Encouraging stuff here.

On the rewatch, there is plenty that Brooks will need to clean up, but that of course is to be expected in a true freshman's first time seeing the field. Yet often you see him climbing with success to the second level.

Brooks moving as well as he does at his size is such a weapon for the Horns.

This was an awesome rep here.

I don't think i've seen anything remotely close to this from Baker.  I'll beat this drum until he proves me wrong but he is a weak link right now on the Oline.  I've seen numerous free rushers from his side.  Maybe its a scheme thing, but i don't think Flood and Sark are scheming for free rushers.

Some of the free rushers to Baker's side have absolutely been schemed or checked into by the QB. Arch did it last year against MSU as well. If they bring 6 and we block with 5, one edge is coming free. 

I think calling Baker the weak link is a little much IMO. But that’s just me.

I found it interesting that they slid Baker to left tackle when they inserted Brooks at right tackle.

It’s left to tight. G-c-g as the weak links with Campbell the worst against what he should be. Stroh seems to have a super low floor because of balance/feet while also playing too early. We’ve heard baker is a technician but currently that means bring in the right place to get overpowered. If Kibble and Brooks are clearly superior athletically and drive wise to Stroh, Campbell, or Baker, play them. 

Imagine chasing down the angle only to see you have to make it through a literal giant.

I find it hard to believe that Stroh is our best option at LG. I'm also disappointed in DJ. This is supposed to be his contract year but he isn't playing like it.
