MAILBAG: Is Joel Lanning the guy?
- Thread starter ChrisMWilliams
- Start date
Perhaps more than any other position (group), a quality offensive line can be as much attributed to knowing blocking assignments and being in the right position than actual physical ability. Knowing who to pick up on a blitz is possibly the most difficult task in football. From the stands it looks relatively easy/straightforward.. but it is not.
"I feel Sam Richardson is better than a guy like Trev Knight, if you put him in OU's system he would put up better numbers." -CW in 2014 on Ken Millers show 3 days before OU walked in and he put up 6 TD's on us and Sam threw for 230 yards in a blow out. Sorry CW, after the scorching hot take I just can't take your QB observations serouis.
I hope Lanning blows it up this year but I'm hoping Campbell can bring in qb's who can be 3 years starters and big time leaders. We need the swagger.
"I love Lanning’s attitude. He’s a bad ***. The kid is a winner."
1-6 in games where he got meaningful snaps. Can you be a winner even if you don't win? I guess this day in age everyone is a winner...

Been waiting a while to uncork that one, huh?
I'm curious to see how Lanning performs with a full offseason as the starter. I like his toughness, but his accuracy is going to have to improve by leaps and bounds. Even if he plays well, I think we're going to end up seeing his backup on the field at least one or two games. Lanning plays a pretty physical brand of football, and all that contact is going to result in him getting dinged up. It's fair to wonder if his body can hold up for a full season if he's out there running for his life or trying to truck guys every time he gets out of the pocket.
It works for me, just loads really slow since they changed it.
Didn't see him on the roster there, but the more reliable source, the ISU student directory, lists a Jacob Park as a junior.
I want to see Joel succeed too, but at the end of the day, I would rather the staff just put the guy on the field that gives us the best chance to win. I'm indifferent toward who that person ends up being.
CW, were you actually wearing your Jorts at the time or did you decide to make a pair and cut off your jeans spur of the moment for the picture?
I am admittedly a little jealous you gave cmj credit for my 'would you rather' thread question. Now if he posted that before my thread it would have to be the biggest coincidence in a while that we both came up with an identical question in the same week.

I have no problem with cut off jorts. It's jorts that are actually made as jorts that always look strange to me. I suppose it was my childhood, when the jeans got too short, they always got cut off and made into shorts.
