Biggest Winners In RU’s OL Improvement Moves
- Thread starter mildone
- Start date
And the biggest pressure to live up to his OC reputation too. Should be really interesting now that he can design plays that take a little time to create.
To think we may be able to use our TEs for something other than pass protection. Watch Langan and Konopka become Gavins security blankets.
Beyond absurd that they're ranked at all going into next season. 78th in Sagarin, at 6-6, with the nation's 78th most difficult schedule last year. They also play @Wake, @ND, @VT, @FSU and @NCState with Clemson at home this season so kinda not getting this one at all.

do we know whether he tried? perhaps they did and whiffed and this year had success?
Gotta link?
Based on what? Finishing last in gauntlet that is the ACC Atlantic Division? Beating Colgate, UMass and Temple and not beating a single team with a winning record? Genuinely curious about how they could be ranked?
Yes, I think the winners are those of us that appreciate some Road Grader in our offense.
Lots of comments on some DL to OL guys moving back to the DL. I just don’t think that’s how it works. If good enough to get on field at DL they would still be there. Unfortunately if you move from DL to OL, the next stop is lower level.
Vedral has no chance of being a loser in this- Kid has played a lot of years as a starter and his goals are to get a degree and get into coaching. If he is not the starter next year and can mentor a young GW, he is getting a huge headstart on his future goals.
Not sure about the other guys but Ireland Brown was getting time at DT before they moved him to guard out of necessity. Also, we lose Turner who was an every down player at NT.
As far as playing time goes ….jeez !!!
Report: Pitt expected to hire Frank Cignetti Jr. as new offensive coordinator
Pat Narduzzi is turning to a familiar face to run Pitt’s offense in 2022 and beyond. Boston College offensive coordinator Frank Cignetti Jr. is expected...

Vedrals experience is worthless in my opinion because he literally has no throwing talent whatsoever
How. Have you seen vedral throw? He can't even throw screen passes accurately.
His best traits are that he doesn't turn the ball over and is serviceable as a physical runner.
As a pure passer, he is one of the worst in division 1
You're entitled to your opinion but it's pretty clear the coaching staff feel otherwise. It's possible the coaching staff be able to get Wimsatt developed to a point where he starts in the first game of 2022. But I'm sticking with my guess that it'll be Vedral who starts in the first game.
Oh if I was betting on who would start, its probably Vedral. That being said he has the worst arm talent of any qb on the roster, probably the conference, and maybe the entire country.
But he probably has the best "grasp" of the offense which will help him immensely.
In games in 2020, plus a few in 2021, most where he had enough time to go through progressions and where our WRs or TEs or RBs were able to get a bit of separation, Vedral was able to get them the ball.
But yeah, nobody is going to be giving him Great Arm awards anytime soon. If the OL improves a bunch, then the decision about playing Wimsatt is likely to hinge almost entirely on how well Wimsatt is able to demonstrate all the other QB qualities coaches want to see, besides arm strength and running ability.
If Wimsatt totally kills it in strength training, and in the meeting room, between now and Spring training, and if he is able to demonstrate all the less visible qualities Coach's like and fans rarely notice in Spring training, then I think he has a good shot at starting.
But if his improvement is merely ordinary, then I would think Vedral will have the edge.
Like I said earlier, I'm excited to see how he progresses and who the staff pick.
Funny that you should mention that. It was one of the things he used to say that had stuck with me all these years as well. How there weren't many really big athletic guys around. He has a lot more credibility this go around. Being in the Big Ten sure helps too.
He did. We missed on a couple and landed Cedrice Paillant who was in the rotation this past season.
Kratch wrote a piece about all the OL. Not sure if they're all on scholarship, but counting everyone on the 21 fall roster, the 7 recruits and the 4 transfers, we are at 32 O-Linemen lol.

They should. Can’t believe we have not used the TEs all that much in the passing game.
