And this group sounds more like '89
I remember 89 all too well. This group doesn't even come close to them. That was a most miserable season.And this group sounds more like '89
Good catch. Houck was a relatively late arrival.Tony Wise was our OL coach in 91.
No doubt. Terribly slow at almost every position. Tuinei, Newton, and Gogan were awful, and Landry started them frankly because they were all over 300 pounds and he wanted to model the OL after Washington's.I remember 89 all too well.

It's weird that 3 future pro bowlers could be that bad. But then Gogan was out of position at RT at the time.No doubt. Terribly slow at almost every position.

The coaching staff was terrible and the offense couldn't generate much. The defense was on the field so much that some wanted to build a house on the fifty yard line to make it closer to work.It's weird that 3 future pro bowlers could be that bad.

True. It's just natural growth combined with the addition of a stud in Big E. A guy like that can make a huge difference on any OL. Gesek's contributions as a leader and a pro were also very underrated.It's weird that 3 future pro bowlers could be that bad. But then Gogan was out of position at RT at the time.

Remarkable what confidence, practicing the right way, and playing as a team can do (plus probable use of PED's in Tuinei, Gogan, and Newton's case).
I think those guys did anything they could to become competitive. Gut feel, nothing else.Fried chicken and pot are performance enhancing?
