Deep Dive: Creating a Dominant Texas Offensive Line
Welcome to another edition of the Deep Dive brought to you by Inside Texas Football Power by Inside Texas.com. I'm Justin Welles, your host. I'm with Ian Boyd and Paul Waddlington, always with me on these deep dives. First off, please like and subscribe to the Inside Texas Football YouTube channel. We're getting the $7,000 fast. Please help us out. And also hit us up at Inside Texas.com. We're running a March Madness special, a dollar for a month, and it really is a great time. Spring ball has just started. And now we've got March Madness, which is something we'll have to talk about a little bit at the end of the show. But first, we're going to talk about the offensive line, because going into the SEC, there's one guarantee. You better bring some big boys on that offensive line or you're going to have a long, hard time on Saturdays. Let's start it off. First spring practice was yesterday. Got an idea. Got to see a little bit of what these guys look like. But I think Paul had a really good question to open it up. Who is the best five? Who's going to be the best five guys that we think that they can trot out there for the offensive line in 2024. They have a lot of options. They have a lot of experience and they have a lot of young talent. That right there is a recipe for goodness. Paul, I'm going to start it off with you. Let's go left to right. What are you thinking is the best five Texas can put out there in 2024? Well, we don't know. What I do know are the best three. And then I think the best five will be determined around that nucleus. So starting from left to right, Kelvin Banks ain't going anywhere. And then I think you've got Jake Majors, who has secured his position and he's incredibly experienced at center. A polling center, by the way. A guy who's got a pretty good acumen at moving and blocking in zone and also even just being a polar, which is great, which is really a great way to free up your run blocking schemes. And then finally, DJ Campbell, he really grew into the job after struggling early. As he should, that's what young offensive linemen typically do. Kelvin Banks are unusual for a reason, right? DJ Campbell has had a good off season. He's going to have an even better spring and then early summer. And then I think you're going to see a really good DJ Campbell that Justin, you've mentioned, this is a guy who legitimately thinks he might be able to go pro after the season, if he tears it up. So that's your core three. The question now is, who replaces starting from right going inside? Who replaces Christian Jones? Is it going to be Big Cam Williams? Well, I think that's what the coaches would like. I think they'd like to get him started on his progression. Look, he played some limited snaps last year, but in the snaps that I watched and charted, he is very, very powerful at the point of attack, but he needs to clean up his footwork. He needs to get a little quicker, and he needs to be able to show that he can handle an island pass rush from a quality defensive end. So that's one in a real part of determining the specified. The other part is Hayden Conner, very experienced player, a lot of starts under his belt, very good pass blocker at the guard position, not up to par as a run blocker, frankly. He's just not very good, particularly at displacement. He can occupy a guy for a while, but if that defensive lineman has a motor and has some power, he's going to discard him and go chase the ball. And that is something that is a net negative on the Texas run game. Texas can do better than just hoping to tie at guard. Now, the argument for Hayden is that he is a very good pass blocker. He's an excellent pass person at guard. Now, so the question is, given the awesome depth and some of the really talented young players at guard, might our best offensive line, if Cam Williams is an up-to-speed, might it be Hayden Conner kicked out the right tackle, and then either Cole Hudson or NATO, Lumiazulu, starting at Hayden Conner's guard position. We don't know, and that's why we have a spring practice, and that's why we have a fall practice, and that's why they all compete. We're not going to anoint these guys. That's why Texas went to the playoffs last year, because they're not anointing anyone. You have to go earn your job, and you saw playing time, increase, and decrease at a lot of positions over the course of the year. Offensive line, ideally, I know people say, "Well, rotate them if you got all this talent." You need to get starters. You need to have them win the job, and they need to gel and all play together. That is my soliloquy on our search for Best Five. Gentlemen, tear it apart. What do you think? Let me make a little bit of a defensive Hayden Conner. The big NASA. I think what Paul said is accurate. I will say that when he's pulling on counter, he's not super physical there. He's not really physical in general. It's basically the complaint, but it's really more about making good contact on those poles, and the targets are often pretty small. If you play pass protector, then you tend to get the job done pretty well. They pulled him a ton last year, and he was good. He was also good when guys would try to adjust and get inside him. He would just ride him