Feff Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Been watching some games from last year and two years ago and two things stuck out to me. First, man would it have been nice to have Clive Georges for all of last year. He was such a playmaker and deep ball threat that it could have certainly helped the offense. Second, the offensive line needs to look back two years ago and look at the kind of holes they were able to open and the result (all of those long runs by Santiago and Oliviera). The big play last year was sadly lacking and not due to anything changing with the running backs but the fact that the line failed to open the lanes to the second and third level.

What are everybody's honest thoughts about the OL this year? Last you'd have to say our OL was average, and from that average OL we lost the best one who was good enough to get some looks from scouts. We did have a number of injuries last year that is for sure , which didn't help. So is one more year of experience for the other guys and also being healthy and having more depth, going to be enough to overcome the loss of our best lineman to not only be as good as last year, but better? I'm sure hoping having more depth and more experience allows our OL to take a step forward this year. But given we have the same guys as last year, minus one, what really is our peak potential? On a scale of 1 - 10 is 7 really about all we can expect out of the OL this year? And I'm not saying 7 is horrible, it's above average. Overall our RB's as a group I'd say would be about a10 or as close to it as you can get, they just need a few holes so if our OL is at least a 7 we can probably make some hay with that. If our OL can surpass expectations and get to an 8 this year......our offense will be rolling! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feff Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 The line will have more experience, will be returning Cox from injury which should help, and have much more depth coming behind to push them and help to keep injuries from hurting us too badly. Everyone will have another year of strength training as well. We should, should, have a better line than last year even with losing Coe. If they can get back to the the 2015 level or above, this offense will be fun to watch. If they are like a repeat of last year than we'll be seeing a number of close games like last year.

I agree, the coaches I have spoken to all agree the o-line is better than last year. Combine that with studs and the triple threat in the back field, this could be a very fun year to watch! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJS Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 The depth will be much improved over last year. It's an experienced bunch, but what's exciting is we have legitimate battles going on for starting spots. What's the most exciting of all, is a lot are coming from the RS freshman class. Sounds like Rooney (So) is a lock at center, Taylor (Jr) at RG and Cox (Sr) at RT, Tobin (FR) is pushing Bell (SR) hard at LG and Stockwell (SR) is being pushed by Mortel (FR) and Bennett (FR) at LT. We have Blair (So) who started a few games at RT backing up Cox, Aplin (JR) who started 8 games last year at either guard or center. Miller (SR) has experience starting at one point and played a lot last year. Add Nygon and Russo also to the list. Breaking it down to class and position, I think I'm more excited about the potential of the FR O-Line class than any other on the team. The O-Line will be improved this year, but should be outstanding for years to come. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We faced a lot of stacked boxes early last season. Absolutely! And sounds like he's had a great fall camp, seemed like he was in nearly every one of Teeder's updates so this seemed to be a no brainer as we needed at least one burner. Sounds like he is a smart, quiet, and hard working kid......hope he makes some big plays right away in game 1! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
