When you do good some don't want to give you credit but when you play bad here and there you get crucified.

He gave up 2 sacks I think but what I like about the young man (who's still getting better by the way) is that he didn't let those two plays define him.

On the fourth and eight pass to Brooks...Formby gave Ty the time he needed.

I appreciate the MENTAL TOUGHNESS some of our guys have now. This area is where Wilkin Formby has grown the most.

Yes, he had and up and down day when it comes to PASS PROTECTION but he had another good day as far as RUN BLOCKING goes.

Keep developing big fellow!

Thanks for your input Mr. Formby, but your son should never see starter minutes at RT again. We have a Sunday guy in Michael Carroll.

Yes, Mr Formby, that is the life of an OL. People notice the bad more than the good. Sorry that’s hard.

By the way I love your tacos.

Looking like Roberts is starting to make his move back into the rotation at RG. Whatever ailed him seems to have passed and he's getting back into playing shape. Formby or Carroll will have to settle down the RT position. Carroll had some bad moments on Saturday himself.

We've also seen these guys execute well at times too. We know they can play, whoever can be consistent will elevate the offense to another level. The right side of our OL is a point of emphasis for opponents right now. If the right side of the OL can just play well enough that it is not a weakness - don't even need to become a strength - then the offense will hum far more consistently imo.

This offfensive staff does not seem interested in settling the rotation.

He had one of the worst performances I've seen in an OT in a long time. Just terrible. The total lack of effort was unforgiveable. Cuevas got a nice chip block on his man and he STILL got smoked by the DE. Just standing there like a tree. The second sack, he just stood there while his man blew by him and acted like he thought someone else was supposed to block his man (?!).

I'm sure he's a nice kid but he's just not getting it done.

You love to make excuses

Formby almost cost us wins the last two weeks with major mistakes at Guard and Tackle.

The guy is slow-footed, unathletic and easily beaten at both positions

Joka you know I love you but Formby ain’t it. Michael Carroll is so much better.


Also…it was Formby who stepped on Ty’s foot at the Goal Line and cost us a TD

Taco Casa is delicious. I thank his family for that. That’s where my positivity for him ends.

It’s honestly that simple. He isn’t a tackle. At all.

I don't think I've made an excuse for him.

I'm glad those two plays you posted didn't define him!

Formby shook it off and moved on.

The first sack was on Ty Simpson (if we are being honest but I know some want be). The second one was on Wilkin Formby for sure. I COULD BE WRONG but Formby looked like he was upset with Daniel Hill on the second sack he gave up.

No, you ARE wrong. Both those sacks were completely and totally on Formby. It's one thing to get beat but completely different for half heartedly trying like he did.