inside so the ball could spill outside. He's quick in general. He's good at reaching guys on outside zone. When they block outside zone, he's actually not a negative, like maybe on duo or inside zone or something where he needs to be physical and move a guy like Paul was saying. Outside zone, he'll beat a guy to a spot. Then he just has to hold serve and tie, and he actually is pretty effective. Sometimes he's actually very effective when he gets that done. Ian, you're describing a phenomenon that I started calling a long time ago, a screener rather than a driver. Screener can be effective. There are effective college offensive lines where every guy's a screener, and you build out your entire run game around that. It's about beating people to spots and sort of partitioning them off briefly so the back can get through quickly. Texas has a different vision, and we've got guys they've had a different vision in recent years, but by the end of the year last year, they were running a lot outside zone, and majors is very good at it. Campbell is very good at it. Banks is very good at it, so it's like if they're all good at it, and you have plenty of it in the playbook, they have a dozen iterations of outside zone in the playbook, and he's good at counter, then you have like two mainstay run schemes and a gazillion protections you can run off of it on play action. So to me, Hudson is clearly an all-around better player than Connor, but I could see how they might think that Connor just makes for an easy fit and guarantees that they can do all the things that they really want to major in. Yeah, I think the appeal of the drive blocking, particularly inside, is as you know Ian, if a lightbox really can show up in the play action game and the inside zone and that interaction, right, or just power running duo. If you are physically superior inside, and a team is really worried about your passing attack and they're playing an honest or even a lightbox, you can literally just hammer them downhill. Yeah, and Jayden Blue has proven actually great facility as an inside runner. He goes about it differently, he's not Earl Campbell in there, but I think CJ Baxter, as he grows into his body, is still waiting for that to happen. We need to have that element in our run game, and I think one of the things that struck me about Michigan, and you could overstate, like, let's look at the national champion and build our program around them. Well, we can't duplicate some of the things they do, because it's their identity, but the diversity of Michigan's run game was very striking to me. Their past game was circa 1998, college football, you know, JJ McCarthy, you know, make a play, but their run game was incredibly diverse. They zone, they man block, they did crazy pulls, and they had all sorts of misdirection, and guys moving around in different angles. And I think that there's something to be taken from that, that if you have really good backs, and then you more importantly, you've got really good receivers threatening you outside, so you can't load up the box. I think Texas has the ability to be a really dangerous running team and a holistic running team, if they can get a little bit more of a complete player at that guard position. That all said, past blocking is the number one job, and that's a big change in the evolution of college football, right? You used to be able to get by with just a run blocking line, and you play action to buy a little time on your past game, but you know, you can't give up easy internal pressure in college football and the modern passing game, particularly our passing game. So that is a huge leg up for Hayden Conner, and I think it's a good position for Texas to be in, and that he needs to get beat out for this to happen. It's not just that you can tie him, right? And then Cam Williams is sort of the other element. Hey, you talked about Cole Hudson being maybe the clear all around better player. What about NATO, only a Zolu? Isn't he the most athletic dude inside that we've got on the roster? Probably the most athletic, yeah. Inside, inside, yes. Let me say one more thing for Hudson again to bolster your point actually before we talk about those guys. Go line. Go line is where, you know, Texas was weak last year, and Hudson makes a difference over Conner. Yeah, NATO, I thought that like in the spring game last year, he didn't look very comfortable to me yet. Neither he nor Cam, Cam was really physical at guard in the spring game last year, but neither of them really looked very comfortable. So I figured that neither of them would end up breaking through. But NATO is, I mean, it's kind of surprising to me that he hasn't repped any attack while at Texas. So he must be really a plus athlete at guard. We'll have to see like the spring, how far along he's come with, you know, the rudimentary dimensions of guard play, but I think Paul made a great point about you can't get beaten past past blocking game, especially in this day and age. And with these two quarterbacks, when you have a queen, you were in an archmending, the impetus is going to be protect those guys. You're taking, you're looking at two future NFL early draft picks. And so Cam Williams, I think they want him that's, I don't want to say it's his job to lose, but