Farniok Makes Cowboy's Roster

[thE kErnEl]

Congrats to Matt! He had a great final preseason game this past weekend. Looks like I'll be up in Dallas a few times this year! Am I to old to buy a #68 jersey? Jk, I am.

And Ding last night and this morning.

He’s a pretty decent center, and adds versatility with playing some guard. I’m a Dallas fan and their insiders and scouts really like him as a depth piece

Probably going to be another Nebraska OL who goes on to have a quiet long career playing NFL ball.

Maybe soon we can have professional P5 coaches coaching our players

 

[Alcaus]

Has Austin developed anybody he's recruited?

My feeling is no.

I mean to be fair this is something that has been happening since Billy C and he is regard to as the best OL coach in the Nation.

 

[Faux Sean Callahan]

Has Austin developed anybody he's recruited?

Yes.

They are just young and haven't reached their potential.

Wisconsin is starting 4 seniors on their OL this year.

We are starting...

LT Freshmen

C Junior
RG Senior

I think Austin has recruited well. I also think in 18 and 19 you saw his unit get better through the year. Last year they got worse, but I think that is mainly due to injuries. We need to see them get better this year or we need to move on. I am not saying they need to be a finished product because there is a lot of youth on that unit. We are a year, probably 2, away from having a "good" OL.

Now all that being said there is not excuse for not blocking the right guy at this point. Pieper I am talking to you.

These are all redshirt players with an extra year of eligibility. Jurgens, Piper, and Banks are all in their third years of the program. Jurgens has been a starter since 2019, and still has issues with errant snaps. Piper started the majority of last season. Banks is the only guy out of those three that hasn't seen significant time as a starter. Corcoran is a baby, I'll grant that.

Overall I feel there hasn't been great improvement among Jurgens and Piper. You're definitely more knowledgable on line play than myself, I take it you disagree with my sentiment on those two guys?

Idk if either of you guys are fat but in my head you’re both fat guys bumping chests against each other angrily while arguing about OL play

Jack Stoll made the Eagles 53 as well.

It's a bit funny that Nebraska seems to have a high amount of former players fail forward in the NFL over the past several years.

Husker fans bitch about Farniok....Cowboys seem to like him. Husker fans bitch about Jamies, lotta bad publicity at the end of last year. Chargers speak highly of him. Hmmm

Yes.. they are all RS. Most OL who start in the B1G on good OL's will typically RS.

We still have a really young unit when you compare it to B1G units.

I think Cam has... pissed me off to see that high snap, but if that is an isolated incident I will live with it.

Pieper is a guy I can't stand right now. He makes so many mistakes when it comes to technique and communication. Most of the problems on the OL were from the left side. They were responsible for 11/16 pressures. Cam FYI was responsible for 0/16, IIRC RG was 2/16 and RT was 3/16.

I can see why they like Pieper, but he makes so many mistakes.

I also feel Frost's system doesn't help us have a good developing OL room. What is your offensive identity? What does the end picture look like? Now ask those same questions about Cockeye, Wisconsin or shit Illinois. They all have what they want to be. So when you have an OL for Wisconsin who has 4/5 starters being 5th year guys you have guys who have 5 years of running the same fucking system. They know how to run IZ Power Iso Jet. They know what to do if God forbid a defense lines up in a different front because they have practiced it for fucking ever.

There were 3 OL that HCMR recruited that were worth a shit. Jaimes (good) Farinok (avg for B1G) and Decker (Good, but wasn't going to work out). You can't have 3 years where that is it. We are paying for that mistake now. This was a damn near 100% rebuild in a room that just takes time.

Anyway, if you want to see more improvement on the OL you need to do 2 things....

1. Hire a Co-OL coach. There are too many bodies to coach up. You need more eyes and guys teaching here. You are talking about 20+ scholarship athletes. 1/4th of your scholarship guys, but they get 1/10th of the coaching resources?

2. You need an offensive identity. You need to have a clear end game. If you don't have a clear end game, how are you supposed to know how to get there?

Anyway, long story short. This is a huge year for Austin. I don't think it is possible to get to a finished product this year, but he needs to show improvement in his room. You wont see a good B1G OL until you stop needing freshmen or just guys in general to play before they are physically mature. I wouldn't look at OSU. I would look at Cockeye and Wisconsin for the blue print for what we need to be to have a good OL. Sure you will have the occasional freak who starts early, but most of your starters are going to be rs JRs or older.

I’ve had Austin’s back for the past few years, mostly due to his recruiting but also because we have some physical development happening in that room as well.

I think you’re right about this being a big year for him. It's just seemed like the in-game progress has been lacking to this point, I defer to your analysis as to the "why". Either way, I'm hoping they improve quickly because outside of actual on-field production I like Austin quite a bit.

 

[rwhite]

I liked Austin mostly because of the guys we have brought in, but in hindsight, not being able to fix Cam's snapping issues without bringing in someone from outside may have been a red flag.

 

[Cash68847]

Has Austin developed anybody he's recruited?

My feeling is no.

Our best offensive line was the first year under Frost with Farmer , Foster, and the Riley guys.

Congrats to Matt! He had a great final preseason game this past weekend. Looks like I'll be up in Dallas a few times this year! Am I to old to buy a #68 jersey? Jk, I am.

Get on up here, Amigo!!
You, @lee_carvallo_12 & I can go get sucked off at The Lodge together!!!

 

[dsbigred1]

At this point it seems evident that the players may not be as bad as the schemes have made them look.

I honestly think if we get a competent coach and a transfer qb we could win 8 games quick.
