Romberg discusses Corey Gaynor

LuCane said:
He lost the "6th lineman job" to Mahoney. It wasn't all some coach bias, either. Tell us he wasn't a great fit for some of their blocking schemes or he was too young. All that is fine. But, in obvious spots, Gaynor visibly struggled on the field in 2017. Again, that was normal for a True Frosh back then, and is the whole point of saying he was overhyped as someone who'd come in and establish himself as an immediate starter. Not sure how or why this is even a debate. It already played out.

The hope is he is now, as a RS Soph, ready to go as a full-time starter and a better fit (i think so) for the running scheme we're about to trot out.

This is twice I saw you mention a new running/blocking scheme. I don’t recall reading that. Are we going away from the zone blocking scheme?

From what I've seen of Enos in the past, I expect some power run game options, so... pure speculation, really. If we run a ton of zone plays, I expect to see some issues with Gaynor getting there.
 
I don’t think redshirting Gaynor had as much to do with Mahoney being better than him it just had to do with what was best for his future. Probably wasn’t much better (if at all idk) than Mahoney last year so why waste a year of eligibility on the younger guy? He needed a year to get stronger and adapt to the speed of the game and we all knew that. Had he played 4 straight years with no RS he would’ve been a lost cause and never hit his potential.

A year off to focus on strength and he’ll probably have 2 All-Conference caliber years. I don’t think this will be one of them but hopefully he’s serviceable at the least.

he bounced. he was on vacation but decided to leave the show. im assuming that he got sick of being an independent contractor and waking up at like 3 am to do the show (the show sucks anyways outside of tobin).

edit: seems like maybe he was fired? idk why they would just get rid of him tho. that show is drowning with amber and Zaslow
