Flatirons?We ran them off by saying over and over they suck, suck badly, and they weren't what will make SS successful. New players, same story. What is a common denominator to all this?

I was wondering about this. That makes a lot of sense. Thanks.Traore literally was asked to leave because he refused to gain weight and learn how to block
This is who he is, you will never see that happenCP should totally stop the videos and run hard-nosed practices.
Watching youtube leaves me with the feeling there's too much emphasis on the videos.
I wonder how the kids that no one wants to feature on video, feel about those who are constantly being filmed. I'd guess there's some resentment; and some desire to just get to work..
Talking about how much they believe everything is good, doesn't make it so.
I've always felt that is one of the downfalls of NIL too. I'm not saying to stop NIL, I'm just saying that is one of the downfalls of it. Have and Have nots does create resentment in kids.CP should totally stop the videos and run hard-nosed practices.

Every other time he played, I thought Staub looked good. Not so much yesterday
Who is making and designing the offensive plays and choosing which players to be used? Shurmer? Maybe game has passed him by. Whoever is in charge of film work for coaches needs to be fired.. almost all of the issues and problems CU faced on both sides of the ball were to be seen on film, yet the game plan and the schemes make it seem they were ignored or no film work with any kind of understanding was undertaken and used. Bad clock managment.. is calling time outs and asking for measurements beneath Prime or whatever assistant he placed in charge of this?Hiring a first time coach to help your weakest group from the year before was a bold move.
Not saying it on loadholt because there were tons and tons of execution issues. But unless we see miraculous improvement I think our ceiling is bowl eligible.
That would be huge for the program but with all the hype and 2 and 12 the rest of the world won’t view this as a success.
We have to build a pipeline on the lines and develop guys and that is going to take some time.
I don’t believe for a second that Benson only allowed 1 pressure. Regardless, the Tyler Brown at RT experiment has to end. He needs to be playing Guard and I believe he has a year of eligibility left so he needs to start getting that experience and continuity with Hank now. If they can return 3/5 OL starters next year, that will go a long way.
Benson is doing pretty well playing out of position at guard, when he is better at tackle.. Tyler Johnson is only third team??? He would grade much better at guard than either guard did against Nebraska. But coaching, coaching, coaching.. that is what is needed here and maybe responsible for more of the bad than any of the lineman. Good coaching and preparation would solve virtually all of the problems.. the coaching is almost bad by design like in some Vince McMahon movie. Could the opening plays leading to a sack and quick three and out and first down call from two yard line leading to the pick six have been any worse?
Mayers is a legit player. Tyler Brown should have worked at Center all offseason and started over Hank. The rest I agree withOffensive line is not as much a problem as how it is being used ..
My starters would be:
LT Seaton
LG Mayers/Brown
C Hank
RG Tyler Johnson
RT Khahlil
Line looks much worse because of schemes and plays called..
Imagine how the team and line would look with good coaching and good play call design and coaching.
For instance, once Nebraska given, big lead.. with one dimensional play schemes.. pass substantially all of time.. NU could just tee off and this would make most college lines look bad.
Game plan, especially early on on O, looks like it was designed to fail.
Nobody seems to know. Guy was a good starter at Houston last year and one of the first OL transfers they targeted. He’s also a grad transfer with one year left, so I can’t imagine riding the bench was the plan.Is there more to the story with Tyler Johnson we don't know about? Or is he just not good enough?
My gut says he's in the doghouse for something, but he seems like a quiet, nice guy in the well off videos, but who knows? Maybe he's just not good enough.Nobody seems to know.

if he played, maybe favorite of coaches brown would have to ride the bench?Is there more to the story with Tyler Johnson we don't know about? Or is he just not good enough?
Like with Qs about CP favoring SS and caring about his stats, there may be players who resent the fact that the videos are Deion Jr's livelihood and they are constant video participants, like it or not.This is who he is, you will never see that happen
Close but no.Sounds like we need OL Coach Maximus.
When you can't create continuity with a team and you lose 100 players in 2 years this is what happens. This is why Sanders approach is doomed to fail from the start and I said that and was ridiculed by hundreds of people on this board. I hate to say it but the coach in Nebraska is actually doing it the right way.Who is making and designing the offensive plays and choosing which players to be used? Shurmer?

Are we sure they had a current program? Maybe the jersey numbers got confused....
What if the line problems last year are more on Coach Prime and Shedeur?Who is making and designing the offensive plays and choosing which players to be used? Shurmer? Maybe game has passed him by.

Wells and Washington were the two OL I really wanted CU to keep. They did reasonably well. I watched TT/WSU and OU/UH. The problems at CU are schematic and play calling, almost exclusively. All four of those teams run a shotgun based attack, but bring in HBacks TE and mix in the run. All but OU are far less talented and more productive. Willie Fritz is first year and moving the ball. Prime is not showing he belongs at this level.What if the line problems last year are more on Coach Prime and Shedeur?
Maybe scheme, Shedeur not getting rid of ball quickly enough, and not wanting to share the backfield with a legit running game is and has been the problem?
Remember the way Prime threw the offensive line under the bus? Yes they looked like a problem, but what if scheme, play calling and refusing to have passing game share prime time with a run game is real problem?
Well four of those lineman are doing just fine elsewhere. The four offensive lineman told to move on are starting elsewhere
CU's starting LT and C in 2023 are starting for Oregon State
CU's starting OG in 2023 is starting for Northwestern
CU's starting RT in 2023 that was told by Khahlil that he was there to take his spot and not really given a chance to compete for a spot by Loadholt is now starting at RT for Syracuse and doing pretty well. And what is this garbage of moving Tyler Brown, arguably the fifth best lineman to tackle, and Benson to guard, and leaving Tyler Johnson, one of the top two offensive guards to ride the pine?
It appears talent may have been upgraded, but it was not that bad to begin with, it is the play call and design, the pass first mentality and some of the worst pass play designs... come on those two pass plays set up to be thrown toward either sideline and behind or at line of scrimage at best and then the pick six sideline pass play were completely innappropriate and destined to fail most of the time, why were they drawn up and called.. not sure this helped Shedeur, so whoever drew them up.. is suspect in play design and who would call them from your own 2 yard line against a shallow zone pass coverage giving DB a gift wrapped pick six opportunity.
With all the Charlie RB run calls, is this on the line as well.. it seems to be more on Shedeur and the play caller. Head shrug.
