If they only have 0.5 seconds to throw the ball before they are swallowed up by the defensive line. Tom Brady in his prime couldn’t do anything with this terrible offensive line
It doesn’t matter who our quarterback is

And who's fault is that? Who went out and got a new OL after last season, saw that they sucked in the Spring, got rid of them and got a new OL for the Fall, and they suck too?
And that’s why we need a different scheme here. Unless you can consistently have elite pass blockers this style ain’t working here. Run something like vandy or Georgia tech or navy.
I’m sure it was Lebby. That’s on him. I’m just saying we can all b!tch and moan about Shapen vs Taylor, but to be honest, until the O line is much, much better, it won’t matter.
Some of that you know you aren't going to have but 2-3 seconds but yet we don't know to scheme around it. Screens. Quick slants. 17 me. We always hire these offensive guys who are dumb
Deep vertical passing, which is a staple of Lebby’s play calling, requires just that.
Due to the fact we can't block, even more the case for a mobile QB. Rollouts with run/pass option.
They haven't quit. They just aren't very good. This has been a problem all year. We went from defensive tackle U to this.
You can't scheme your way around a bad offensive line, you just can't. You also can't scheme around a bad defensive line on defense.
An average OL would work wonders with this offensive scheme. The fact is if you get decent OL play most any offensive scheme will work ok. If you get what we’ve got, none of them will.
Tell me you never played ball without telling me. Certain scheme ms are design for bad offensive lines, small offensive lines, big offensive lines, ones that can't pass block as well, ones that can't run block as well.
Plain and simple we don't have the tackles to throw the deep ball against someone who has a dline that can rush the passer. Lebby lived off of the deep ball this year not enough mix of mid range and runs.
Average OL you mean like Tennessee has? Since we run the same offense and everything. You’re saying that if we have Tennessee’s equivalent at OLine every year we’d be better, well, I agree with you. But I’m saying that’s not reality. I also dont agree with you that any offensive scheme would work and be successful with the same good offensive linemen or whatever if that’s what your insinuating. Our Oline averages 6’6” 326lbs. Navy’s Oline averages 6’1” 285. You tell me which Oline is better?
I was thinking of saying the same thing earlier. But I said **** it
I played a little, but I doubt you did with that statement. If you can't block a lick, nothing is going to work. That is fundamental football.
