Title: feeling slightly better about the O line Post by: BanditVol on October 16, 2018, 03:43:24 EDT Two deep from the interwebz, FWIW is:
LT 73 Smith, Trey SO 57 Niehaus, Nathan RS SO LG 58 Johnson, Jahmir RS SO/TR 74 Calbert, K'Rojhn SO OC 70 Johnson, Ryan RS SO 56 Locklear, Riley SO RG 75 Carvin, Jerome FR 76 Hall, Chance SR RT 51 Richmond, Drew RS JR 68 Tatum, Marcus JR I think Carvin has been doing fine for a true frosh, Richmond has reportedly improved and Trey Smith is still Trey Smith. I am cautiously optimistic that they will continue to improve. Still a long way to go, but played well against a good Auburn front seven, or at least better than they have. I hope Jahmir's injury is not serious. I did see Niehaus play quite a bit Saturday, didn't know who he was. :biggrin: Chance Hall appears to not have fully recovered from injuries, but at least he is experienced. :powert: Title: Re: feeling slightly better about the O line Post by: Tnphil on October 16, 2018, 04:23:45 EDT We better work hard on pass protection the week....Got a feeling Saban after watching Gitmo throw it all over the yard against Auburn is about to launch a lot of pressure....I'd put in some good screen packages this week to slow them down and I'd use them early and often.

I felt like pass protection improved quite a bit vs. Auburn, but run blocking was still atrocious. Some of that is play-calling and some of it is RBs who refuse to hit the right hole, and hit it hard. But a lot of it is the OL just not opening anything up. We averaged 1.9 YPC on the ground.

Ty Chandler was 3.1 ypc vs a very good DL. Still needs to be better for sure. OL has a long way to go, but are making progress. Title: Re: feeling slightly better about the O line Post by: LouisVOL on October 18, 2018, 02:52:10 EDT almost a law that you put your best OL at LT, but I would love to see Trey move to guard as a way to improve run game. I don't know the answer at LT if we did that, but Trey is a natural guard, and in all likelihood that,is his future at the next level. I think we would see immediate improvement in run game.

Yep...Trey's a guard but like you posted, who's the LT? Title: Re: feeling slightly better about the O line Post by: FLVOL on October 18, 2018, 04:50:14 EDT Yep...Trey's a guard but like you posted, who's the LT? fizzle it, i'll do it Title: Re: feeling slightly better about the O line Post by: LouisVOL on October 19, 2018, 03:46:26 EDT That would just invite the NCAA to town. Everybody knows you're going to the highest bidder.

Not true, I shut down Saban, for no other reason than I found him to be an #badword# Title: Re: feeling slightly better about the O line Post by: BanditVol on October 19, 2018, 04:24:36 EDT Not true, I shut down Saban, for no other reason than I found him to be an #badword# :clap: |
