Agree, Myers seemed to be very uncomfortable every time he looked in Randy's direction.
Coach Myers OL Availabilty
- Thread starter Aclone
- Start date
Actually I had read the Remsburg article and when it said Tyler Maro at the end, my brain read Tyler Miller. My mistake. My point remains the same, we always seem to be unprepared at OL to start the season. For once, I'd like to see 5 guys working in harmony for 3 or 4 weeks leading up to the first game.
That's not how offensive line play works - unless you're blessed to have had guys who have played together for years.
Meanwhile, Coach Bud Kilmer over in Iowa City is hell-bent on leaving his starters in until they're brought off the field in an ambulance.
Randy asked a question that Myers can’t answer because of HIPAA. Nothing more, nothing less.
alright, this is a BS answer. If you want to argue it's a competitive advantage to not let your next opponent know who will or will not be playing, fine I get that.
HIPAA has nothing to do with any of this, unless you think coaches of most other schools as well as the NFL are violating HIPAA on a weekly basis.
Uh - the NFL is all 100% over 21 or like 99.9%. So even in this situation I never understand comparing the NFL to college football. Other than the shape of the ball, there's not much similar given that 90% of collegiate players are never playing in the NFL similar to how 90+% of high school players are going to play in college. So how the NFL teams are going to do things regarding injuries which has been collectively bargained I believe doesn't make sense
Not very well informed, are you?
In the NFL, HIPAA doesn’t apply because of the employer/employee relationship. That’s why there are regular injury reports.
In college, HIPAA applies across the board. Our coaches can’t and won’t state the exact nature of an injury unless the athlete has signed a waiver allowing them to.
Though CMC often clarifies what an injury had been well after the fact. Like, the next Spring ball.
I don't believe age is a factor in HIPAA laws but I'm not a healthcare expert so could be wrong.
Yeah, wrong again unless you think your employer can announce publicly any various ailments you might have.
It's about consent. NFL players as part of their contracts are required to consent to some (but not all) medical information being released.
There is absolutely nothing barring colleges from doing the same thing, they choose not to because they're generally control freaks who want to control the information that gets made public.
It's a competitive advantage that some coaches use more than others, but I don't know of a college coach that doesn't use it.
You can grab where the shoulder pads are on the breast plate, but you can't take them down.
I didn't know you could grab either until listening to an Athletic Football Show podcast earlier this summer.
At least in the NFL (presumably similar in college) the rule is the hands have to be inside the shoulders and you can't prevent range of motion. The second part is where linemen get in trouble. If a RB cuts back or a QB leaves the pocket and the defender tries to follow, hard to let go fast enough.
In other words, NFL players because of their employer/employee relationship. Duh. Literally what I said. Dimwit.
You’re already proven not to be very bright, so I’ll explain.
HIPAA as written applies specifically to the transmission of a patient’s medical information between doctors and insurance companies. That’s it.
However, because of liability concerns, HIPAA is applied to all sorts of situations it wasn’t specifically intended to.
That includes college athletics, and our coaches and AD have expressly said multiple times that HIPAA confidentially concerns apply to our athletes.
That would be because the University’s attorneys told them to.
Dumb***.
How many years of eligibility does Jeremiah Williams have remaining, Mr. Smartypants?
In an ideal situation you will get your arms locked out and it is very hard for the defender to break free in an instant. If you can't create separation it becomes much easier for them to slip.
I would say O-line is likely similar to where it’s been since day 1. Not great, very average. Probably costs us several games. Very frustrating.
Hoping I am wrong (obviously).
Looking forward to the rest of the team though. Excited to see Dekkers and the defense most.

Well yeah, but that would take all the fun and suspense out of it.
LOL
Not sure of eligibility, but I'm pretty sure Jeremiah has moved into the 2-deeps on O-Line.
You heard it here first.
I was just being a ****, it's an inside joke. Jeremiah Williams is a basketball player lol.
If our tackle on one side is weak I expect either Jared Rus or Tyler Moore to help on that side a lot. I’m not concerned yet
