UTTUCK Posted December 4 Posted December 4 Is it me or does 6-7 guys playing guard seem kind of tall? I just think you need a more low center of gravity guy, 6-3 to 6-4, maybe 6-5 max, 330# wide body road grader. Yes 6-7 guys with long arms all day at tackles. 3 Quote
Moderators CJ Vogel Posted December 4 Moderators Posted December 4 I don’t believe that combo will be your guards in 2026 one bit. Brooks will stick around, based off what I’m hearing. But portal help is the expectation at guard. 7 Quote
drag worm Posted December 4 Posted December 4 (edited) Brooks needs to be groomed to take over for Goosby or Baker and we need new SEC quality portal starters at LG, C and RG. Think DT the past two offseasons. We need war daddy’s if we want to go into this Ohio State game in austin in 9 months with a chance to get that monkey off our back.

TheContractor12 Posted December 4 Posted December 4 We need 2 OGs in the portal. Brooks a backup at OT. Kibble some reps in the spring and fall to see if he can be in the rotation at OG. Can Cruz be a backup C that can play if Roberson goes down? 2 Quote
NothinButDaHorns34 Posted December 4 Posted December 4 Stroh’s lateral movement in pass protection just isn’t what it needs to be for this level. Unless he’s going north and south in the run game i wouldn’t want him on the field. 2 Quote
Red Five Posted December 4 Posted December 4 Brooks needs to be at OT full time and Stroh needs to be at UTSA. 2 1 Quote
AusMOJO Posted December 4 Posted December 4 I don't think it's too big, but neither of those guys are built for the G spot. Stroh doesn't have that mauler mentality and Brooks does but he's more suited to T than G. I'd assume they'll bring in 3-4 guys on the IOL and we might see some attrition from guys already here.

Shmatt Posted December 4 Posted December 4 I don’t think the fan base would be to happy if Stroh and Brooks were our starting guards…😭😭 Quote

Robert Bailey Posted December 4 Posted December 4 Check out the rg and lg starters at penn state. Both starters and backups are portal eligible. They are familiar with each other and would be a plug and play situation. Also no head coach yet. Quote
Joe Naural Posted December 4 Posted December 4 (edited) Sarks -Brandon Harris got this covered! We are taking 3 interior guys ! 1 of 3 can play OT in a pinch… all 3 can play center! Our OL was a f or d grad 1rst 5 games….no ability to give Arch any life in his transition. ( yes he couldnt hit the broadside of barn at times)…. OL never allowed us to lean into run game… giving Arch a breather….nor did we have our full Wr - Te Endries at full steam! Im thankful for Sarks coaching… his staff… we simply had no run … and no pass protection w no fully operational Wr first 6 games! we are lucky to have Arch and Sark n Staff!

You don't go into the NSD press conference and mention the need to sure up the OL in the portal 3 times just for funsies Quote
