How long before Heupel makes changes with OL?

Wait, is Jon Gruden going to be our new left tackle? Glen Elarbee could be the first position coach in history to turn someone over 60 into a first round draft pick! GBO, WGWEFA!!!

I want to reiterate your statement in my own words.

Sometimes an imperfect situation is better than starting over. We need to make this work until we have some downtime, at the very least.

Kind of like that week we had before Arkansas?

I honestly don’t think heard should see the field put Campbell back to Lt and Davis to Rt

Campbell at LT? You realize he’s hurt and his mobility is limited right now right?

 

[Hank Bukowski]

I'm surprised we've not moved some guys around like moving Campbell back to LT etc.

I’m surprised he hasn’t replaced our OL coach.

How is that different from the other games? Maybe he is there, but...

Fewer holding penalties?

The one slight criticism I've had for a while with Heupel is that he sticks with underperforming experienced players too long. It' subtle, but it part of his stubbornness. He seems to wait one loss too many before making changes. He might add a wrinkle here or there in the playcalling, but not much different with personnel. I think thats the case here. He sticks with his initial starting lineup until the end of the game, even if we lose with them. If that happens, he will the feel forced, that he has no other option, but to change something.

But we all see the problems now, so I don't understand waiting. Why do the same thing over and over and expect different results?

Ok. I can see this is a waste of effort.
If you have questions to assist your comprehension, I'll answer. Otherwise, I'm moving on.

Good idea.

Yeah, when Davis didn’t work against Oklahoma so we expedited Heard’s return for Arkansas, only to find out that Heard wasn’t ready to solve our blocking problems either.