I think that that's exactly what it is. They want him to go and take it. They want him to get a little bit of his weight down. They want to get his protections a little bit more crisp. And they want to, you know, he does get beat on the speed rush on times. And so I know they want to do that. Hayden Connor is going to be the guy that if he can, he could slide in there and do that. One guy we mentioned in pre-production was Trevor Goosby. Now, that's the red shirt freshman out of Melissa. He's the backup left tackle for Calvin Banks. We kept hearing about Goosby last year because he was the one offensive lineman in that class that didn't come in the spring. He was the one guy that didn't enroll early. And he wound up being probably the one with the most upside. And you get, we could see him yesterday and he looks fantastic. Everything we had heard and reported is accurate on that guy. This guy looks great. And so I think there's, there's a, there's a, there's a scenario where he could get some run at right tackle, even though he's the backup to Calvin Banks at left tackle right now. You mentioned Cole Hudson. Ideally, if this is going to be a, if the past blocking is going to be the most important, it almost feels like Hayden Connor has to be at right tackle early on. And Cole Hudson has to be at left guard. Not to mention, Cole can also do different things. He can play center. He can play right guard. He's interchangeable. But I, Ian, who do you think gives them the best chance to win the SEC at right tackle in 2024? Well, Cam Williams, I think, I mean, he's just got the most of his upside might be, you know, like early around draft pick eventually. Yeah, I don't think he's, I don't think he's there right now. But like, man, get him comfortable like 340 330. I don't, I don't know exactly how, how low. I don't think he's been 330. He's going to be big, right? But, don't get as a 400 pounder. So, yeah. Yeah. How much do you think he actually weighs now? Do you think 365? I'd say 360 360 is range. I think Sudiers 370. I think he's, he's probably a couple buckets of chicken underneath the deer. And so I'd say probably 360. I think then like 350 or less would be good. Yeah. I think that's ideal. You have Ian, he reminds me, yes, that run of Oklahoma tackles like Phil Lodehol, who were just gigantic, not great past protectors, but between their size. I mean, you couldn't bull rush them, right? And you had to run around them, which in and of itself gives you a little bit of time, right? And also they got pretty adept at holding and pretty, the old big 12 officiating just didn't really call it very often. So that model allowed Phil Lodehol to grow into the job and actually get better at past protection. Now, ideally, we'd want him to become Trent Williams, but Trent Williams is his own unicorn, his own beast. He's still the best tackle in probably the NFL. And he's what 12 year veteran now or something ridiculous. But I think that's, I mean, his upside is a run blocker, cannot be overstated. And when you have a guy out there, right tackle, who can fold down an entire like cave down, an entire part of the defensive line, that cuts off all the backside pursuit, right? And if you're tight end can get out on the smalls in space. Jaden Blue's going for 70, y'all. Like, it creates a massive big play running game potential. And defenses are just, there's no, you don't have enough fingers to plug the holes in the dam, right? There's just leaks everywhere. And that's the big upside for Cam that's so bewitching is, so we just said past protection is the most important thing. But if he's just good enough at past protection and dominant at run blocking and just man handling defensive ends, we're talking about, hey guys, in the college game, a big defensive end weighs 265. He's a hundred pounds heavier and he's longer. It's just going to be made in first contact. It's the, it's, it's, it's the wingspan. It's the athleticism. It's all those things. You know, we, we think we know the best five, we think, and we know Cole Hudson is probably, we think, we think, we think, we probably don't, but let's pretend. We, and we, we probably think that Cole Hudson, if, you know, in my opinion, Cole might be one of the best five. But if he's not, he's your sixth man. He's your first guy off the bench. He's a, he's versatile and he can do a lot of different things. He's finally healthy. So I think Hudson's definitely the one who are a few guys, you guys are paying attention to after that first five, after that first six, that first seven, who are a couple of the guys that you want to hear more about in the spring. Ian, I would love to hear your thoughts on it, but I'm going with Paul first. And the excitement of getting my hand up and the politeness of it overwhelmed Justin. He's, ultimately the man's face taxes. He respects politeness. So yes, sir. I want to know backup center. I know that's not sexy, but Ian mentioned it. I wonder if Cole Hudson cross trained as the number two center is also our best deal there as well. I don't know. Connor Robertson, I think this is slated as the number two. And that's fine. I don't, you know, Connor can progress and be a good player for us down the road. I just want more opportunities to get Cole on the field