For those that want a new OL coach, I really doubt that is happening. Funk is all over the recruiting trail right now…

Doesn’t mean other changes can’t be made to support him

If we keep funk our running production will continue to be an eye sore

UberDeek

I actually think the running backs were a much bigger issue than the OL.

Exactly. Props

Brooks starting hitting holes with confidence right when the season ended

MaxxPower

Agree with that. Injuries didn’t help him either.

They also changed the blocking scheme starting with the BSU game and having a

No. It qas the plays called and thus how thwy were blocked. It was all il and ar

Was it an eyesore this year? Because aside from two games, BYU ran the ball pretty darn effectively…

JOPE

12/4/22 10:40pm

We were subpar running the ball against P5 competition.

slatecoug

12/4/22 11:52pm

Not really. We averaged 30 carries for 141 yds (4.6 yds/carry) against P5 competition. Not sub-par.

That's because you are throwing in the Stanford game that way skews our numbers higher. Let's talk real numbers

ManicBlue

30 carries is plenty to figure out if you can effectively run the ball against your opponent.

slatecoug

12/5/22 1:28am

Brooks ran the ball fine, and he only got 10 carries. The offense was not the problem in the Ark game.

ManicBlue

12/5/22 1:42am

I guess you better throw out ND numbers as well, it doesn't fit your narrative

byublue42

What are you talking about? I included the Stanford game.

slatecoug

Thanks for sharing the stats that show 2 great performances, an above average

NYC and Japan

12/5/22 3:32pm

Less than 4 yards/carry against the #104 ranked rushing D is an above average performance. You set the bar really low.

slatecoug

12/6/22 12:19am

Nothing wrong with those numbers. Baylor and Oregon were just better teams with better DLs.

TheLoneCougar

12/6/22 5:53am

Definitely pleased! Especially when you include all of the awesome false starts the OL racked up this year.

slatecoug

I'll reply to this again. #1 pass blocking and #23 run blocking OL in the country this past year.

But individual players have felt a drop off in training & technique improvement

Bald Eagle

12/7/22 7:07am

Those grades are based on individual grades from PFF, every single snap of every single game. The evaluation data

TheLoneCougar

12/7/22 8:54am

I'm curious where you are seeing an OL grade on PFF. I see a RB Blocking grade but that takes everyone into account

kimdaddy35

12/7/22 9:42am

PFF! PFF! PFF! You can't question PFF. All that matters is PFF!

slatecoug

12/7/22 2:05pm

The most respected site in grading players, but whatever. #23 run blocking team, yes there is room to improve. Also

TheLoneCougar

12/7/22 2:38pm

Except you take it as an end all and be all, when it's really only one part of much larger equation.

slatecoug

12/8/22 6:51pm

I have very clearly stated there are still concerns on the OL and they aren't perfect. They have been better than most

TheLoneCougar

12/8/22 6:56pm

Our zone running was suspect, looking more at it may have been a RB issue

kotacoug

12/4/22 10:49pm

You've got to explain yourself on this one when ever statistic says he did a better than average job.

TheLoneCougar

12/5/22 5:46am

Eye test, Barrington transfer.

UberDeek

12/5/22 9:23am

Was Barrington the starter the past few weeks? Was he playing his natural position here at BYU?

TheLoneCougar

12/5/22 9:51am

How does the run blocking rank of 25 work? We weren’t in the top 50 in total

rivercitycoug

12/4/22 10:40pm

Pro football focus rated our OL #25 in run blocking

JOPE

12/4/22 10:43pm

Thus the fact that RB coach could be replaced

Big12Yfan

12/4/22 10:43pm

Brooks got better as the year progressed. Points to good coaching IMO.

ManicBlue

12/4/22 10:44pm

The running wasn’t bad this year

JOPE

12/4/22 10:45pm

Plus brooks was dinged up for a lot of the season

kotacoug

12/4/22 11:00pm

Biggest issue our OL had this year was our power success rate. We were very poor getting

ManicBlue

The fourth down downplay calling was horrific

JOPE

12/4/22 10:46pm

Wasn't great but we still couldn't push the line for 2 yds even on QB sneaks. No excuse for that.

BYU '80

If they send more guys than there are blockers that's extremely difficult

CameronG

We're not even winning the one on one blocking plays so don't lay it all on play calling.

ManicBlue

Here's what you're missing when you make this assertion.

Seems that technique dropped off from Grimes and Pugh/Mateos or was I seeing

Bald Eagle

I don't know enough about "technique" to know if it dropped off or not.

Word on the street in Spokane is that the barrington can’t stand funk. The person I talked with didnt know why but

WashingtonCoug

Barrington is already in the portal

Schultz is back

Very bad news but explains why Barrington is transferring.

kimdaddy35

12/5/22 5:18am

Barrington wasn't going to be the future starter is my guess, exit interview feedback, so he left to find more time.

TheLoneCougar

12/5/22 5:48am

Barrington graded out as one of the top OL in the country last year according to PFF. So either he regressed with

"For other reasons", about what I would have thought assuming you know what you're talking about.

TheLoneCougar

12/5/22 8:56am

Funk is the reason

kimdaddy35

12/5/22 12:43pm

I'll take it. One OL regressed and the rest did great, including the top pass blocking center in the country.

TheLoneCougar

12/5/22 2:06pm

Is that the one Funk benched mid-season?
