Hate to do this guys, but if he sees the field again this year, it's a travesty. Dude had 180 lb guys blowing his arse up, he's not ready. God love him.

I think it’s obvious now. If he leaves he leaves. If he wants to get better he can accept that he’s not good and work to get better.
We live in a soft society now. He sucks, deal with it.

He’s not ready to be a starter, and shouldn’t be starting unless we don’t have another option.

Is he related to Chris Capps?

He’s better than Capps. He’s just not ready for this yet

He had a bad night but 2 of his holding calls were garbage. He pancaked one dude and they called holding. Another one they called 5 seconds after he made contact with anyone when it was clear Milroe was going to score

He’s a true freshman that played well last week. He’ll be fine

Mrs. Formby, I’m sorry, but your son sucks. He got beat all night on both bull and speed rushes. It’s the single most embarrassing OL performance since Chris Capps invented the meme.

I was watching the Sky Cam coverage no thanks to Direct TV and their dispute with Disney. and Milroe was gone...Formby well behind the play all alone with his fist in the air when the flag came out

That crew always calls our games like crap and the redneck from last week isn't much better.

I could've sworn that these guys did the same exact thing to us last year and it was Proctor who got destroyed by smaller/quicker guys. I think JC Latham got destroyed to.
How quickly you all forget...
This is not the end of the world for Formby. He has work to do for sure.
Work young man.

They called block in the back on a quick screen out in space on Booker I believe it was and he hardly touched the guy. Just a terrible call.

I have not seen a single OL frick up a game that bad since Chris Capps. Formby sucks and belongs on the bench.

He is a redshirt freshman. The best things about him is he was the main guy who worked on 74 to get him back. He is also the grandson of the couple who started/own Taco Casa.
His feet are slow, he does not have a strong punch,and he is not good at getting hands inside and locking on. Instead he tends to reach and grab when a quicker player runs past him.
By comparison, 57 has a little quicker feet (just a little), is a better drive blocker, but tends to get out over his toes too much. If you could somehow blend the best of both of them you would have a pretty good Rt tackle.

You’re right, I stand corrected

No one probably feels worse than Formby. A few of the calls against him were garbage. I believe he was instrumental in getting Proctor to return. He needs to work harder and improve. Don't give up on the guy just yet.

That’s a good attitude. He just wasn’t ready. He needs to keep working.
What we learned is we need our starters.
Proctor came to the huddle a few times and was trying to help. It’s experience at this point and it takes time.

Some of you chicken little the sky is falling frickers are laughable.
Does Fomby have work to do? Hell yes and I bet he'll be the first one to tell you that. Anyone with eyes can tell you that ref crew was arse. At LEAST two of those holding calls were absolute garbage.
The important things to remember is first, the staff saw what we were doing wasn't working and changed things up. Second, Fomby is young and will improve. He's obviously doing good things in practice or he wouldn't have been on the field. He's just gotta do it when the lights are on.
