Why were they subbing Little/Williams? It’s not even close, Little needs to start. 

it took Amini getting a serious injury for Ron to ever put Andrew Norwell in, then after Norwell left he immediately re-signed Amini.

he values consistency over talent on the o-line. he's heard people talking about o-lines having to gel so he thinks "oh i can just get any old o-linemen and as long as he plays long enough he'll gel and be real good."

This situation has to be frustrating for Daryl too.  He is on a one year prove it deal that will impact his future earnings, yet Ron keeps trotting him out to play a position he is not adept at playing.  Let him play guard over Van Roten and see what he can do.

Williams wants to be a LT so he can get paid like a LT. Only problem is he sucks at LT.

But of course this is Ron we’re talking about 

We wanted to telegraph whether we were running or passing. Little is the far better pass protector but Williams is a very good run blocker.

Not sure e if it's him or the staff. He's a solid RT. He'd probably be a good OG. He's not even a roster caliber LT. Our best OL is probably Williams at LG with Little and Moton manning the OT spots. I don't know why we're so resistant to playing our best possible lineups.

That’s what I was telling everyone watching the game.  But at this point I will put up with Little’s run blocking and not having my Qb’s beheaded.

    • If we were a solid winning organization most of us would have no problems with this selection. We would have had a capable starter in place to allow him to be eased into the rotation. If were told prior to the draft that he had been completely cleared health wise, we "probably" wouldn't have a ton of reservations about this selection. If we had picked this young man on Day 3 of the draft most of us would have no problems with this selection because we wouldn't have had to use draft capital to move up and get him. Unfortunately, none of the above were true 1)  We were a terrible team in 2023 and needed an immediate impact player. 2)  He was hurt near the the end of the 2023 NCAA season. We traded up to get him even though we knew he wasn't medically cleared to play in 2024. 3) When training camp started we were hearing stories that the knee wasn't ready. That alone should have raised some red flags. I personally would have red-shirted him in 2024 in order to have him ready for 2025. We had Chubba as our lead back and other guys to fill the #2 and #3 spots on the depth chart. There was no need to rush Brooks unto the field in 2024. Here's our draft history in the 2nd round between 2021 and 2024 2021 TMJ 2022 No draft choice. We picked Matt Corall in round 3 (#94) as our only Day 2 pick. 2023 Jonathan Mingo 2024 Jonathon Brooks. We have taken 4 skill players on Day 2 of the draft for the past 4 years who have contributed absolutely nothing to the offensive side of the football. 3 are no longer on the team. Two of them are no longer in the NFL. One  could possibly never start a game due to a knee injury. This type of poor drafting is why this team has been so bad for the entire decade. 
    • Even limited as he was I still don't think they have replaced his production, and not just the sack stats. The games Clowney missed it was very obvious what his value still was. Risky move but whatever. They only had 32 sacks last year and if that drops then it's going to get ugly. I see the improvement in run stopping but not in pass protect in any way.  
    • I have zero issues with this.
