Few players have taken a nose dive in their college career to the level that Trey has. He was ready to enter the draft as a true junior at OT and was easily a first day pick. After injury he comes back and looks like our worst lineman on the field for a majority of the snaps. Gets constantly best off the edge, doesnt seem to know his assignments. He'll be lucky to get drafted and I really feel for the kid.
Selfishly I hope this is mostly due to his injury and not coaching

He never looked the same after his injuries. I think the knee injury (and probably back, too) probably messed with him mentally as much as physically. I remember his reaction headed off the field after blowing out his knee and he was emotional about it, more so than the usual reaction you see from a guy. Tough break but hopefully he has a good degree and connections from school and can move on with life. Doubt he does anything in the league (I like to call it the league).

We saw regression across the board. The O line stood out but no one would have got a bonus last year if I was running the business

Hate to say it but even pre injury Adams was massively overrated.
I think so too. Definitely a good OL, but not quite as good as most thought. He always struggled with speed. I don’t think he was ever the sure fire first rounder pre injury.
Worried that Huff can recruit and not much else. We've had the worst passblocking in the league for awhile now.
If anything, these combine results actually make me feel like there's more of a chance Huff's coaching isn't a lost cause. Here I thought he wasn't able to do shit with a massive line full of NFL potential, but then the combine results demonstrate that your starting left tackle is almost as fast as my mother in law--pre or post hip replacement and your all-conference center makes up for lack of size with lack of strength (still a great player who will be missed, don't twist). It's no wonder dumb shit like guards popping out to block edge rushers was happening and the scheme was too complex to be reliably executed against pressure. "Line up and block this gap" is easy. "Well, if they're going to do x, we need to do this crazy-ass y to protect players a, b, and c from their physical limitations" is hard.
The concerning thing, then, is why was a guy like that starting at left tackle? Was it more seniority and loyalty crap or was there literally nobody better, in which case fuck us all moving forward.

A one year dip or another dark decade?
I don’t think he’s a very good coach, but it’s hard to judge these coaches when Pete was so involved with the offense.
