OL: Wade Weibert, Kansas State; Dan Hoch, Missouri; Zach Kendall, Kansas State; Eric Mensik, Oklahoma; Mickey Okafor, Texas Tech


I'll openly admit that one of the things I'm worst at is grading offensive linemen, but one thing that I don't get is the Kendall love.

Maybe I focus on the bad stuff too much and don't notice the good stuff.  But it seems like he got destroyed in some of the bigger games, and Aldon Smith and nameless freshmen from UCF just clowned him.

Someone help me out here and tell me the really nuanced things that I'm just not noticing because I wasn't an offensive lineman.

no you are right, he was awful. whenever we needed a key false start to kill any hope of a drive though he was there.

I can't believe we make up stuff to disregard our better players.  I know pessimism is the norm when it comes to football, especially defense, but this just gets stupid after a while.

Sometimes I think of the Book of Job and how God likes to really eff with people.

Don't get the Powell hate from the media. He led the entire nation in kick return average. It wasn't like he put up good numbers one game and got hurt.  :dunno:

I don't think Zimmerman is one of the better safeties in the league.  I think its possible that he had one of the better seasons for safeties in the league and should get credit for that tho.

I just think some people are looking at overall talent and not necessarily what they accomplished on the field.

I think what my friend Mitch is trying to say is that true love is blind.
