OK Clob....you are now on the clock

Ya never know, he might be packing around a 3rd leg. You can be a visual 3 on a scale to 10 but a tripod gives ya 5 extra points to the ladies.
 
We have no TE. Just go ahead and deal with that. Our back ups will be zero help with run blocking. They get rag dolled by the DE on almost every play. Their routes aren't pretty and there's not much speed. Pretty much useless until broken foot boy returns sometime around OU weekend.
Man, you were as right as you could be on the tight end. I am sure he will be busy in film room this week. A couple of notable plays: The first play of the game where we almost got a safety, he didn't touch anybody and could have helped with the LB that was given a free path to Buechele. Then, the John Burt touchdown "that wasn't"-Here the right tackle held, but, it was a grab to slow him up because he thought he was going to get help from the TE. If you see it, he had his back to the LT and didn't engage any block at all (This particular play was what TH said in "Rewind with TH"). I hope he I a quick learner and is more aware from here on out.

They just need to slap a TE number on Nicholson and put Okafor in at RT. If we are going to ask our TE to pass protect, what different does it make.

I don't know which Olineman to do this with (whoever is the most athletic) but your idea is not bad....I know the defense has to account for a TE that can catch but if he is a liability ALL the other plays then what good is he? Good point.

Evidently, we have a TE that can run block named Kendall Moore. He must of gotten lost on the way from the locker room to the sidelines and missed the game last week.

I don't know where I was watching, but I did hear Herman say Kendall Moore would be on the field a lot more this week.

Clob = not stupid about blocking TE's.

I was listening to Herman when he said Moore would play a lot more this week......I was kind of wondering WHY he did not play last week?....couldn't they tell Gray could not block a soul?.....Maybe he was hurt.

Gray has halfway decent hands but literally can't block sunlight. But swvahorn, if I'm pulling 87 out on every running play and putting him in on ever passing play, that's a dead giveaway.

I get that. But if he is helping to block on passing plays it doesn't make much sense to keep him in. Heck put another wr in or like dj said put a tackle in and max protect. What they did with gray did not work. We all agree on that.
 
Oh no doubt. I just don't understand why he can't get his blocking assignments correct or even put a hat on anyone. Sad.

I have not seen anything of Gray in all of his years here that would leave me to believe that he is any more of a receiving threat than Moore. Just play the best blocker. Neither are giving you anything meaningful as a receiver.

Like swVA said, it doesn't really matter if they are leaving Grau in to protect
On passing downs.

I remember you saying something like.....He couldn't even get in the way of the defensive lineman.

Moore arrived late in the process. My guess is that Herman was rewarding the work of Gray this offseason. That theory requires belief that Gray actually looked okay in the offseason though. I find that part hard to believe

I was equally disappointed in the play of the right guard, and right tackle. Both 75 and 78 had some awful plays. 64 nearly got Buechele killed. And did Vahe make any plays? What disturbing is the line didn't seem to have a clue on who to block.
 
3 things:
1. An offense that depends on a tight end with no competent tight end on the roster.
2. An online that was confused.
3. A Diazian defense that lines up in clumps. blitzes around the end with a safety or LB, and gets gashed up the middle.

Doesn't that seem like 3 strange issues for a coaching staff focused on the details?

Diazian-- isn't that a drug that induces poor tacking, lack of physicality and an aloof attitude about points surrendered?

It's easier to block our guys, because they appear to have no idea which way to go. He probably looked like Rob Gronkowski in practice.
