Eye-opening tweet about our OL talent

That's crazy ...

What is it about Wisconsin that makes good offensive linemen? Coaching, or players?

Underrated recruiting. They bulk up in programs like Wisconsin and Iowa and put the work in the weight room. They are built not bought.

I see the list goes back to 2000, I'm curious where Miami would stand if the list went back to 2005. Pretty much every starting lineman from 2000-2002 got drafted. After that, it's been pretty hit and miss. When is the last time you can say O line was an actual strength of the team?

Of note, eleven of these guys (including six of the last seven) were from South Florida

****ed me off last might when Sanders was interviewing Derwood and he said FSPEW was DBU. Then a graphic came up and they've only had 5 db's selected in the 1st round since Sanders was drafted.

Agreed - go back to 2000 in anything and you will see better results than we have seen in the last 5-8 years

So if games are won in the trenches, how have we lost so many games in that time frame. Our DL has almost always been good.

Name all the DTs we've had drafted the last 10 years.

Bret Bielema said something about the Scandinavian population up their breed big men/linemen. There's tons of people with German/Scandavian decent in that area, and are generally the larger Europeans. This is why no matter what coach, Whisky will always have great run blocking teams.

 

[QuattroCane]

It seems like Big 10 lineman all have this mauler mentality, especially Wisconsin.

 

[SWFLSWAGG17]

The criteria is DL and going back to 2000. I also said good, I didn't say world beating NFL stars everywhere. Take that smug reply somewhere else.

 

[Poptimus]

Would like to see the total broken out by rounds. Guessing we score on quantity, not necessarily quality.

This. Most of our linemen were drafted 3rd round or later. We lacked the top tier linemen that some of the other schools on this list had.

Nah, we have not been very talented on the D-line and the draft shows this.

 

[Miami04]

All these list keep going back to 2000. I'm growing tired of reading about stuff from that long ago. I saw a list today that said in the last 10 years we are not in the top 5 in players drafted, or something like that.

Between 2000-2005, we had six OL drafted (1 per year). Average round- 4th
Between 2006-2017, we had 10 OL drafted (.833 per year). Average round- 3rd

Exactly, its also why @theribdoctor idea of getting a coach from there is ABSURD.

You get no credit as an Oline coach at Wisky. They will churn out roadgraders no matter what.

Bob Bostad thought he was an O-line coach because of his success at Wisky.

Went to the NFL got exposed and now hes a linebackers coach.

Talk to me about how many DTs we have gotten drafted in the last 10 years

Wow I made the same exact comment in response to the same exact post before seeing your post.

Interesting that we have our best season in the past 10 years when we have 2 draft-caliber DTs

Have we had a DT drafted in the last 10 years?