or be prepared to get on the field. If Jake Major's tweaks his ankle and we got to hold him out for two games, I want a guy in there who can move the line of scrimmage who can, who also calls a smart guy and he's engaged. He's in his playbook. He's a guy who could call that line and do it with authority, right? So number two center actually is more interesting to me than you might think it might be. And I kind of hope Cole Hudson gets cross trained there. I can't do that by the way. He has done some of that center cross training before. Go ahead Ian. Yeah, I think he was the backup last year originally. And then he was injured by the time they got to Oklahoma. So it had to be Robertson. And not only that, Paul, but Majors is gone for sure after this year. Yeah, it has to be. It's been six or seven years. Right. So it's a, that's like a big building block of next year is who slides in there. Because you know, only so many guys can do it. And one of your better guys can do it. It just makes a big difference when you're building out the 25 line. Gooseby, I haven't watched him yet. So I'm curious to see him. He seems to be like the classic like, you know, a lot of times like the best tackles are the guys that come in undersized. And so they're rating is the little amount. And then everyone's like, well, you know, who knows, they got to get bigger. And then Paul like stabbed himself in the head with a fork. So he came in at like 270 or something, 280. Yeah, it's impossible for a 270 pound 16 year old to put on way who's six foot six. It's just impossible. It's hard for a 16 year old to get stronger. It's impossible. Well, you just pray to the gods and hope that something magical happens. He's that's right. He's no, he's up to 313. I was just classic, like Sam Cosby was like that. Connor Williams was like that. It's just so common. Like, I could, I don't need to list everybody that has ever met that description. But so I want to see him in action. I love the reports. I'd like to see where Nedo is and then Baker branded Baker. I wonder, I'd love to see him because when his high school film, I thought was like awesome. Like, I think he might be one of the better to my eyes prospects. They've signed in the last three or four years, like banks up there with banks and with Campbell. I mean, I just named the five stars. So kudos to my evaluation skills, but great job. Yeah. He really looks like a five star to me, for sure. And I'm also curious, like, what is play strength is like? If you could get on the field in 2025 at guard, if because like, because even after they lose banks, tackle could still be loaded next year. If goosby is what we think he might be. And Cam Williams is great this year and he comes back for another year, which you probably would. And then you got Brandon Baker booking and both behind both of those guys. You could, you could do that or you could also just play him inside a guard and bump him out. If somebody gets hurt, if he can, you know, if he's, if he's ready, play bookwise to handle all that. So yeah, I'm, I'm, Sark has definitely done that in the past or just started a guy at guard to get him on the field and move him to tackle later. Yeah, those are the main ones I think that I'm curious to see. The guys that figure to be prominently involved in building a 25 line when they lose, you know, three or four guys from this team, you know, we, we've got the, you know, last year, there wasn't a lot of freshmen making an impression. There were too many older guys, too many guys that came in and can come and things of that sort. This year, there are two freshmen I want to talk about that they could see the field. Ideally, they don't, but they could in, in, in, in, in honor circumstances. And, and this is going a little bit deeper, but Daniel Cruz at center, you know, it was, Ian was talking about earlier, Cole Hudson to me is the next center for next year, just because of his experience and his everything that he adds to it. Now Daniel Cruz could have an incredible freshman year, get stronger. He's already a big kid. He's, he's, he's pigeon toed at center because that's what he's going to do. And then you've also got Brandon Baker, the five star out of modern day, who is already, you know, showing some of his athleticism that a lot of these other guys don't have. Baker, there's a reason he's so highly touted. And so my, my question is, remain, this will be the last one about the offensive line. You know, what's the worst case scenario where we have to see freshmen on the field or we have to see Trevor Goosby playing is, or is that even a worst case scenario? If Trevor Goosby is getting starters tight minutes, because you have to think about these things. What was it? Six years ago, the running back room looked stocked two weeks later into fall camp. There's only one healthy scholarship back. Like I deal with what's the best and worst case scenario from both you guys as we wrap up online talk. The worst doesn't seem that bad to me. Like the worst would be, yeah, you lose banks and there's just some ceiling that's just gone. But it feels like they could lose banks. They could lose majors that maybe be like the two most damaging losses. And they just have a lot of athleticism and know how it's snapping the ball