Has your wife been smacking you in the head with that pan Will?
 
That neck has to cook long enough to break down the connective tissue, same with shank, etc… but it has to be kept moist.

I’ve rubbed with oil, seasoned, rolled, tied and smoked them. Smoke a few hours, then braise covered in a mixture of beef broth, tallow, peppers in adobo, and limes, either in the smoker covered or oven. When that connective tissue starts to turn to gelatin, cut the roast up or shred it. At that point mix it back into the braising liquid and cook awhile longer. If done this way your tacos will be amazing.
