Heard OUT vs OU per sources

[chuckiepoo]

I see us going with more TE sets to help.

This is the only point that I find has merit. Stay far, far away from the gamethread. You’ll thank me later.

It’s a gigantic loss. Dayne struggled in the bowl game against Iowa at offensive tackle and the OU DL is a lot better than Iowa’s was. I fail to see how this isn’t a big loss that’s our most important position on the OL

Yeah we struggled to score against Iowa with that left tackle...

 

[Vol737]

Dayne Davis has eight starts under his belt.

Yeah, he’ll be fine. He’s seen enough action. He’s serviceable enough.

Welcome! Enjoy the asylum!
Go Big Orange!

You think losing your OL that protects your QBs blindside isn’t major? I’d argue the only player on offense that would hurt more is Nico

Mays

 

[SockeyeVol]

I’m fine bro just having a logical discussion

Lol. Hard to mix the terms "catatastrophic" and "logical" in this report.

an earthquake is catastrophic....a football player missing a game is....not so much.

Watch out because saying or sucks that Heard isn’t playing will cause @Swiftybaby to get his panties in a twist.

I free ball it baby no undies here

That's what I'm thinking. Move Campbell to LT, Davis to RT.

This is what I’ve seen being reported as of now. I like him better at RT and move Campbell to the left side he’s got plenty of experience from last year

 

[Mccage]

The one O-lineman that I would freak out over being out is Cooper. Not saying this isn’t a loss but I think we’ll be OK.

[cherokeeeVOL]

Somewhat related, but how do we know Oklahoma is all that great on defense? They haven’t played anyone and last year’s team didn’t seem all that great at stopping anyone of note. Is it just the pedigree of Venables?

 

[Ned Ray McWorkher]

The backup may be ok, but there is a distinct talent drop off from Heard to him. This will be a factor (not an excuse). We'll see just how much tonight.

 

[WoodsmanVol]

Maybe this will remind the overhyping, Volgod makers that Nico doesn't win games all on his own. He needs a viable supporting cast to do it.
Hopefully, Heard's backup is adequate or plays lights out good.

I bet our coach has a plan.

That's the help tight ends can be used for. Vol offense will survive in spite of your Armageddon predictions.

 

[Volbrando]

I’m sure he does. They’ve known about this injury. We’ll be fine. Wish we had Heard but we’ll be ok

 

[KTrain]

Yes, but it hurts more when it’s against a team with an elite defense. This isn’t just a guard or something, it’s literally our most important OL there’s no sugarcoating it

No Cooper Mays is and its not close.

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

Next man up! We're ready. Nico might should be a touch aware of it in his reads and decisions. He's capable

This.

Dude you are softer than tissue paper. Can’t take any ribbing from @Swiftybaby or anyone else.

 

[bigdaddy]

How many downs has he played this season? I hate it for the guy. I guess the news that he could have played last week was not accurate

 

[perico]

Well that was money well spent.

We have him for 2 more years. That is a deal.