now behind them to where I just don't think they would crater. I mean, if everyone gets injured, then that's going to really hurt. But you just get in, that just is beyond the realm of likely fall. What do you think about best case, Paul? Best case, I just think that Cam Williams sees his right tackle, has a little bit of a rocky start. Michigan, that's going to be a challenge now early for that offense in general. That people are trying to, the Michigan's losses are on offense. They are devastated on offense. On defense, they're going to be as good or better personnel lives. I don't know if they're going to be as well. I don't know if they're going to be as well coached, but they are going to be a problem for people, including Texas. So, Cam Williams, we're going to learn some stuff about that young man and that game, because their defensive coordinator or their new defensive coordinator is the most blitz happy coordinator in the NFL. And it's all sort of, he sort of coached himself out of league over blitzing. And he had been, Martindale had been at the very top of the game for over a decade. And then he got a little too enamored of his own of his own stick. So, that'll be interesting. That's going to be a trial by fire. The best case, Cam Williams steps up. Yes. Hayden Plonner either steps up and elevates or gets beaten out by Paul Hudson. And we get, speaking of polling, Paul Hudson murders people in space on polls. I mean, we've got documentary evidence of this. Just a loser. Calvin Banks has not completely plateaued, guys. He's still young. He's still getting better. By the end of last season, he was a dominant run blocker. When before, he'd been okay or above average as a run blocker. He was murdering people. And then you could have a great progression from DJ Campbell, which should be expected in fact. So, the upside is everyone levels up that we're already counting on, and then some guys step up. And you end up within the year, Texas is the best offensive line or the top three offensive line in the country. And that is achievable. It's absolutely achievable if everybody steps up. Yeah. You know, another guy that I think would be great on the O-line is Andre the lawyer. Anytime you're in trouble, he's going to protect you. He'll be your left tackle. He's got your backside. He's your blind side, man. Andre the lawyer. Call him at 214-444-8808. He's located in Dallas, Texas. He helps everybody, including injured Longhorns, car wrecks, 18-wheeler accidents on the job injuries, wrongful deaths. Andre the lawyers, the man, if you're ever in trouble, you're ever in a spot, that's the guy to protect you. Give him a call. Andre the lawyer, 214-444-8808. One more. We got a few minutes left, guys. And we're going to go ahead and get to it. It's March Madness. And granted, Texas is a football school. And we love football off-season and in-season. But Rodney Terry and those boys were 10 minutes from a final four last year. Now, I don't see that happening again at all. But crazier things have happened. Last night, Colorado State beat Virginia handedly for that play in game. And so now, Texas faces Colorado State on Thursday. I believe it's Thursday in the evening. Paul and Ian, we were talking about it a little bit. What are your expectations there? And kind of Paul and I were talking about Virginia basketball and just how low that program has gone. Yeah. You had an amazing statistic, Justin, that Virginia, I don't want to bury it for you. Tell us, drop this back on us. Yeah, you know, I'm a big Bennett guy. I have been, especially after they've been knocked out as a one seed. And he had basically told his program, look, this is this is part of life to say you work. Since 2018, they have won six games in the NCA tournament. It was every game in the 2019 season. They haven't won a tournament game before or since. That's a seven year window. I mean, and you got to, you got to think, how long does a guy keep his job? You want a natty. So you built up some collateral there, obviously. But you can't get out of the first round for the next five years. Like guys, that's Virginia got in on reputation alone, but I was blown away by just the that that you win a national title. And then you can't win another first round game in a seven year window. That that's it's crazy. It's nuts. Yeah. Hey, three, four things, quick things. One, Ian was concerned about Texas playing Virginia and Virginia plays an incredibly weird, contrarian, slow down style that might affect us. Texas is at its most comfortable out and running, right? Let's run in gun and plan loose. No worries about that. Virginia was as Virginia was terrible. I knew they were bad and they're much worse than I thought. Colorado State had a great game plan for them. Tony Bennett is known for his defense. They spread them out. They put the ball on the court and not their point guard. The star of the Colorado State team through the year was their point guard who really did nothing in this game. They spread it out, gave it to secondary ball handlers and said attack the rim. And so they have a guy named Joel Scott, who's this is the kind of guy you get in the Mountain West and in college basketball. That's why you got to love it. Six, seven, about 225, 230, older, physically