Our Lines need beefing up both offense and defense.
- Thread starter Mr. Potter
- Start date
Seems like Elijah Robinson is the next LJSR. Maybe he finds his way back to Happy Valley at some point.

So we’ve given up on Manny already? If so, that could be a record for us.

I thought they ran the ball very well to the left side today. Fashanu made a big difference. Should have tried to run left in the third quarter

Need at least one DT, and one MLB from the portal. Need to build stronger guys there.
I liked 52's play today, hot some penetration, MLB is an issue. Would have preferred to see king or buddin play today just to see how they looked at LB
Seems like they are recruiting more road grader types for the oline now not the long athletic ... see how it turns out with Trautwein working with them.
In the 2nd Qtr, they had Tengwall at LG next to Olu. Tengwall was playing RG for most of the 2nd half. Tengwall and Olu look the part and have backed it up with their play minus some mistakes.
How would we know? 5 o lineman in the last two classes I believe. That’s not much. For comparison both UGA and Bama brought in 8.
Going to the thing I’ve typed into the msg boards for 15 years now. We under-recruit OLine and DLine (headcount, lately talent too). We overdo it on TE’s, WR’s and corners (headcounts).
Yup as I said somewhere else in this thread or another, he needs to bring in 2-3 fire hydrant 2-3 star types for the OL/DL instead of so many WR /DB. I know it lowers the recruiting ranking but when you have 5 DB recruits every year, you are not keeping all of them so its better to bring a couple of Kevin Givens/John Urschel types who are a little shorter and let them use the redshirt and develop. Guys with a little lower center of gravity who dont get pushed off the ball as easily as the rangy guys they have been getting.
We would just have a bigger OL that can’t block.
when has Franklin shown a team with a strong running attack? Maybe with once a generation Barkley and McSorely? Even then we wondered why Barkley often had to stand still for 2 seconds after the snap.
Give me JayPa’s HD offense where LJ had holes the size of aircraft hanger doors to run through.
