Shout out to Greg Van Roten!

If we can give a nod to Dennis Daley (and we should, even if it was for being a pleasant anonymity), we most definitely need to recognize the more positive contributions that were made by our LG, Mr. Van Roten.

The next time you view the 58 yd TD run by CMC, note that it was accomplished not by the straight line speed of our RB, but by the picture-perfect pulling block that took their LB out of the play.  The hole (and the TD) wasn't there without that block. 

I also think he deserves a good bit of credit for schooling whichever novice LT he finds himself next to from game to game.

Or Van Rotten, as Trent Green called him...

(probably not the first time that's happened)

Does that mean you personally disagree with my opinion of GVR?

Or just quoting some guy who's lucky to have the job he has?

I think probably Von Roten is the more mispronounced he's gotten (or is it goten?)

I put this topic out there, because I admire the guy's drive, and I think he's been unfairly maligned by the Huddle, generally.

It's not a comment on Van Roten's ability.

At least he's had some time to gell by sticking to LG for a while now that probably helps. 

Our Oline is fairly young in general as pointed out by one the announcers in the game. 

Daley LT (23) , Van Routen LG (29) , Paradis (30), Turner (26), Moton (25)

Literally no one above 30 and an average age of 26.6 

We just need them to stay healthy for a change. They've really excelled at run blocking in general but could be a lot more consistent with pass protection

    • Yards a game works better over a longer period of time as well. Averages always work out over the long run. The smaller the sample size the easier it is to skew. Also opponents matter more when the size is small. Player 1 lights up 2 bad defenses in 4 starts vs Player 2 playing 10 games vs multiple defenses. It hard to make it apples to apples how it currently sits. Remember during Bryce’s little run last year how annoyed you were when people were pulling Bryce’s starts from week 9 on vs the whole season. 
    • Someone else claimed I said EVERY.  Literally in my post breaking it down it gave Bryce TDs per game.   Shough however has the majority in his favor if just looking at starts. whats subjective about comp %, yards, QB ratings and turnovers?  Now I guess the argument one might make off them could be subjective.  But all I’m saying is statistically as a starter he has been better this year overall.  I don’t think Shough is great.  I think he is impressive based on the situation.  2nd rounder stepping in on a bad team.   And he like so many other QBs…..serves as little red flag going off about what we are doing here offensively. 
    • Player A - 2 starts.  200 yards in each start. He averages 200 yards a game.  Player B - 1 start.  Throws for 400 yards.  Comes in another random game and has 1 pass attempt on a Hail Mary to end the game that goes incomplete.   Now given the random game he appeared for a snap, he averages 200 yards a game. Thats why you isolate starts. If you are talking starter vs someone who began as a backup.  Simple made up numbers/situations to illustrate the point.
