AuburnNTexas 7,134 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 If you have enough good O-Linemen you can rotate them constantly so that by the fourth quarter you worn out the other teams defense. Look at LSU and Georgia this year. Georgia D-Line dominated in first half but eventually LSU O-Line wore them out then stomped them. Georgia had a great D-line but last year they were basically one deep hence they did not do as well in the 4th Quarter. You can never have too many big uglies on either the O-Line or the D-Line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockfordpi 91 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I don't understand why we are recruiting Garcia since we now have numbers on the OL. It's apparent he will have to sit out this year. The only thing i can think of is there must be some doubt in the talent we already have. Because him, Robinson, Mack, Dismukes, and Westerman would make one mean OL... I understand that but what about Young, Miller, Diamond, O'Reilly, and others who are mean OL as well. All those guys will be a year older before Garcia is able to play if he chooses to come here. Then if they're better, they'll play. Its a win-win You are right but i was thinking that that scholly could be used at a position of greater need next year such as at LB, DL, or safety. Don't discount the possibility that one or more of these guys end up on the other side of the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarEagle10 77 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I seriously wonder how many times Diggs has second guessed his decision. My guess would be ZERO times. He made his decision to be close to his family. I don't think his family has moved. Diggs said Auburn was a close second, and I think he was sincere. Sometimes we all do things for our families, but it doesn't mean we don't get a hint of regret in doing so. Emmit Smith admitted to buyer's remorse for going to Florida instead of Auburn. And yes, he did it for his family. It's natural for anybody to second guess their decision. It doesn't mean they'll change their minds. isn't Auburn about 130 miles and 2 hours closer to Pensacola than Gainsville? UF bought Emmett. That is why he went there. I had an uncle who worked for Gulf Power in Pensacola at that time. Mom Smith got a cushy job with them right after he signed with UF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUTUmike 79 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Just FWIW Garcia would have to sit out one year and then have two years to play two. I'd take him in a heartbeat if he wants to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YaBoyMaxWeezy 0 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 ^^^^^^^^^ I agree, I don't understand why there is even any debate on whether we'd take this guy. Apparently the coaching staff wants him (and we should support the best coaching staff in America....SUNSHINE PUMP) and the NFL is interested in the guy, so that is good enough reason for me. I'm sure the coaching staff has a pretty good insight on what our areas of need are with respect to recruits and scholarships availability.

AUWALT 10 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 What about two different OL squads to take turns on the field? Do we have enough OL guys for that yet?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rednilla 5,383 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 What about two different OL squads to take turns on the field? Do we have enough OL guys for that yet?? We have enough, but it might be another year before we start trying anything like that because of the number of true freshmen we have. I absolutely wouldn't mind having two full units, though, even if I doubt the coaches would ever do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertdale8 0 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 rather have a proven OL with two years, then an unproven DL,LB, S or whoever we would spend an extra scholly on for 4 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
