The Gophers’ Pro Day attracted NFL personnel with all 32 NFL teams represented. The Gophers is NFL development U.

This PJ Fleck press conference says it all about Gopher Football.

Did he mention that he is proud? That suit coat looks a little roomier than his usual. All kidding aside, nice to see the U well represented in the pros.
 



I’m not gonna look it up but we’ve had one top 25 finish where have we ended up each other year during PJ‘s reign? He’s very much average. There is hope that he’s trending up.

What is it about PJs OL that offends you? 🤔

The consistency with how inconsistent they are and how time together does not = a better Oline.

Average rushing yards per carry the last three seasons:

2022: 4.6 yds/carry 5th in conf
2023: 4.1 yds/carry 8th in conf
2024: 3.7 yds/carry 14th in conf

For a running team, when basically the Oline is so ineffectual you give up on the run, that's offensive.

Fleck's inconsistent O line play has been consistent from 2019 on (even then they weren't a dominant Oline).

Fortunately in 2024 Max lived up to the hype and the panicked shift to being a passing team (o-line wasn't much better there, but Max was) worked out - mostly.

With a RSF QB and a very new O-Line in 2025 and a history of Fleck's lines not starting out well or getting better over time, it my biggest concern for next year.

There are some really fascinating morsels to digest here!

— Max "lived up to the hype". Ummm... what "hype", exactly, are you referring to?

— "a history of Fleck's lines not starting out well"... Interesting! Could you elaborate? Tell us more about this history.

— "a panicked shift". Wow. "Panicked" is a really strong, emotional word. Can you pinpoint the moment you saw "panic"? I'm genuinely curious.

There are two lineman starting in the NFL. Ersery is a future starter and Cooper is likely to make a roster for a few years. I'd say that is pretty impressive.
