TARHEEL38 said:The guys we have are a lot better than the three rookie OL men Houck used last year in SD. None of those three were drafted above the 3rd round and look at the year they had. One was not drafted at all. Now that we are getting rid of that zone blocking crap from last year we will be fine.
I got to admit it was not too bad getting to watch AJ get creamed last year though. You could tell they didn't give a crap if he got killed.
Coaching makes a critical difference, even with Offensive Line. You cannot just expect players to respond to just any coach successfully. Just look how much coaching makes a difference. Example: Dave Wannstedt + Nick SabanDmarino110 said:How the hell is he supposed to run behind an O-line that would make UCF happy about their O-Line.
What is Saban doing to fix the O-line?
Did you watch the bengals game ?!?!?! it got a little better after that but not much and then finally the last 3 or 4 games the blocking was almost bad but not quite... which was a significant improvement over putrid.HysterikiLL said:A lot of people have felt that we had a weak running and passing game because of a horrible line. I felt the opposite -- our line was looking horrible because our running and passing games weren't able to elevate to their own levels. A.J. would drop back, check for his receivers....check....Booker open....Chambers open...checking...SACKED...."Damn line"

McDougle was the best pick up we couldve got this offseaseon, plus he's a mammoth monster mauler. V. carey will play guard to hide his subpar agilty, the only hole is center...tim ruddy tim ruddy tim ruddy tim ruddy(just playing)nick19991 said:the o-line will be fine, relax. we have Houck who is a great o-line coach and we also have some good additions such as McDougle at RT and we might move Hadnot to center in order to get McKinney off the field who is horrible

HysterikiLL said:The Bengals game was a prime example. A.J. Feeley threw an INT to Nate Webster returned for a touchdown on a play when he had another receiver wide open. Gordon and Minor were also injured for that game, giving us no real attack in the tailback position at that time.
Not saying our line was good -- it WAS ugly but the level of improvement required is much less, I feel, than that of what anybody says. We have size, talent and can now harness our understanding and propensity through Hudson Houck and a new offensive system, more run-and-gun than last season.
