Not a lot of sympathy for guys who leave mid season, that’s all.

Guys just entering the portal or announcing are already publicizing who is sending them offers… so maybe there is a technical wrinkle I am missing.

I think some people overestimated him starting on the line. Best of luck to him

 

[Tdaley]

This is a little disappointing! I loved his enthusiasm when he ran onto the field to start the game! He pumped up the fans where I sat for each home game!

Had high hopes for the bama transfer. Utterly confused that he and some of the other OL transfers couldn’t see PT when OL was mediocre, at best.

Actually, the OL was one of the strongest groups on the team. Ranked 9th in sacks allowed this season. And the PFF grades were pretty food for the starters:

OT: #31 and #73
OG: #2 and #26
C: #67

I think the offense sputtered for 2 reasons. First, Roberson did not run very much. Second, I don't think the offensive scheme played to the strengths of the skill players.

If our OL was mediocre then what about the transfer oline we brought in? Then they must be below mediocre. Our oline has been the best we’ve had in recent years, to my knowledge our oline according to Pff only gave up 6 sacks this season but I believe we gave up 9 or 12 for the year due to qb. On top of that imagine we had Edwards starting over Brewton and houston because of the way he runs is more more punishing.I bet we pull out a couple of Ws due to the fact he is a bigger body and hard to take down. Charlton, the rb Coach and Mora really in my opinion wasted the talent our oline had to be successful by not giving the ball to Edwards and Rosa till this second half of the season, it was amazing when we ran the ball down the middle instead of sideline to sideline.

You completely hit the nail. I am not sure how people do not see how last year offense was much better because we had a qb who was a playmaker and teams had to respect him. Whereas Roberson did not take the yards when the oline gave him a solid running lane.

Apparently not better than what they already had. Guessing it frees up some NIL money for someone else?

With Hayes leaving I think there was opportunity for him to start, but I hope he has success where ever he lands.

Yeah, next year we have two open slots at OG that need to be filled.

As for this year Shor was playing tackle and would have had to beat out Senn, who is one of our 5 best players and Lundt, who has a ton of experience albeit not as good at Valentin.

1. QBs (all if them) were unable to make reads quickly enough. Passing game was best on quick throws against predictable fronts (ie 3rd and mid/long).

2. OC wasted too many downs trying to be clever when the team couldn't execute that deep into the playbook. This includes the low percentage gadget plays.

3. WRs not named Buckman couldn't get separation. This is the most puzzling part. They should have been better at this, but it could be a result of 1 and 2.

The OL was mediocre? We only allowed like 11-12 sacks this season.

Ross and Porter couldn’t get separated? You point out Buckman of all people????

He is a tackle and didn't make the 2 deep this year and played in zero games.

 

[ktuck911]

Welp... smh... there goes that thought about Shor... best of luck to him...

 

[ktuck911]

I thought Shor would've been moved to play inside at Guard... we'll never know... not in Storrs, CT anyways....

couldn't have summed it up any better...

He really doesn't have the body type for a guard.

Opposing defenses didn't need to sack our QBs when all they had to do was let our offense lose yards with stupid sideways plays. But, I agree, the low sacks given was one of the few offensive bright spots for the team.

Buckman seemed like he had good hands(except on some punts) but he struggled to get separation.

I don’t recall having seen Schor on any two deep lists this year.

 

[Calhoun's Court]

Really thought Shor would get some time this year and get his chance next year.
The kid always looked ready to get in there.
I wish him well.

 

[ShakyTheMohel]

After hearing Mora's comments about having tough conversations with kids about their future....and needing to add experienced portal talent...who knows which of these kids were asked to move on versus them choosing.
