Is offensive line our worst position group?

[bonedaddy401]

And I feel bad asking because I had blind faith in them before the season.

Surprisingly corner seems to be right beind them.

Safety and rb have to be in the discussion

 

[Snog]

Yes

Close behind......rb.

Can't say safety right now because injuries are forcing what I knew before the season. The freshmen are bad *** but it was going to take at least 4 games.

OL and RB blow.

Move Dear to RB and then it's 100% OL.

When an OL has problems it's like a toilet that backs up constantly---"everything is ******".

On the flip side when the OL is great it's like a toilet that works well---"ok, well that worked like it's supposed to; nothing to celebrate".

Jackie Sherrill won a lot of games with a big, physical offensive line and mediocre skill position players. We've got the best QB and WR group we've ever had, and we're struggling offensively because of a weak OL.

Which falls directly on the head coach and his right hand man in charge of talent evaluation, recruiting, and OL coaching.

Mullen, the Spike Dykes of the sec.

One of the few things I think croom said that actually made sense but I heard him say once that he'd never been a part of a good team that had a bad OL.

Hijack: Worse LT - Rufus Warren or James Carmon?



It should be noted that these guys did all they can to help the team (by switching positions). For that, I applaud them.

I remember when JS was coaching and our OL would come out of the locker room in a separate unit for pregame warm ups. The crowd would always stand up and cheer more for them than any other group.

He always preached the game is won in the trenches.

Postgame comments always included "first I have to give credit to our seniors and the players who made plays"

I talked to my friend about this earlier in the season, any time you have to switch a player from their natural position (Carmon DT, Warren TE) to starting LT in the freaking SEC, your 17ed, no two ways about it.....

Rufus Warren gets beat as much as any offensive lineman I've ever purposefully watched. Martinas Rankin must be some kind of overrated.

Very true, which we seemed to have had ever since Mullen has been head coach.

Without a doubt. Lack of solid recruiting at the position.

We have a converted TE as our starting LT for the goodness sake!!! No other examples are needed.

I don't have a problem with using a converted te at tackle... See Eric fisher. I do have a problem with using a converted te at tackle that can't play the position well.

I honestly believe he can play the position, but he doesn't have the 2-3 years it would take for him to adjust.

I'm having a hard time understanding why Rankin isn't playing unless it's his option.

The simplest explanation is usually the best explanation. And that is that he's simply not good enough to get on the field for us this year. As bad as Warren is, he's apparently better than Rankin is right now.

Or he was in fall practice. I hope that gap is closing with every day
