Talent and coaching are only parts of the equation when you play in the best conference in the country.Jaydennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7415996603985116861.post-22307498763697984122011-09-27T15:33:54.951-05:002011-09-27T15:33:54.951-05:00Unfortunately, it just takes longer to develop an ...Unfortunately, it just takes longer to develop an offensive lineman than it does a running back or defensive back. Good coaching helps, but it's going to take some time for these guys to gel. Ole Miss was penetrating into our backfield, but our coaches started calling plays like the statue of liberty that took advantage of their overpursuit. The problem against SC was that those guys are unbelievable athletic and were grabbing our running backs from behind.Dimonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7415996603985116861.post-40172453201017479242011-09-27T15:01:36.297-05:002011-09-27T15:01:36.297-05:00Great post as usual.

It proves once again that when you look at the good SEC teams, that they all build effective offensive lines. Our RB's and WR's appeard to have been upgraded via recruiting and much better position coaching. While I have criticized LS in the past, it's not really fair to take shots at him with this poor offensive line. Rogers would do no better behind this line. I still think this is a 6-7 win team / season.

Really hope those guys we have left can stay healthy and eat their Wheaties. We really need them to play like they did against Ole Miss, so the whole team can shine. We really need much more beef on the line. Go Dores!VandyPhilenoreply@blogger.com
