things the ole miss-bamer game taught me

[windcrysmary]

1. you can't over emphasize good off linemen... that is the key...snead is not as good as he appeared last year but not as bad as he appeared yesterday.... an extra 1.5 seconds in the pocket and an occassional lane to vacate the pocket when neccessary can make all the difference in the world for a qb.... how many OL did they lose from last year?

2. I do not look forward to playing bama... we could wake up sunday with less players....

3. I can't remember seeing a qb with as little time to work as what snead had to deal with yesterday...

4. I hope Dan can sign at least (3) 4 star offensive linemen this year.....

1. Yes, though I still say Snead should be doing better under pressure. He's letting the rush effect his throws way too much, and he's often seeing a pass rush that isn't there. He needs to figure out how to stand in and make his plays. We lost 3 OL starters from last year, though we had a 6 man rotation, so we lost half of our rotation essentially. Scary part is we lose the other 3 after this season, so Snead will really have to learn how to deal with pressure next year.

2. Bama is definitely scary good. Right now, they are the best team in the country. Their offense is not spectacular, but McElroy is good given time, the run game is solid, and they get great field position due to that defense. They will score 30 points in most games simply because they don't make mistakes and they get to receive the benefit of their defense.

3. Yes again.

4. Yes again. That game illustrated to me again just how important line play is. If you have them in the trenches, the rest of your players look great, and you win a lot of games.
