POSTGAME POD: Oklahoma's offensive line is awful... and the Sooners are 4-4

[@wademarquardt5296]

Watching this team is hazardous to my health. They make me so mad that I am going stroke out. Plus, my daughters think I’m insane for yelling at and cursing the TV. People talk about this being the worst line since Blake. That’s not true, Blake’s line was okay. Demond Parker ran the ball very well and had some great games. OU offensive problems were quarterback consistency and no WR (beside PJ Mills) that could catch a ball. This is OUs worst line ever. EVER!!!!!! But, they are good about helping Jackson Arnold up after he gets buried by a 300 pounder (how polite of them).

People keep giving BB a pass because of guys like Creed. I say NOW is the only thing that matters, not his past. BB dropped the ball two years ago, last year again, and this year is the result. It's the nature of college football to lose guys every year. Yeah, not usually an entire line, but you expect some to go. BB didn't develop backups so that they could move up. Instead he brought in guys including a G5 guy and a guy from North Texas when he knew we were going to be playing the caliber of teams this year. He thought that was good enough. Good enough to keep drawing a check I guess.

So, let's see. How much of this is BB's fault. 3 starters go to the NFL, a 4th starter sneaks out in the middle of the night to the portal. Is that his fault? Can't hit any of the big fish in the portal to try and rebuild because all the NIL$$$ was spent on DL and defensive players. Is that his fault? We have freshmen who are not ready mentally, but more importantly physically to play in the SEC. is that his fault? Someone else in here said highly paid OL. Tell me, who on this OL is "highly paid "?" If all that wasn't enough, the patchwork OL they did manage to build has 0 familiarity with one another because since spring practice at least 2 to 3 of them have been out with an injury at any given time. Is that his fault? Injuries to the point guards are having to play tackle, tackles are having to play guard, left side guys having to play right side, right side playing left. Please stop me when we cover something that is BB's fault!!! We missed on sooooo many big recruits in the off-season because OU doesn't want to "drop all their NIL on one guy!" That's bullshit! All the NIL $ was focused on bringing in defensive players! I'm not saying that's necessarily a bad thing! It's just the truth! And the OL we see currently is a direct result of that!

If bv is fired the players will go w him good luck then! This team is a offensive coordinator and a few pieces on the online away from being a contender the sky isn't falling

[@GeorgeLowrey]

Exactly. It is hard to see grown men write the hysterical criticism that appears in these comments.

[@ricksaunders8074]

Week 8 and you still say the O line is horrible DUH they will be tell they heal THE BIG QUESTION IS why are they still hurt

[@boomsooner78]

Transfer portal for OL is going to be crazy.

[@chevezmcdonald5142]

He should have kept scrambling in the second half, but he turned into a pocket passer when u knew ur line was compromised

[@chevezmcdonald5142]

Fans calling for coaches job when y'all know exactly why this team is struggling is insane. If this team was totally healthy then maybe I would agree

[@TheOpinionSports]

Yea that’s is crazy. Better receivers would cover up some of the problems for sure.

[@Sooner_Smith]

Being in the stadium today, myself, I didn’t think it was impressive. Stadium was run down and in bad condition. Amenities were bad and the entrances were terrible. Fans deserve much much more. Student section didn’t impress really. A lot of emptiness there.

[@soonerfan4439]

The defense even sucked but the secondary has been suspect all season and Bowman has been over hyped, he got beat all day.

[@Keith-h5y]

If you don’t have dudes you can’t reach the standard. This ain’t rocket science.

[@sethammerman8659]

I think we get offered at 5-7 because of our schedule. Might be the toilet bowl but its extra practices

[@ryanmckinney-ec6jf]

Also, why are we acting like we are surprised by the OL play much less the play of the team in general. The title says “this is bad”? Wasn’t it already and didn’t we already establish that way before yesterday? Did anyone expect the change at OC to go as good as it did? I don’t know of anyone who expected us to even have one good half of football. There is no argument that it looked better for a half. It did and for it being a positive step forward how can we be more upset over this post than last week? This episode was odd(er) in the fact that you seem flabbergasted and I’m giggling trying to understand why? It was an improvement. We should be happy with how the offense looked. Right?

[@GeorgeLowrey]

Right. Angry criticism is counterproductive and should be called out.

[@chevezmcdonald5142]

It's not about the x's and o's its about the Jimmy's and Joe's.

[@yarpyepiddy]

Offer the coach from Indiana the HC spot

[@BradMillsOK]

Yes! That guy can clearly HC way better than BV.

[@johnrobbinson7081]

Taylor Tatum looks like he has been practicing with the o-line in a corner by them selves with no coaching

[@chevezmcdonald5142]

Ou isn't a learn on the job schoo! l hire a legit oc and let him cook! Give me Marion he does more w lesser talent he would ball w Ou level talent

[@TíĐôtd]

You guys are going after BV but BB should be the next coach to get fired, the offense is as bad as it is because of the OL. He had more time than anyone on this staff to get ready for the SEC and he failed miserably. Poor development, poor recruiting, and poor retention finally caught up to BB and exposed him. He's not worth 900k
