Strength Program Has Issues - I believe a foundation of our problems.

[samuirocks]

I know people keep arguing about the play calling and talent.

While I agree that we lack creativity on offense and defense.

I think our biggest issue people are neglecting to point out as a foundational issue is our Strength program.

While we aren’t world beaters in recruiting, we have talent that should be more than needed to field a very competitive team.

But our offensive and defensive lines lose on their 1:1 battles constantly especially when it matter. They get zero push and have no strength to escape blocks. They seems to have the technique but without the strength needed to make it successful.

Yes, spot on.

Lilja was a loss for the program when he retired.

Maybe that's the problem. He's got them all wearing tiny shirts, so they think they are bigger and stronger than they really are.
