of these games at crucial moments

Or was it that the OL made him look like Arnold Jackson?

Sometimes Arnold played bad and made the OL look like shite
Sometimes the OL played bad and made Arnold look like shite
Sometimes they both played bad and looked like shite together
Rarely did they both play well at the same time

Yea and also. Cashius Howell abused everyone

This is from Missouri. 91.3 pass block was very good. Run block not so much. I can grab images of other games if you want.