strong. He averages about 13 a game at 57% shooting. How? He's got a handle. And he's six, seven, 230 and he's strong and he faces up on people and he drives down to the basket and then has a little junk game in the paint just and he's that dude at the rec league that scores with just nonsense and then he puts his big booty in you and gets space and goes up and gets a layup. That's what they did. That's what Joel Scott did to them over and over and over. Colorado State does not have a traditional big. They don't have a post. They've got multiple guys. They've got me out. So we've got a six foot point guard at Colorado State who runs the show and then a bunch of guys who are six, six, six, seven spreading out the court and driving to the basket. And then of course, they'll flip it out for the open three. So it's almost a euro style of basketball. They despite what you saw holding Virginia to 42, that was about Virginia, more than Colorado State. Colorado State does not defend very well if you're offensively gifted. But they got a great matchup and the margin of that game was 25 points. 25 points is getting your butt kicked in basketball. It did not fully express the degree to which Colorado State kicked their butt. It was they had 14 points at halftime Virginia. They had 16 points at the 15 minute mark of the game. So it was just awful basketball. The ACC, by the way, might be secretly terrible. So something to consider when you're filling out your brackets. I like this matchup. Vegas has Colorado State as a two point dog. That's a tremendous amount of respect for the Mountain West who got six teams in the tournament. We guys, we saw San Diego State, a Mountain West team play for the title last year playing a slowed down version of what Colorado State is. Older, mature, strong physical guys spreading the court and attacking the basket. If Texas has a solution for that, whether it's our big boy inside, or whether it's DeSue or even Dylan Mitchell protecting the rim, it's going to have to be Mitchell. Colorado State is going to have real trouble getting those easy buckets. The main thing Texas needs to do is use its size, but not in a static way. Use the sock, use Dylan DeSue's size to get open three looks, to get open shots from 15 that Colorado State can't defend. Joel Scott has a 22-inch vertical. He can't get this guy. Dylan DeSue can get his shot off when he wants. And then when Texas can run, Texas needs to run. Put the pedal to the metal, get Dylan Mitchell putting on the little dunk clinic, get guys like Hunter who have frustrating hits. But the way to get him comfortable is to get the tempo up a little bit. So anyway, that's my two cents. I'll throw it to you guys. Yeah, I got it. I have a couple thoughts that I'd love to hear. Oh, well, hold on. Hold on. Ian's got some basketball takes. All right. Let me give a seat bill. First of all, Kyrie Irving. No, we won't go there. Yeah, you don't want to, Ian, don't lose all your credibility in five seconds. Glorified sixth man. So here's the thing I see with Texas. BYU brought that same style to the big 12 this year. You know, spread, pick and roll, tons of big versatile guys playing outside in. And they gave Texas fits when I watched them play Texas. They gave some other teams problems too. So I don't know if that bodes wealth for Texas versus Colorado State, although at least they've seen it. And they know, they know the vulnerabilities. What I've observed about Texas and people that have actually watched more Texas basketball this year than I have can correct me. But to me, this team seems way better when it's Abe. How do you say that guys name? Abe's Miss. Amos. Amos or Hunter. And then like Weaver, Cunningham, Mitchell, and then one of the bigs. And then they are long and athletic covering up all your perimeter guys. Yeah. They get steals. They get out in transition. Weaver is dangerous in transition. Obviously, we're as tremendous on ball defender. Like, gosh, just ball bait style stuff. Like, Royal Ivy, ask, like Weaver is, I didn't realize how good of a defender he was. When they have Hunter and, and, and Amos on the, on the floor at the same time, I don't think there is good. I don't think they compliment each other very well. Good point. Especially like, Amos is best with the ball. And Hunter is not really a catch and shoot guy. He's better when he has the ball. Yeah. You get kind of a, you get kind of a Luca Kyrie effect, where it's like, these guys would both be best when they had the ball in their hands. And you know, neither of them is going to play any defense. No. So it'd be better for Texas. If I think if they switch that lineup and I don't know if they're going to do that. So they might, it ties into what Paul's talking about. Weaver is, it's part of that offense that goes. You just go because he's so explosive and so athletic. And, and, and it's going to be interesting. Hey, Texas basketball is in the big dance. Listen, if they win a couple of games here, if they win the first round, and the team beside them wins their first game, we're talking about a Rick Barnes Texas rematch in round two with Tennessee. Um, I, I think that makes for outstanding content and outstanding youtubing. And it'll be good to watch. It'll be good. It'll be good for everybody.
