bigbird 60,509 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 We can't run and we don't have enough time to pass. That is not the backs fault.

AUsince72 11,084 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 I've already stated what I think the major problem is in two threads so I'm sure y'all getting tired of me. Set up in an aggressive stance instead of a passive stance and get low and leverage. Even on run plays the Offensive Line moves backwards, waiting for contact, instead of dishing out the contact.

Shift 350 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Wow. When you slow the film down, the weakness are very apparent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I recall of Grimes first trip to AU, this was a staple. He’s stated he’s having to coach out a lot of bad habits. We knew Hand was a liability, just didn’t think it was this bad.

Shady Hollow AU 64 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Would a hard snap count vs the clap snap give our line any advantage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wareagleguy 1,393 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 The problem is obviously that defenses are doing mean and illegal stuff, like twists, stunts, bull rushes, blitzes, and other unmentionables! Oh, and K Mart too! ? (Hint sarcasm detected in this post) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Eye 7 2,535 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Line Definitely not movingforward at the line on run plays. Also the play is taking way to long to develope. I personally don’t like pulling two line men leaves to much of your backside open. Couple that with the drawn out hand of 3 yards behind the line of scrimmage is a perfect environment for tfls. I understand why pro teams mostly for run from QB under center. RB is in the hole faster. Gus’s offense was a thing early on now defenses have countered with speed at the point of attack and they attack the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. And Auburn counters by waiting for the defender to make his move. So not only do they passively await the defender, these videos clearly show them whiffing as they bite on the move. I get that a bit more in pass pro. But that's how they run too. When Gus hires me as OLine Coach, I can promise you one thing on run plays.... My OLinemen will be beating the defenders to the point of attack, they will be lower than the defenders and they will have leverage. ...well, that's 3 things but it's 3 things more than Hand or Grimes coached/coaches. As for whiffing on a defender's move? That's just laziness or someone not studying film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle-1 3,821 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 God, that is pitiful. I'm sorry, but I would sit some of them on the bench until I found 5 that want to play football. I don't care at this point if it's five walkons. Some of it I am seeing in those clips is pure laziness. On one play The Right Guard got beat, before he got out of his stance.

If it is, maybe we can get some transtransfers from Jacksonville State or somewhere. That is awful! I didn't get to see the Southern Miss game, as I was traveling down to Florida for vacation. They are getting whipped literally by defensive lineman from a Conference USA team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
