Kevin Carberry enters his fourth season on The Farm in 2021 as Stanford’s offensive line coach and running game coordinator.

In his third season, the Cardinal run game finally began to take shape behind a retooled and healthy offensive line. Stanford started the same offensive line combination in all six games, a welcome development following Carberry's first two seasons.

Senior center Drew Dalman anchored the line, earning first team All-Pac-12 recognition. Walter Rouse also earned honorable mention All-Pac-12 honors from his left tackle spot.

The Cardinal scored 15 rushing touchdowns in just six games during the 2020 campaign, a marked improvement from rushing for just eight touchdowns in 12 games during 2019. The Cardinal as much-improved on third down (48% in 2020 vs. 39% in 2019) and red-zone offense (78% TDs in 2020 vs. 47% TDs in 2019).

In his second season, Stanford started six different offensive line combinations, losing three week one starters to season-ending injuries. Four true freshmen started at least one game, including three for each of the final six games of the season. C Drew Dalman led the group in starting all 12 games to earn All-Pac-12 second team honors, while RT Foster Sarell earned honorable mention after starting 11 games.

Freshman LT Walter Rouse played in all 12 games and started the final 11 after All-American Walker Little was injured in the season opener. Barrett Miller started the final eight games of the season at left guard and Jake Hornibrook the final six at right guard. Branson Bragg also started a game at right tackle before suffering a season-ending injury.

In his first season at Stanford, the Cardinal boasted two All-Conference performers on the offensive line, as Walker Little took first-team All-Pac 12 honors while Nate Herbig was a second team selection. Herbig signed with the Philadelphia Eagles as an undrafted free agent following the season and was on the Eagles 53-man roster for much of the 2019 season.

The Cardinal offensive line was riddled with injuries throughout the season, as Carberry was forced to employ eight different starting combinations throughout the season.

Carberry spent the 2016-17 seasons as the assistant offensive line coach with the Washington Redskins and the 2014-15 seasons as an offensive assistant with the Dallas Cowboys.

  Perhaps no one here does. But Snead/McVay sure do.

  I have to believe the Rams continue OZ schemes with their type of RBs

  So essentially a versatile player. But isn't that what all teams want?

PHDram345April 24, 2021 07:32AM

  Perhaps, then, the issue is being a good pass blocker first
