@Joe Zura's ideal choice for Texas O-line coach:

I have a Pavlovian response to Howard the Duck, where I only think about Lea Thompson in skimpy lingerie. That made quite the impact on me as a kid. 

Please, continue.

On Arch's last 7 on 7 series I don't think he threw a completion. His last ball was thrown way behind the receiver when he was rolling to his right, didn't look particularly sharp. I think he still needed more reps with this team this spring, and holding him out puts this offense behind.

Sure, he'll have time this Summer and Fall but the clock is ticking and hopefully there's no more injuries with key receivers moving forward.

I could be wrong, but I'm not worried about Arch. At all.

I was impressed with the interior D line especially in drills. Sharma used a first step and was behind the O line more than once. We are massive at that position with multiple guys along with the edge guys and what the young linebackers did in live action im excited about the defense. 

I'm impressed with the strides Sharma and Myron Charles have made. It has me looking forward to Justus Terry and James Johnson getting healthy.

Obviously lots of starters out on OL, but it concerns me that this was the position group of absolute need and it’s still a massive question mark.

Did you expect to feel differently coming out of an open practice where 3 starters in one position room were held out?

I would have been really concerned for this defense if the OL made you feel good yesterday with Goosby and Siani on the sideline and Laurence Seymore in Miami.

We were starting Jonte Newman at RT, Jordan Coleman at LT, and Jaydon Chatman at LG. I would argue that it's great for our depth that the OL wasn't thoroughly embarrassed by the defense. Because the OL we see in September will be very different. Goosby - Seymore/Coleman - Robertson - Baker - Siani.

No matter what happened yesterday, it's a question mark until it's not.

I would agree, it's just something I noticed at the spring practice. If he can get the intermediate game going, he'll be fine.
