Offensive Line - Right Side

[Bluehio]

How many sacks and/or turnovers have happened from Malachi Wood getting outplayed tonight?

Coaches need to recognize the weak link and accommodate, as its been there all season. Hes good for 1 penalty a game + countless defensive breakthroughs all year.

 

[BlueBloodKyFan72]

Wood has been terrible all year

 

[The Nightman2]

Its just like the Bama game. Have to keep extra people in protection kills you. Boyer looked good in 1on1s pass blocking. Hes light but can move his feet. I say move him lol

 

[Pensacola_Cat_Fan]

Let’s hope Wood transfers out. He’s terrible.

 

[seccats04]

Yeah I don’t understand why we weren’t better prepared. Wood struggles against a good pass rush and UT has been elite on D all year. We never adjusted all night.

 

[bigblueinsanity (the real)]

Wood is fine. One sack was clearly offsides and the qb can't fumble on a weak sack.

The other stuff is just a numbers game Sloane didn't help because he flinched just like he did vs bama.

You can tell when an oc flinches because he kept calling garbage screens.

We weren't watching the same game then. Just like Bama, we had to keep a tight end to block on the right side. If Wood was left 1on1 he was getting beat.

You're right because Woods waa terrible he was getting beat all night. I can't there isn't somone better on the bench.

 

[Battle_Cat]

Wood was owned all night tonight. If they dont line a TE up with him, it's pretty much a jailbreak on that side. It's on film, teams are gonna keep loading up that side so we better solve it asap or the magical season is gonna end badly.

He's definitely the weakest link on the ol but he is still fine. We can't expect to have five aas out there so its up to the oc to manage the talent we have. This game and bama game Sloane did an awful job.

Qb has a job too. If we're outnumbered, he has to slide pass pro. Too many times tonight that didn't happen.

Finally the one sack that everyone remembers him giving up because it turned into a fumble - the defender was offsides by a mile. Also minchey just gave up the ball without even much contact just like against bama.

RT is most definitely not fine. If you have to keep keep people in every drop back , its an issue. Wood has to be among the leaders in pressures per snap given up. I wasn't even thinking about the snap. Its every 1on1 he has. He cant move his feet.

LSU has one of the best edge rushers in cfb. Wood stopped him all night.

Here is the play everyone remembers him getting smoked. Another embarrassing miss by the refs but no one can expect a rt to reach a blitzing db that has a running start and is a mile offsides.

 

[K_TIME]

Refs were clearly letting Tennessee play a different set of rules than Ky. 5 holding calls to none on Tennessee Oline. Made up penalties in FG that our edge blocker was not on LOS.
Tennessee was better team but those calls negated Ky drives that were not good enough to overcome

Definitely a bad missed call there. You know this isnt the offense Stein envisions running. When Boyer is so important to the offense because of his pass blocking , I think that's a sign. All the quick throws, screens, etc. Idk with Wood. Maybe hes a little too heavy, but we cant trust him on a 1on1 . Its instant pressure.

 

[seccats04]

We don't have many good WR's anyway so line up Boyer every play next to Wood to help him out. I'd rather have Boyer on the field anyway and you can let him sneak out every now and then. We never fixed the Wood issue in the Bama game and that was disappointing too.

Last several times stein faced Knowles as the play caller, his offense fared well. Sloan is just not an elite play caller. There are several ways to help your ol against a pass rush and vs bama and ut sloan did none of those.

UT attacked his side because he's definitely the weakest link. Playing ot in the sec is hard enough but its way tougher when you get no help from your oc.

We needed to keep a TE to cover Wood and a ton of empty backfield is hard vs Tennessee as they crowd thr LOS

To me…our missing pieces is better outside WR to make teams pay for putting safety in the box. Darby is more of a slot wr…so upgrading Miller outside thr hashes will open up Stein offense

Wrs indeed weren't playing great. I agree on a wr1 because Anderson isnt it. Miller is ok but he isn't it either.

Given their man cov, I really don't understand our lack of mesh or other rub concepts to get open. We hit it once with Darby but never consistently ran any real man beaters.

The other element is the qb. Missed the shots we had open. Needs to speed up his clock just a tick and run. If they're bringing pressure, you cant hold the ball 3 seconds. He hates to run and elite dcs just aren't afraid of him.

After the bama debacle, teams tested us with similar pressure and we made them pay. Im sure we'll see it rest of the season based on our lack of response last night. Hopefully we respond.

I missed that last night and thought wood was just so damn slow from the snap but TN defender jumped well offsides before the snap. That was a pivotal play in the game as we were 3rd and 8 at midfield down by one score. That started the slide we went into. Officials cannot miss a call like that and most likely was t a miss rather a let them get away with it. Think TN got one single penalty in the 2nd half last night. Officials clearly were watching us more closely than UT. BS but is what it is. Eff the SEC hierarchy.

He gets beat 1on1. What do you think the screens were ? The short throws? I think the play calls were fine, considering we didn't have time to throw. Couldn't get the ground game really going with Baxter still not 100 percent

Attempt to steal yards like we have all year. Knowles adjusted by walking a linebacker out to blow it up. White does the same thing so we will see it this Saturday too.

We just never adjusted to it.

I keep seeing people making excuses for us last night. Still harping on the referees. The game I watched had nothing to do with officiating. It centered on Tennessee physically whipping us on the line. They were the more physical team and they didnt make stupid mistakes like we did. Everyone is dogging Wood when they should be dogging the entire O line as well as our weak receiving corp which got pushed and bodied of their routes regularly by TN secondary. Tennessee is better than us pure and simple. They have the best defense I have seen this year. Let's own it and move on instead of making lame excuses.
