[JohnDawg]

and who said we have a bad offensive line?? dubmasses!!!

 

[Fletch Fletcher]

Chris Relf: 3rd passing efficiency

Where are you getting these stats? The offical stats posted by the NCAA doesn't include Relf because they have a 15 attempt per game minimum.

I just placed him there because thats where he would go if he met the minimum.

 

[Daddy Rabbit Dawg]

at least not according to the official stats.

MorAN.</p>

 

[GloryDawg]

at least not according to the official stats.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Relf will be hard to sack. He is big and strong and when he feels pressure all he has to do is run and there is good chances he will get pass the line of scrimmage before he is dragged down.</p>

thanks.

[Maroon Eagle]

(by the way, well played)

JSU (I know JSU) had a hard time tackling him...most times three to four defenders to get him to the ground. I think the guy has the size to take an SEC punishment...

I think at the end of the year, it will be interesting to compare our overall rankings to where we finished last year. I think sacks allowed and total defensive sacks will be the stats to watch. Also should be interesting to see how much our pass efficiency changes. Does anyone know where to find out where we finished in those categories last year?</p>

 

[MrHooch]

chart last year, or maybe the last few years, as a way to have a baseline comparison?

 

[615dawg]

but not sure I can get the week by week data.

....equals a ****** offensive line, according to many on this board.

 

[615dawg]

with Dixon back there.

 

[DowntownDawg]

....if we weren't working with a short field all day. We only punted twice.

I am not saying our line is any good. It may be terrible, but how the football experts on this board can tell a terrible offensive line based on that performance Saturday is beyond me.

Relf will be hard to sack. He is big and strong and when he feels pressure all he has to do is run and there is good chances he will get pass the line of scrimmage before he is dragged down.

You must not have seen young Mr. Relf during the Croom Error. In fact, I believe his knee injury occured during a sack. It's all about the scheme.

That said, yeah, we're first in sacks allowed....tied with 30 other teams. And not all of them played Jackson State. I'd hold off on my excitement.

 

[615dawg]

whether the bare minimum is all they can do remains to be seen. We didn't show Auburn ****.
