Kool Aide being served on our improving O Line

[MtnHusker]

Nice Fluff Piece with a side of Kool Aide from Robin about our O Line already showing progress. Practice just started and we haven't even really padded up for full contact but Dean's Boys already declaring improvement. I'm sure the Sheople on RSS will eat that up. Donovan still does not look comfortable in front of the camera. Not the most dynamic speaker but he should get more comfortable with addressing the media over time. I'm interested to see how Lutovsky works out. Loved his film and he's one big boy. Would be nice to have a big ole mean mauler in at guard again.

"noticeably different approach and demeanor" So...what is noticeably different. I mean, come the fuck on.

"shoot, when I was playing here, guys looked like they were in 40-yard dashes when the ball was snapped." Frost

Frost must be misremembering...

Donovan was Frost's most Controversial Hire so I am expecting him to lay it on pretty heavy this spring as to how good Donovan is doing. Also expect lots of Back Handed Comments in Pressers that are basically Austin bashing as unfortunately that has been Frost's Nature. I'm hoping we play more aggressive, and definitely with an edge. Outside of maybe Nouilli I'm not sure I really saw anyone play nasty last season.

Frost referred to Raiola as “Donny” in that interview……..wtf?

Hey, Donny…….”Make our OL Great Again”

I saw a few clips of twitterverse highlights...Nouilli looked incredibly slow off the ball...given, it was only a couple of clips. He's better at finishing though.

just as a reminder, don't buy any of it. the one thing corch scote is good at is off-season bluster. we'll win 3 to 5 games again

"noticeably different approach and demeanor" So...what is noticeably different. I mean, come the fuck on.

I’ve alluded to this before but basically:

1. Austin was empty enthusiasm. He’d get super fired up about teaching a technique but his enthusiastic tone was much more impressive than what he was actually teaching. Like the stuff he was teaching was high school JV shit but he would act like what he was saying was the most ground breaking thing ever. And therefore the actual lesson he was teaching was lost in translation.

2. Raiola is stoic. He teaches with a much higher attention to detail. He isn’t super fiery.

3. In the run game, Austin was more concerned about the player getting to the correct spot than he was about the player actually getting there quickly and moving someone once he got there.



I don’t think I’ve told this full story in this much detail because I didn’t want to shit all over Matt Sichterman last year. Seems like a good kid. But Sichterman quite literally won the starting RG job over Banks last year by getting his shit blown up by Ty Robinson in a scrimmage. I’m not exaggerating.

Banks was looking like a starter through much of camp.

It was an option trap play and Banks got the first shot at it. RG pull. Took a bad angle. Instead of blocking Robinson squarely, he chipped him just enough to knock him off balance. Got like 8 yards on the play. Austin ripped him for the bad angle. Says if you can’t get to your guy you aren’t gonna play.

Next time they run it, Sichterman gets in. Exact same play. He takes a perfect angle, and is going to get a squared up block on Robinson. Except this time, Robinson literally runs straight through Sichterman and takes out Sichterman and our RB in one motion. Negative 4 yards.

GA goes off. Gets all pumped up, jumping up and down and screaming in joy because Sichterman took a perfect angle. And half the team is standing there like “WTF, the guy got blown up, lost our offense 4 yards, and you’re praising him?” Sichterman was the #1 guard from that point forward.

Does that help you understand the difference?

@alt f4 this is 2nd hand and from months ago, so if you were at practice on that day and remember this sequence better than I am relaying it, feel free to correct me.

Slauson said he went to multiple practices and thought Austin did a fine job teaching but for whatever reason it didn’t translate into the games. He prefaced it by saying I played for one of the best in Callahan so I’m not filling you with bs plus he thought the whole staff needed to be fired.

Didn’t they have a scrimmage already? They are 2 weeks in

That’s for sharing. Just hoping for some competent coaching, making adjustments, when needed, throughout the game, etc.

Is that too GD much too ask?

Yore basically Deab 2.0.

When I read shit like this I feel the 5-7 in my bones.

The one thing NU is consistent about is the off-season hype.
