Brooks & Stroh at Guard???

[UTTUCK]

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.

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.

6 7?

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.

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? 

[snugsie]

Stroh just isnt good enough

[NothinButDaHorns34]

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.

Brooks needs to be at OT full time and Stroh needs to be at UTSA.

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.

You don't think either of these guys could man up and lick that G spot?

Stroh needs to go.
