Re: Mildly frustrating it seems every year they realize they picked the wrong winner of a battle
The handling of the OL in 2021 was unusually incompetent. After Fisher went down, they worked through Carmody and Baker before finally turning to Alt. At LG, it was arguably even worse. Zeke Correll, who was a good center, spent roughly the first six games playing obviously out of position at guard before they finally replaced him with Kristofic. Once those changes were made, the line got significantly better. The first half of that season was an absolute nightmare up front.
The frustrating part is that some of these things seem so obvious to lay observers that it shouldn’t be this difficult for professional coaches to get them right, and it certainly shouldn’t take half a season to figure them out.
Knapp is a guard. Lambert is a tackle. It’s not rocket science.
