Patrick Paul

If he keeps playing like this, he most definitely will be playing on Sundays. He will be the anchor to our offensive line in The Big 12.

I think he will have fun with Rice’s undersized dline.

And so many blame the o-line for the QB’s poor performance! This o-line looked much much better than the o-line that Greg Ward played behind!

Paul needs to improve on knowing who to hit. He can block when he does.

He is the real deal… Holgorsen rarely uses true freshmen but I believe he started couple of games in 2019

Keenan Murphy did not do his QB any favors on Saturday. The same can be said for our RT.

Paul did everything you want him to do on the play, but he outweighs the guy by almost 100 pounds so not too surprising.

Is he allowed to tackle a linebacker? That’s what you think the NFL is looking for?

Paul is not good. He’s capable of becoming good due to his genetics, but he is not a good OT now. I think our biggest issue on the OL might be our OL coach.

His hands are inside and he just finished his block , not exactly considered tackling. Paul might be rough around the edges but he has a ton of nastiness that an O-Lineman needs

Looking for vast improvement in the running game today.

He is average. Our left side of the OL must improve.

Yes to both

Patrick has all the tools to play on Sunday. Give him some time. You can’t expect an N.F.L. O.L. just a few months in his NCAA career. He has that much potential.

It’s called pancaking the linebacker and yes that is perfectly legal and yes coaches love it

If we had an entire line of Patrick Paul’s our running game would be unstoppable. I’m a fan. He’s 100% legit.

Right now Paul is a fair OT who has potential to be a great OT. He still misses assignments or makes the wrong decision that ends up getting the QB or the play blown up. Basically, he is a raw talent with a great upside. But, you don’t get a shortcut to experience. I imagine with each game he will do better and better. Once he and his teammates get used to playing together, I think he will be a reliable OT that will give our QB and run game great protection. By his junior year he has potential to be an All-American.

I’ve noticed that he does struggle in pass protection and assignments. I do think he’s athletic enough to be all-around elite. Mostly because he can engulf defenders and drive them back on blocking assignments. Like a lot of our young linemen, 90% of the problem seems to be between the ears at the moment. Fingers crossed, a full season with coach Jones will get them right!

It’s just not fair to expect a kid with limited experience to play like a seasoned veteran. I am sure our coaches are well aware of his limitations due to inexperience, but you have to play to get the necessary game experience.

The New England Patriots like UH OTs. Remember Sebastian Vollmer?
