Nice...we need some athletic kids that can be developed on the lines. I am tired of seeing us recruit kids that are 300+ pounds that are not strong and can't move. Looks like this kid along with the Clear Lake, IA kid will bring some strength and athleticism to the group. Hopefully some toughness as well

Hopefully some toughness as well This post got me thinking about the type of guys we recruit for the OL. Spoke with some weight room personnel. The OL is consistently the strongest group on the team. And they should be. Not fair to say they aren't strong kids. And I can't think of a coyote OL in recent memory that came into freshman camp over 300 pounds. |

I may have been a little off base with my assessment of recent OL recruits. Maybe it was more of Ed's regime that were the bad bodied kids. I guess it was not meant to be as much of a knock on the current OL as it was meant as a compliment to the new group of recruits. My point was, you do not see many Fr starting on the OL in the MVFC, so focus on strong athletic kids that can be developed and ready in 2 years. I think everyone can agree that we need to get more physical at the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball.

I think everyone can agree that we need to get more physical at the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball. I agree we need to be more physical up front on both sides of the ball. The side that concerns me the most is on the defense. I know we missed Tyler a lot this year, but there is no excuse for not being able to pressure the QB. Even when we blitzed opposing QBs were way too comfortable back there. Bright side is we had true freshmen getting a lot of playing time on the D Line. I've thought about the freshmen not starting on the line situation also. I have to think it's because most linemen that are ready to step in and start their first year on campus get offers from D1 schools. Thoughts? |

I have to think it's because most linemen that are ready to step in and start their first year on campus get offers from D1 schools. Thoughts? I agree, you may be lucky and get a few every now and again. Most programs hope to have enough depth and talent developed that their freshman can take a redshirt year and learn the system and get bigger and stronger. I think that is every coaches blue print, obviously that changes with injuries and recruiting misses and such. In the past I feel like to find guys that had the size (6-5, 300+) and build them into athletes instead of finding athletic, strong high school kids (6-3 to 6-5, 275) and building them into linemen. As I look back on my previous post about OL, I think it was more of the kids that Ed brought in that fell into the former category. |
