HookedOnTF Posted 36 minutes ago Author Posted 36 minutes ago Three out on a limb thoughts: 1) Is our DL too good for our OL's development? Even the DL twos are good enough that I wonder if they've broken the OL's confidence. Instead of developing, are the linemen spending every practice correcting mistakes? Iron sharpens aluminum? 2) Is the OL coach really the answer? Every time we've hired a "top 5 OL coach" since 2010, the result has been the same. Bill Bedenbaugh didn't forget how to coach either, and Oklahoma's line is struggling too. A big name college coach has to align with Sark, and an NFL OL coach might help with scheme and technique, but maybe not with developing 18-year-olds. So is it really as simple as firing Flood and throwing money at the next home-run hire with skins on the wall? 3) Is it strength? Becton has the team fast and well conditioned. The DL anchors well but doesn't really penetrate (bonus pts for big man tuddys), and the OL looks weak. A few years ago I think we brought Dana LeDuc back to work on strength. Is he still around? Is strength training part of the OL's struggle, or do they just not know what to do in live fire? Quote
Aspann85 Posted 35 minutes ago Posted 35 minutes ago We all know it but that doesn’t make it easier to look at on a spreadsheet. This needs to be papered all over the locker rooms, practice field, weight room, etc as a challenge to the OLine. It’s just simple pride that should be taking a hit…I couldn’t look at my teammates if this was me. I quit my sport because my heart wasn’t in it anymore and I wasn’t helping the team. 1 Quote
HookedOnTF Posted 18 minutes ago Author Posted 18 minutes ago Btw, I included Oregon and Oklahoma specifically because they both fired their OCs... Quote
