Not Many Solutions To Fix Our Bad OL

[Biopsyman]

Through 4 games on the season.. These are the issues.

1. Our Tackles can not handle a speed rush as all.
We don't have a suitable option to even try. Blair, Pair and Kendrick


2. Our Center can not handle a bull rush or make the right call on a inside stunt.
Solution: Let's see what Weisman can do..

3. One of Guards in right out of HS and is playing OK.. Jackson has not played in 2 years and looks confused due our LT's inability to handle the rush and tends to slide left on every passing play.
Solution: Sanders/Weisman

Can't expect any of the 15 class to come in and start other than Richmond at LT if he is flipped.

Bottom line....Of the current starting 5. Robertson is the only one that seems to be a good talent. Perhaps C Thomas in time, but the other 3 that have been waiting for years to play have been a disappointment and that is being kind.

One solution I think may work and open up the field a bit...call slant routes. I wanna see what any of our WRs do with a slant route with the pass hitting them in perfect stride.

Yes

Liquor is quicker.

OL is bad on our livers

They will redshirt Blair. We have some great new OL talent coming in 15'. We will be better next year and by 16' we should be in good shape.

 

[Biopsyman]

This sums up our OL

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

We are just going to have to suffer through it. There is no magic solution that will fix the OL situation.

 

[Biopsyman]

I have a solution.. It's the bye week for the Bronco's. Have Colquitt fly in and kick each member of the OL in the balls. That may change their results on the field

 

[rocketskates]

We will be fine. They need the experience. Be honest with yourself, if Worley had not have gotten hurt do you think we win this game today? I do, and I think we win by 10 points.

It's a positive change. Instead of predicting what quarter we will start hitting the sauce, we now predict that we will win games on here so just bear with it.

Also, they didn't do Peterman any favors calling those three step drop pass plays when Georgia was bringing the house. A swing pass or a screen would have done wonders, but hey I'm not a coach so whatever it's just speculation.

I thought they looked a lot better this week.

I agree that it was stupid having Peterman drop deep. If you need to throw the ball with him, for chrissake run short patterns and have him get rid of the damn ball instead of drop back deep and freeze.

Just run screen plays to Hurd all season, that way only one side of the line has to block anyway and the pulling guard and tackle can get up field and block smaller guys. It's genius, just trust me. :crazy:

 

[vol_sec]

Maybe a few more roll outs and draws to take compensate for the lack of experience.

Or, Hurd to quarterback...

There's only one way to 'fix' bad lines....especially when they're young. Some may be good later, but I want to see maybe 10-12 lineman in every class. That includes OL,DT,DE,LB. The better you are at all those positions, the better your team will be. And to some of you oversensitive little girls out there, I'm not forgetting skill guys....you still have to have them....but you have nothing without the lines.

Richmond is not flipping end of discussion.:hmm:

If he is taking 5 official visits (which he had said he would) then there is always a chance Mr Know it All. I am not saying he is coming here but any 17-18 yr old recruit that is still taking official visits should not be considered a stone cold lock. We don't always have to be like Jim Rome or Colin Cowherd with our "I am right and you are dumb for suggesting otherwise attitude."
