Locker didn't have half the talent around him Browning has. Put Browning on those UW teams, and it would get ugly for him real fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBug708 Posted January 9, 2018 Author Share Posted January 9, 2018 That doesn't invalidate my point. Browning is still a better QB, but Locker can make plays with his legs more so, but Brownings arm looks like Jeff George's compared to Locker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locker had a cannon for an arm and was a pitcher with a 90+ mph fastball HS but had terrible accuracy. Signed a minor league baseball contract as well but didn't play after he chose football. Browning has an "accurate" arm, to put it nicely. Did you confuse the two? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBug708 Posted January 9, 2018 Author Share Posted January 9, 2018 Intentionally, no. I never remembered Locker ever having a strong arm, but I could be wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBug708 Posted January 11, 2018 Author Share Posted January 11, 2018 UCLA grayshirt, Kanan Ray, opts to not enroll at UCLA, chooses to enroll at Colorado. What's the opposite of "afraid to compete"? Needs competition to get better? I feel like our OL is getting worse over the past couple of seasons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glduck Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 it's about to get much smaller, unless chip has had a revelation. prepare for not knowing if you're looking at an offensive tackle or a middle linebacker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glduck Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 chip actually brought in some really great OL talent that’s doing really well in the nfl, the size thing was only ever noticeable against the elite of the elite SEC d-lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBug708 Posted January 12, 2018 Author Share Posted January 12, 2018 I expect, if we win, we should be able to land some decent size guys. I don't expect us to take on "larger" projects however Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chip liked tall, skinny guys on both lines because he couldn't get beasts to UO since he didn't have the recruiting contacts in the Deep South. He can probably change that up and get a few SoCal guys that USC has owned for years, but zone blocking does those guys no favors on offense, and huge d-line guys don't work well when you're on the field 80 snaps a game.

That's not entirely true. He liked smaller OL, it wasn't that he couldn't get bigger guys, Bellotti had some big OL. It was that he wanted OL that didn't get wore out by going so fast. He use to say he wanted bullets not boulers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue was playing against beasts on the d-line, but every offense struggles against a great defense, so I never understood why Chip's offense got criticized when it didn't roll over great defenses. Great defenses stop everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
