This is what happens when your Guard can't handle a bull rush. (This is also worse than someone coming off the edge)

I can show you a play if anyone getting blown up. Interior DL and mostly pass rusher could pin their ears back and rush to a spot the last few years. 99% of our hand offs and plays occurred at the same mesh point. That won’t happen this year.

That's scientific. Professor Daniel Kahneman wrote a book called, "Thinking Fast and Slow". He creates an analogy of the way the brain works neurologically by breaking it into 2 systems. System #2 (Slow) is for learning new things, reasoning, following complicated processes, etc. System #1 (Fast) is instinctual, automatic, "Just do it". Playing football in the SEC in System 2 mode will lead to both more mistakes and more injuries, not to mention - chronic frustration. System 2 is for learning in the meeting rooms and practicing techniques, scheme assignments, etc. In the game you have to shut down System 2 and (if you're prepared) trust System 1. SEC football has to be played in survival mode, fight or flight, on the edge. Your brain in surrvival mode is wired through you nervous system to every fiber in your body. Not only will properly developed muscle memory allow you to get "in ithe zone" the brain's primary System 1 function (your survival) will likely keep you from injury. The key to getting into survival mode is simple. You just have to trust yourself and your training/preparation. Its scientific and even cavemen understood that.

No matter who plays what position, who is healthy and who is not, this team is gonna feel and look completely different than the past 3-4 years... I am excited to just finally watch the coaches and team play BALLS OUT till the whistle for four quarters and everyone is eating the same cornbread...

I've never seen anything like the injuries weve had the last 3-4 years.

I agree, but that is also where us having some WR's that need to be respected will pull and change the D's scheme instead of just stacking the box and daring us to run. It will continue to be very important to recruit some elite WR to balance things out.

Now that is a good point. I haven't heard anyone bring that up. Well done. Thanks for also bringing that to my attention.

Sorry, should have specified or used a better term.

What I meant by this is on a blitz usually what you try and do is have the DL player take a guy out of the picture such as the Guard and send the rush behind him. Smith has shown that he can stop this in the middle he has blocked two people at one time, multiple times.

That's what I meant. Sorry for the incorrect term.

This still isn't exactly right, though. Defenses usually blitz/attack gaps, not players. In most pass protection schemes, each OL is assigned a gap to protect or may be expected lend a hand with another if his assignment has no one to block (this is where delayed blitzes can catch OL off guard at times), but is primarily responsible for protecting a single gap and whoever attacks that gap. Usually defenses don't attack one gap with two players because then you're more likely to have one of your guys take the other out of the play and you make it easier for OL to protect.

I'd be interested in seeing what exactly you're talking about where Smith has taken on two guys in pass pro. He's a beast, so I don't necessarily doubt it, but that's not exactly something that is absolutely necessary for an OG to do if the unit as a whole is taking care of their jobs.

I always thought the dropoff in conditioning was the real culprit. But apparently, the practices are going to be even more physical and demanding this year. CJP said they're going to get the players used to being hit hard in practice-- even the QBs-- and not worry about injuries. It worked at Bama, so let's hope it works here.

He commented in spring last staff had too many on the ground which increases risk of injury. Mentioned can thud and still be physical.

Nothing too specific concerning Hall. Just comments they've made in their podcasts over the past few weeks that don't seem like they expect Hall to be back at 100% by camp and that they're not sure when he'll be ready to contribute again and how healthy he'll ever get.

Smith, Carvin, Kennedy, Calbert, Richmond.

Left to right. I’m pulling for that line to emerge in camp. At minimum, they would look great getting off the bus together.

Calbert making a breakthrough in fall camp and pushing for a spot would be huge. After Smith, he's easily our most impressive purely from a size standpoint.

I kinda think he's gonna need a bit more time to be in the discussion as a starter or one of our best 5, but if the light comes on for him this year then the guys in our backfield will be happy campers, for sure.

You writing a peer-reviewed article on the SEC? 😁

Good stuff.

Don’t sleep on Johnson. He’s really athletic tbh.

Ryan or Jamir? I like Jamir's upside...but idk if he's gonna be there this fall from a S&C standpoint.

I thought Ryan looked pretty decent in the spring game, though. I think he'll be a favorite for a spot on the inside if Smith kicks out to OT.

He’s up to 327 now too. He did say in his commitment that he’s “out to make it personal”. Time will tell

If Trey isn't at LT then who, pray tell, would we put out there. The OG stuff is silly.
Click to expand...

I do think OG may be his best position at the next level and it would be ideal to put him there but it is unlikely we have the luxury of having someone better at LT than he is so that is probably where he should play. And he is good enough he may end up at LT in the nfl so it's not like a detriment to put him there.
