gr82b4au 5,568 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 I find it a little strange and ironic that the two places that we need help the most are the Areas that we are struggling in recruiting this year. Offensive line and running back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeholiday 132 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Why is always failures who are on TV telling us about how to understand the game? I just needed Chizik to start talking about discipline. Media is just rubbing it our faces having his as a commentator in our game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djg0017 726 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Am I crazy for wanting to see a two-back set with KMart and Boobee? Would be less predictable than what we have done to this point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what an offensive line looks like when you have high school coaches calling plays. This is not what an average SEC line looks like. I don't think it's historically bad the way many posters would make it seem. But this is a below average SEC line. Especially since their primary function (run blocking) is their weakness.

Zeek 16,660 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Chizik and Gus prove we have some voodoo here. Defensive minded coach has a terrible D with high scoring O. Offensive minded coach has an elite D and terrible O... it’s almost as if they think they know it all and meddle with their coordinators...

Maybe you are on to something? Is that news? Love Kam but he doesn't have the size to be an every down back. He has a valuable place in the offense but he is what he is. Whitlow is the main guy. However, how well the rbs perform is mostly up to this offensive line. Once they do their job the difference between good and great is up to the back, but getting to good depends on the OL.

I don't think it's fair to judge KMart based on this OL. KJ, KP, Tre, none of them would be able to run behind this line. To say KMart isn't elite or a stud is nearsighted, IMO. You don't go from almost 7 ypc to 3+ ypc in one year by adding strength and speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We haven’t struggled at the guard positions for a while. You can cover up for poor tackle play but inside pressure is the death of running and passing.

I think that the offensive line is struggling, the qb is struggling, and the penalties. Omg the penalties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUsince72 11,084 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Does the Auburn OLine ever put a hand on the ground (3 point stance)? That's part of the problem IMO. Much harder to run block from a passive 2 pt stance. I wish they'd teach the 3 pt stance again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He produced against consistently bad competition last year. Who must be related to him the way you are constantly going to bat for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDUBB4AU 5,123 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 I know someone posted it , but it is really surprising how AU played so wel at times against Washington and LSU , but can’t get much going at all today against inferior competition. AU plays to the level of competition at times . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
