Other than we pull our guards, a LOT, he is more or less correct. I forget which game it was but of the first 4 running plays we trapped in three of them (inefectively twice I might add - the FR Anderson made a nice block on his pull, Foster not so much ...) |

Much to agree with, and no doubt we gotta get better in the OL, BUT , it would be hard to count the number of times a RB missed holes, lanes, cuts, etc. this year, not to mention just being LATE to the hole. We absolutely must get quicker, hit the hole harder, and have more vision at the RB position. A great RB can make an adequate OL look great. A great OL cannot make an adequate RB look great. Course, I would have gladly settled for adequate this year.

Our rb's missed a lot of open lanes this year. Our OL whiffed a lot too. A lethal combination for us.

I guess my take from it is... It's not as simple as "fire Hiestand!"
It was a combination of a lot of things... Scheme, youth, injuries, circumstances.

A great read. I recall that was posted a few months ago, and some didn't like it because it defended Heistand, but I always figured Chad Clifton knew what he was talking about. Great to see the more in-depth discussion.  |

quick cutting ability. There were many, many times this year that if Poole took 1-2 steps to one side or the other he gets 6-8 yrds easy but he seemed to run into the back of the OLmen. If we can stay healthy next year I think everything will be fine in the Vol nation (i.e. it will evident we are on the right track).

I like Rivera as a receiver, but I'm not sure he's great at sealing the edge. That seemed to be a problem at times - or it could be my selective memory.

I mentioned the same thing after either Uga or uf. I don't think it's selective at all. |
