Is it too early to say Huff has been vindicated? Safe to assume much of poor OL performance last year was due to Lake's fucktarded vision for an offense. Run blocking still needs some work but overall this is the best line play in years.
Yes way too early
Huff and the O line sucked under Petersen
Just be happy DeBoer can mask it until he finds a replacement
No sacks
The O-line was above average '16, '17, and '18 but was exposed against talented teams repeatedly.
This line actually has talent across the board and they are playing like it. There is no true freshman Nick Harris vs Bama type of scenario on the line.
Center is our worst spot by far and even he is decent.
Huff is earning his paycheck right now by virtue of having a good line. How much of that is Grubb and DeBoer we really can't know.
I don't blame Huff for 2021 because the scheme was AIDS, but again his line sucked and therefore so did he
I've been more pro Huff than most but I don't think he's vindicated yet. Pass blocking looks good but sacks are a QB stat primarily, Huff isn't the reason Penix is great at feeling the rush and getting rid of the ball. Run blocking is improved but not great. And he has gotten his ass handed to him in recruiting of late.
I didn't think the line issues last year were his fault. I'm not ready to give him the credit for the line improvement this year just yet either. I think scheme has had way more to do with it than Huff both years.
I will say Huff recruited these guys and for that he should get credit. It's a talented bunch at the top.

I'm in LIPO mode with him right now.
Yep. His recruiting upside has really been a mixed bag and his units have been shit until the last 4 games.

Good takes. Watching DeBoer/Grubb stand at the chalkboard drawing game plans like Matt Damon in Good Will Hunting so far this season has me a lot less stressed about Huff. Huff either a) sucks and those two autists will throw things at him the rest of the year on Sunday mornings or b) he’s capable of coaching the scheme the way they want. Until we go to the desert and score 7 after dark and Penix gets broken in half while we average 2.3 YPC, I’m in full Doog/trust the coaches mode on O.

Sounds like I just made Race's "it's never about the assistant's it's the HC, stupid" argument for him.

Race Bannon never said it better than when he talked about how Kent Baer had the Pac-10's worst defense three years in a row, but when he got fired and Willingam/Emmert hired NFL assistant Ed Donatell for 2008, and suddenly Donatell becomes the worst coordinator in college football and the Huskies finish last again in the Pac-10 in defense (plus 0-12). "It's always the head coach and never the assistants -- it always starts at the top" became a life lesson for Stalin.
Get Connerly back from Oregon and we can talk about another year
Also LIPO
The problem with Huff is that it wasn't just Jimmy that he sucked under. We? can easily blame Jimmy for recent recruiting failures but the goal line blow ups go back to Auburn and before when the head coach was pretty good

In the weekly press conference when speaking of zero sacks of Penix, KDB publicly acknowledged the kids playing on the line, Penix himself for making quick decisions and Grubb for calling great plays. Is it telling that Huff wasn't mentioned? It's telling me that he's not in the top three reasons why the line has improved.

Also when Wilcocks became DC with our high powered Sark offense we were set to roll
