musicitytiger 281 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Think there will be any kind of shakeup this week? If my memory is correct, Gus usually waits until our first loss to shake up the OL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arkansas then Southern Miss is a good time to work in new OL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToomersStreet 795 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 It's our weak point right now. I wonder if Gus parts with Grimes at the end of the year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know that you can pin it on Grimes honestly. We all knew OL and Secondary were our biggest ?’s and we’ve really just seen how damaging it is.

I just do not believe Grimes is up to recruiting the caliber linemen we need to win a NATTY. Gus needs to find a Garner equivalent for a o-line coach.

AuMarine 1,372 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Online was the one big ? Coming into the season and they are still the weakest link. The lack of blocking and getting beat on several plays was inexcusable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dual-Threat Rigby 8,641 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 We need to be like UGA and UA and shell out whatever's needed to get top of the line OLinemen. They get 3 Bradens minimum each recruiting class. We get one every 4 years (I guess Ashley was supposed to be of that tier, only the lord knows what happened to him). I knew it was gonna be a bad look when Kaleb couldnt find any snaps anywhere with the sometimes abysmal OLine play the previous 2 years, and he's really just bad at his job. Nothing personal at all, but I was depleted when I saw he made it past the first quarter in this game. Brahm must've broke his entire chest frame to not be a better alternative at this point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you can put any blame on Grimes for the past recruiting. He came in way too late to affect recruiting in any way. Place that blame on Gus and Hand. Grimes is a very good OLine coach. We have to let him prove or disprove his ability to recruit again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnphan 6,050 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 I think most were expecting Brahms to be starting this week, kind of surprising that he didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Center is so crucial for us, and we are not getting the kind of play needed. I thought we would see improvement from Kim. We may have, but his two holding penalties were killers for us at critical points. People who believe that we took our foot off the pedal should consider the timing of those penalties and the breakdown in pass protection in the second half. I don't think we took the foot off the pedal so much as it was removed from the pedal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It remains to be seen how much of an improvement he may or may not can be. He was reportedly ahead of Kim during the Spring and if not for the injury would have likely been the starter from game one.

Barnacle 9,064 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Is there a (good) site that grades out out linemen each week? I don't know squat about the o-line, other than they are struggling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerbrotha12 2,362 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Think we outta start Brahms and Ashley next week in place of Kim and Horton. Those guys were not great yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If memory serves me he came to Auburn because of the Aviation school. We need to see if he can fly this plane too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
