Why the constant bashing of the OL?

[sjt18]

It's sad that you can't wait for 5 of the very very few good players they have gone. If you honestly think they have better backups you're crazy (once again the backups are fan favorites).

If they don't... write off the next two years also because it will be flat out ugly.

But it isn't even about having "better" back ups. It has to do with guys playing from snap to whistle. I have never been sold on Bullard. I think the other 4 have very good talent. But talent isn't worth anything unless you put it to use consistently. Guys standing around blocking no one while guys they could or should have been blocking make plays... is WORSE than having a lack of talent.

Why do we say that some of Worley/Dobbs problem is partiall WRs fault dropping passes and running wrong routes, yet we always place 100% blame on the OL?

Maybe it has to do with their very ineffective performance against a bunch of former 2/3* players?

Didn't they look good against SCjr? Wonder why?

Good question. Probably has to do with inconsistency and maybe even them laying down against Bama. Who really knows? But if I am Jones and I have SR's slacking on a 4-5 team... I'd have to give the guys behind them a chance to show that they would at least give good effort.

Also Mizzu's OL looked good because UT's DL is horrible.

UT's DL is more physically talented than MU's OL. You just made the case that UT was outcoached.
