Other issues aside, I have not seen any explanation on why pritchett came out and formby came in. Then we ran it 7 times in a row until we get stopped?

I know Geno came in the game at RG a few times as well for Roberts.

Are we still trying to find the right 5? Seems like a bad place to be testing out the o line

74 had a poor game and just looks slow. He needs to lose 35 pounds. He is just right if we are pounding the rock but not agile enough for the KD offense

A decent quarterback helps with them as well.

The tackles and guards at UW were much lighter and quicker than what we have currently.

The previous OL staffs wanted to get back to ground and pound so we have 2-3 classes of giant maulers, but they can’t pull and get out in space the way I suspect DeBoer would like them to.

I was asking specifically why we were rotating o lineman.

I guess nobody knows

It's been covered thoroughly that we are dealing with injuries and rotating a couple OL to give the injured players less workload

Seems like more SOFT bullshite that Nick Saban didn't tolerate for a second. You either were able to play through the pain, or you didn't play at all.

Roberts has reportedly been hurt and Formby is a better run blocker than Pritchett.

They need to pick 5 and stick with it. If Roberts can't go all-out for 60 minutes, he needs to be the emergency option at guard not the starter.

This is just another little example of this staff having no fricking clue how to manage a roster in the big leagues of cfb. The plan being to rotate linemen in a road SEC game is a choice.

Communication isn’t good no matter the combination it seems. Double team one guy, let another run free. Have two guys to block, can’t decide which and don’t block either.

Lots of errors

The problem is that other than Booker and Brailsford, they haven't gotten consistent play at any one of the line positions. None of them have done enough to lock down their spot.

Neither have I, but that is what the guys over at BOL were saying this past week.

They spend a lot of time jerking off Milroe at BOL so what the hell do they know.

The quarterback play messed them up as well.

Coach Kap said Roberts is dealing with injuries and so they try to manage his workload. He talks about it at about the 1:45 mark:



A couple of weeks ago I believe DeBoer said Formby is getting time because he's been practicing well and has earned it.
