And that is what makes it more troubling indeed. We landed some good transfers with 3 years playing time this year, but we cant hope for that next year with OL. So we have to get transfers that can immediately contribute, and rinse and repeat for the next few years, and a mix of some very talented freshmen. The good news is, we wont tell them they have a chance to start.....we will tell them they have to start cause we dont have any bodies left.
Still sickening to see bama's offensive line, and then see the five they brought in this past cycle. the top center, the two top tackles, the 2nd and 14th ranked guards. We thought the 14th ranked guard would have been our highest OL recruit, and almost an afterthought for them.
My hope is scheme and coaching will make a big difference in line play this year. That video of Nix play review that Bird posted, was just as much a review on scheme and line play, both of which were abysmal. It really is tough to blame Nix in many situations because both the aforementioned were so horrid he had no chance once the ball was centered.
