PC Games » The Oklahoma Sooners have fielded one of the most potent

offenses in college football over the past few seasons. In large part that is fueled by Lincoln Riley’s high-octane offensive scheme Cheap Dexter Lawrence Jersey , as executed by Baker Mayfield and Kyler Murray. Over that period, Oklahoma has also never wanted for talent or athleticism at the offensive skill positions. But leading the way for all of it has been Oklahoma’s talented, and veteran, offensive line. The lack of defense played in the Big 12 is an easy explanation for Oklahoma’s success, but their offensive line deserves to be recognized as one of the best in college football. Over the last three or four seasons, the Sooner line has deserved to be mentioned in the same breath as that of Wisconsin or Alabama. However, because they run a wide-open offense and seldom use Pro Style blocking schemes, Oklahoma’s linemen don’t get as much regard around draft time. This year, that should change. Four out of five lineman have declared for the draft, with several already being looked at as potential early-round picks. Ben Powers, Oklahoma’s right guard, might not be one of those when all is said and done. But even so, he has the talent to help an NFL offensive line if he lands in the right situation.

Powers’ frame, arm length (34 inches), and (no pun intended) power-based game could appeal to Dave Gettleman. Thanks to the presence of Will Hernandez, the Oklahoma guard would have to move from left guard to right, but he should be able to make the change as long as they commit to it from the very beginning. Powers is a capable pass protector against most interior rushers, but he can get exposed by more athletic defenders (such as Quinnen Williams in the Orange Bowl). Likewise, he has some stiffness in his lower body which limits his foot speed and limits him as a puller and in zone schemes. However, when he is able to block downhill, establish a wide base and good leverage, he is a people-mover up front. Powers doesn’t have the ceiling or versatility of Oklahoma right guard Dru Samia [Prospect Profile] but in the right situation, on a team which has a plan for him, he should be a functional lineman at the next level. Jason Witten is returning to "Monday Night Football" in his more accustomed role as the Dallas Cowboys' tight end and not a television analyst for the ESPN production.For those wondering?The 37-year-old will not be wearing a microphone during the network's prime-time coverage of the matchup between the Cowboys (4-3) and the fading New York Giants Men Dexter Lawrence Jersey , who are 2-6 and riding a four-game losing streak.Witten didn't know if ESPN asked to have him miked for the game but wanted no part of it. He said he has done it before and he didn't like it. The mike felt strange over his shoulder pads one time and the other time he played poorly.So no more. It's back football, and only football.Witten's focus this week is to help the Cowboys build off their big win over the Eagles two weeks ago. A bye week followed the victory, which put them back in first place in the NFC East after three straight losses. Seeing former ESPN co-workers Joe Tessitore, Booger McFarland and Lisa Salters will be fun, but he is also trying to keep his emotional level in check."It was a good time in my life. It really was," Witten said of his television work in 2018. "I enjoyed every moment of it, working with those guys, but I'm also very appreciative of being right where I'm at. This is what I wanted to do. I had an opportunity to play. It's a good group of guys. I'm amazed at how hard they work and how talented they are, but I'm right where I need to be."Giants veteran defensive back Michael Thomas laughed when asked if Witten had lost anything working a season in the television booth, noting Witten beat him for a touchdown in the Cowboys' 35-17 win in the season opener."There are a lot of offensive players who are retired that are coming back, saying they can play in this league and I don't think that is by coincidence," Thomas said. "The way this game is right now, there's a lot of players who think: 'I got maybe three, four Youth Dexter Lawrence Jersey , five more years.'"Witten knew he still could play in the NFL when he retired after the 2017 season. However, ESPN offered him a unique opportunity to work on the same broadcast that once employed Don Meredith, Frank Gifford, Dan Dierdorf and John Madden.After a year, the urge to play moved him back into the game."I don't have any regrets because I think I'm better because of that experience," Witten said. "But I do think there were moments throughout that I thought, something inside of me was just like, 'I should still be playing football. I have more to give. I have more to give.' Maybe that opportunity forced my hand. If I could go back, I would say just trust your instincts of, 'You'll get other opportunities. You'll have things."Witten has played well this season. He has 26 catches for 263 yards and two touchdowns. His reception total is third on the team, and the TD catches are tied for second.McFarland is looking forward to seeing Witten in the production meeting and commenting on a game that will have someone whom he considers a friend playing."It's going to be fun," McFarland said. "We talked a lot of the game while we were preparing for 'Monday Night Football.' I'm definitely prepared to see him try to block some of these defensive ends and then when he gets out there on the pass route, I am just going to see how the old body is moving."McFarland quipped criticizing Witten would not be a problem.Witten has had some huge games against the Giants. He had a club-record 18 catches against New York in 2012, an NFL single-game high for a tight end and tied for third overall in league history. He is the Cowboys' career leader in receptions (1 Color Rush Dexter Lawrence Jersey ,174) and receiving yards (12,678) and is playing in his team-record 16th season.Giants tight end Evan Engram isn't surprised Witten is doing well after a year off."You have to look at the type of player he is," Engram said. "He has never been that speedy, explosive, athletic guy. He has always that big body, knows how to use his body and find zones and how to get open."Witten isn't thinking beyond this season."One thing I told myself when I made this decision, kind of telling you the first time, if I did regret it, when I go back in, I want to stay right here," he said. "Don't worry about what's next. I think a lot of people say that in their lives. It's harder to do that and really live it out."AP Pro Football Writer Schuyler Dixon in Frisco, Texas contributed to this report.
