Dylan Sikorski

Uh, Lawrence Seymour, I know he's had the, you know, Achilles, ankle, foot, whatever, fill-in-the-blank issue, whatever that is.

Um, I do wonder how many of the interior positions can Dylan Sikorski play, and is Seymour only capable of playing left guard? 'Cause we've heard that about, about guys, Bobby, in this offense before.

Like, I know early in his career, like, D.J. Campbell, it's like, "Well, why can't D.J. Campbell get more snaps?" Because he, he was only capable, from what I was told, of playing right guard in this offense, and you couldn't move him over to left.

So how many can you, could you move, i- if you needed to move some things around, could Sikorski take some snaps at right guard and you give Seymour some run at left guard? And quite honestly, Kyle Roberts has done a lot for this program, but this is...

We're seeing guys get manhandled.

And then the guy who isn't getting manhandled but having other issues is Dylan Sikorski, a transfer, who came in strong.

How do you get strong? Is it a mystery?

Also, why do we keep selecting for traits that are pass blockers? And then

I don't think we're going to see a David Stone today, but Florida's got some dogs down there.

Dylan Sikorski's played well, but he's still giving up pressures.

And so it's not the tackles.

I think the tackles are about as good as you get.

Well, we're talking about guard, center guard, and, you know, every game in the SEC at this point it feels like it's a CFP elimination game, so every game will be a big game.

Anytime Texas has a big game, we talk about guard, center guard, Dylan Sikorski, Connor Robertson, Brandon Baker.

Uh, that trio did not have their best game collectively against Oklahoma.

We'll see how they fare on Saturday against Florida.

Uh, but anyways, that's where you saw the running lane hit.

Dylan Sikorski on the backside driving his guy all the way through the back end of the play, in which you saw Derrick Cooper run by him as well.

Here you see it and, Jeff, we saw a lot of off tackle.

Obviously, uh, outside zone is something that Texas is known for with Sark and Flood.

You're probably running into either the safety filling or one of these two defenders.

But he sticks a foot in the ground, cuts it up.

And to your point, Dylan Sikorski, right at the second level, running his guy through the play across the hole clears the path for Cooper on this.

Yeah.

Yeah.

His eyes and his feet are just a little bit too slow to be playing at this level, and that is something that I do think can change, is a Dylan Sikorski moved to center, a Lawrence Seymour at guard, 'cause that is going to give you the pass protection you're gonna need i- in a spread offense.

And I think that could be an answer.

Now, Connor Robertson is a positive in the run game, so that is kind of a give and take there, and you're gonna have to figure out how that works.

At the end of the day, I've seen enough from Connor Robertson to feel like there is going to be enough, uh, pass pro breakdowns where it just can't, it can't be sustainable for a full game in a Notre Dame, a, a Georgia, one of these elite defensive coordinators that are going to heat you up consistently.

I don't think he can hold up in that type of game.

I know Dylan Sikorski can at least at this moment.

Yeah, I think you have to experiment there, but I don't put that on Kyle Flood.

And adding higher level talent on the outside at running back, more explosive players.

Bringing in Melvin Seani at right tackle, Dylan Sikorski at left guard, all the adjustments on the offensive line.

Well, what's the result? More talent.

Everybody agreed.
