Yogi Berra would agree.Football is 90 percent physical, the other half is mental.
Hey bubba, I know you like to keep tabs on the OL, what was your take on how the OL played today? What did you think of Oday, and Jackson at LT? I unfortunately missed the game today, so I'd love to hear assessments of our OL...Football is 90 percent physical, the other half is mental.
If they are going to give Brewer a shot, now would be the time. Two weeks of prep time.OK XXXIV, Both VetRamFan and myself noticed A Jackson early on at TC. They had him at every OL position except C, and he did well at all of them, but his best position is LT. He does well at RT also. I thought he would break into the starting OL at one of the G positions. He was clearly better than Edwards and Shelton.
I still don't see what they see in Evans. What I did see, along with everyone watching the game, that when Noteboom went down, and Jackson went to LT and Aboushi to G, the OL started to give Stafford time and give the RB's lane.
Hopefully after the bye Allen comes back to play C. That will improve the OL a bunch.
Though my opinion doesn't matter, I think this coaching staff did a poor job evaluating the OL. Brewer hasn't been tried and I think he's better than Evans. The way thing are going Brewer is going to get a shot.
Nobody goes to that restaurant anymore. It's too crowded.Football is 90 percent physical, the other half is mental.
The future aint what it used to beNobody goes to that restaurant anymore. It's too crowded.
I agree here and one draft choice was not going to improve the line. Plus they extended their own guys in Allen & Noteboom, who had proved not to be durable. Right now my hope is that with Allen back at Center, hopefully he stays healthy and when Shelton comes back they play him at LG and keep Aboushi at RG.Though my opinion doesn't matter, I think this coaching staff did a poor job evaluating the OL.

That's Iowa football instilled into him. Not many OL coaches better than Kirk Ferentz.I'm very encouraged by Jackson. He's HUGE.. which is a big plus.
Did you guys see the end of the pick-6? Jackson was SPRINTING to try and make a play. That's the attitude I want to see.. that's a competitor.
I have to temper all that with feeling like I need to see more. Panthers didn't throw shit at them. Seemed like a bland pass-rush plan and that it didn't test him much. Maybe I'm overthinking what I'm seeing.
If they found a real.. top half of the league LT for nothing? My goodness.. that opens so many doors moving forward. You can trade that 24 first for an edge.. you can use your second rounder next year on a RB and multiple picks on Oline.. looking for an interior starter next year and developmental players.
We'll find out soon!!
Well once they fixed Saffold's shoulder, he rarely missed a game after that.Good point. Saffold missed 28 games in his first six seasons bur just four in the next six years.
Yeah, there was no issue with durability at TCU when the Rams drafted Noteboom, but at first he was unlucky and now it's turned into a trend. Not sure they can count on Boom then more of the 6th OL moving forward.Well once they fixed Saffold's shoulder, he rarely missed a game after that.
Completely different than Noteboom's situation.

They need to draft OL in 2023 with the hope of getting quick results. Jackson could be the man at LT, but it's hard to believe he's that guy going completely undrafted, but as @ottoman89 has communicated multiple times, Jackson is Iowa strong.
I did see Aboushi getting pushed back quite a bit into the pocket, but for coming off the bench I thought he faired well. IMO, that might have been Evans best game in a while, I did not see any pressures given up by him, but I'm still not a fan and wondering what they will do against San Francisco because even with Allen back, Evans appears to be the starter at LG until Edwards returns.Allen should return over the bye. Hopefully, Shelton will return a couple of weeks later. Until then Aboushi will be the man at RG. Having Allen back for the 49er game would be huge. Kolone can't make OL calls and sucks on the second level. All that said both Evans and Edwards suck at OG and they will be the focus of the Niners defense.
