Who do you start next week at qb?

[CAReeves2010 627]

When a defense sends 3 and flushes the QB out of the pocket, does it really matter? I watched a freshman safety run right by our C and RG and sack Ashford today. Hard to work with that mess

[Tiger Refuge 6,662]

It really doesn’t matter with this terrible o-line. The QB’s should be given a pass at this point.

Grasping at straws but would having Brahms had made a difference (not saying we’d win obviously) having an experienced center couldn’t have hurt.

[ThurstontheWelshCorgi 576]

Ashford then implement the triple option and let tank and jarquez split 50 carries

Correction -- javar.. Johnson at qb + triple option and split between the trio 70 rushes.

Who’s going to block for them?

Block is a strong word.. If they can just sort of "get in the way" of the defense that should still be better than the current plan.

I don't think so with his knee problems

[jptiger 481]

It absolutely does not matter. Aaron Rodgers could be back there. Wouldn’t matter.

I’m not defending this dude or saying I miss him when I say this…but so many of us said the same thing last 3 years, the issue wasn’t the QB, it was the o-line. We are having very very similar issues we’ve had for the last few years with different QB’s. Same issues, different QB’s. Sooooo much of good quarterback play comes from good o-line play. Just average play would be better than what we’ve had. We have many many offensive issues but it starts with the same common dominator we’ve had for the last few years…o-line. 

Because We’ve had s***ty OL’s in those years, too. Gus shat the bed on OLs.

We could have put a practice dummy at RT today and accomplished just as much.

gus was still able to pound the ball down other teams throats game in and game out but today tank had 9 carries for 39 yards. that's brutal. I think the @ Clemson game was the only time we were not able to rush the ball although fortunately they proved to be a Natty team.

I know it would be a stop gap, but Will Friend should be fired tonight. He inherited a mess, but hasn't done a damn thing recruiting or coaching wise to fix it.

[johnnyAU 3,630]

I guess they are afraid to play Calzada because our OL would help him reinjure that shoulder. Better get a long snapper and put Robby in a 10 yard shotgun so he can get off a pass once in a while. 

[AUght2win 6,834]

Robby or Geriner. Both Freshmen. Go with a young guy.

[jptiger 481]

We are screwed.

Honestly, until DLs quit looking like a jailbreak getting after the QB, it won’t matter who is back there.  

[Dan-0 479]

As bad as our O-line is at blocking and protecting the QB I would start Ashford and hope you can get something going with the running game. Limit passing to screens, slants, and short passes with an occasional shot down the field. Our O-line can't seem to give any QB any protection at all. It is what it is.

[3rdgeneration 6,469]

Put Will Friend in at QB, so he can experience trying to quarterback without a line.  🙄

Excellent response!

[Dual-Threat Rigby 8,664]

They may not all have the same level of secondary play, but Ark, LSU, MSU, UA and UGA can all mirror what Penn St did with the pass rush (most of that list can do MUCH better) 

You might as well see what Robert looks like with a full gameplan. I still think the kid just makes too many back breaking bad decisions throwing that are overtly whiffs, but asking TJ to do what he did for the first 2 1/2 quarters of this game is asking too much out of anyone 

[Tiger Refuge 6,662]

It’s absolutely insane that there are guys on this oline playing this poorly. I mean I watched linemen literally not touch a defensive-lineman today as they went right f-in by them, untouched.

I don’t know how many teams we pounded it on in 2020, but there were not many

Be confident!  we at least can win 1 more game:  WKY

[33gles 496]

I say start the Oline staff at QB and RB, let them experience their failure.
