Wouldn't help the two that don't like contact. Only a mindset change will help this line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmartin3228 117 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Goodness gracious, I knew Oline was bad but that clip WOW. Backs literally are surrounded at every angle at the line of scrimmage. No cut back lanes or anything . I will say this , I think our Dfense is giving up more 3rd down conversations because PA isn’t playing “Down for my hitters”clean by C-murder anymore .

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. you make a lot of sense my friend! I was watching specifically the OL most of the game and it looks like they are playing on their heels moving backwards like what you are saying. I am not coach and have limited knowledge of the more in depth skills the OL must have to be effective in moving DL out of the way instead of in the way of the runner. Bigbird, am I right with my assessment? I know you are a coach and see things a lot of us novice arm chair O-linemen miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sevenlee36 1,654 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 But to be fair I don’t think there is a position on offense that we couldn’t create one of these cringe tapes. Except maybe WR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKIPPER_01 99 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 So is it still possible to move Horton to center? I know it has been mentioned on here before. Is he better at center than guard? Why is Calving Ashley not playing? He's not worse is he? JB Grimes needs to get on some butts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may know his assignments, but he's not executing for whatever reason. The coaches had a short lease on Kim once Brahms got healthy. That needs to trickle down across the whole OL.

doc4aday 1,887 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 We have Prince Sammons, Brodarious Hamm, Austin Troxell, Tashawn Manning, and the 2 freshmen linemen. Are any of these an improvement to what we have starting? Just some honest questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This season is a culmination of a series of misses going all the way back to Martez Ivey. Don’t let Golf forget that he was supposed to be the bagman then. Horton was the backup plan to Ivey tbat we secured on NSD. They have been a priority for years. We are just losing the battles for them. Look at this year. Morris should have been the #1 get... and we lost him to a team that is worse than we are... Think about this: we are starting a project and a transfer at both tackles and they are the best players on the line. It all goes back to recruiting.

And the tackles are hurt. It is almost laughable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has become more and more concerning as the games ticked by and now it's game 6. We're in a world of hurt unless we can find 5 guys with the necessary ability and find them fast.

doc4aday 1,887 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Let's take the coaches hat and put together an OL that we think might solve some of our problems........ 1. Horton at center 2. Ashley at guard for Horton 3. Sammons at tackle for Driscoll 4. Hamm at guard for Harrell. 5. keep Wahnagoho at tackle would be worth a try!

SKIPPER_01 99 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Ashley/Irvin/Troxell/Stutts/Hamm Avg. Weight is like 320. I'd be telling them to get ready. I don't understand why they aren't playing. Are some of them trying to redshirt? I'd be burning them or at the very least get 4 games out of the true freshman.

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. But he’s had several weeks of spring ball, summer “voluntary” workouts, and the same fall camp and 5 games that every other team has had to break those habits. It’s not brain surgery that should take years to learn. Its blocking, which these kids have been doing since they were in grade school. With hundreds of hours of practice and several games, it should look much better than that. That’s a God awful product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BJCrawford 1,568 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Ok I feel like a broken record....but why did the offense look so much worse against arky and southern miss vs LSU and Washington? This is not an argument that the offense is good but why weren’t we obliterated in those two games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
