sevenlee36 1,654 Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Start using that NIL money. Whether we like it our not we are now the minor leagues for the NFL because of the NIL. That I believe was done because college football saw that there was a real potential threat for an actual minor league system to work because of the $$. (Don’t laugh but I think the second version XFL with enough time and money would have started pulling top high school recruits and would have made its self a “development league” for players wanting to go to the NFL and those players would have been $ paid. It would have in time become a real competitor to the college system.)To combat that they stripped the pay players rules. Now it will be about who has the most gold. Tradition, love for a school will be in the back seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icanthearyou 4,463 Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 What to do with the OL? I don't know but,,, the Malzahn/Harsin approach of nothing might possibly be a mistake. In the future, we may want to think of ways to improve the OL rather than consistently regress. I'm beginning to believe that the OL is fundamental to offensive success. Maybe? Does anyone else see this, think this is a priority? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPTiger 5,164 Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 How bad is our offensive line? Tank is 27th in the league in yards per carry. Jarquez is 28th. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e808 3,027 Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 The oline is pretty bad but it still seems u can scheme around them. There’s 2019 with wins over Oregon and Bama. Then u have 2020 which got u 6 SEC wins. In both years some better calls in key situations and u have even more wins. Last year mustered up 6 wins before BO got hurt. My question is the blocking schemes different or u asking them to do something that u know they aren’t good at but continually ask them to execute. There has to be something that can be done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has to be something that can be done. In 2019 none of these guys started. Our starters were Driscoll, Horton, Kim, Harrell and Prince. In 2020 our starters were Jackson, Manning, Brahams, Council and Hamm. There is a reason these guys have been on our roster for so long but haven't much seen the field (Council being the one exception). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icanthearyou 4,463 Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 After the film of the Georgia game, We should check their bank records. I get the feeling they are betting heavily,,, against Auburn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weagl1 1,784 Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 I just don’t see how they could possibly be this bad all of them are very experienced. If there were a bunch of freshmen in there I might understand but it does not seem to have anything to do with inexperience. I know some of them have had a lot of injuries in the past but if they are too hurt to play try someone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gr82b4au 5,568 Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 (edited) OL Coaching, schemes, and talent are the worst we have seen at Auburn in 40 years. There is no getting better this year. Edited October 13, 2022 by gr82b4au Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I know they are playing hard but they just are not talented. Also they do not play together as a group, and the coaching has been horrendous. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I respectfully disagree with this. There is plenty of video evidence of our o- linemen making little to no effort to engage a single defender, while their freshmen QB and talented running backs are being swarmed under. Their jerseys and helmets at the end of the game are as clean as the punter’s and kickers. I’ve never seen anything like it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That isn't really the question. The question is,,, how do they continue to get worse. I believe the answer is,,, coaching. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the answer is,,, coaching. Friend and Bedell are indeed AWOL as coaches. They both owe AU a refund as they’ve done nothing to earn their paychecks. But even that doesn’t explain 4th, 5th, and 6th year players allowing defenders to run by them untouched. Football 101 for the O line: put a hat on a hat.
