DLine

DirtyCock99 · Sep 29, 2015

The coaches upgraded the talent at the DE and DT positions. Whitlow is gonna be good, Sawyer is a young guy doing well. But, I was under the impression that the coaches upgraded the talent and retooled the DLine. Yet, every Saturday 5 and 55 get just as much, if not more, run time than the guys who were brought in to do the very thing 5 or 55 cant do, show signs of life as a pass rusher. Its no surprise our push and pressure are equally as bad as 14.

I've noticed one of the numbers above is now 3rd string, yet hes on the field at the crucial times in games. Where are the new guys?

We brought in talent, but kept the inept coaches in charge of them.

I have been harping on Boozy Whitlow for months! Glad to see him finally get his shot!

The coaches have shaken up the depth chart for the game this week. sawyer is now starting at DT, and Whitlow is listed as number 2 DE behind Johnson. The starting DL is DE Johnson, DT Sawyer, DT Dixon Jr., DE Lewis. I can't wait to see Whitlow lined up next to Sawyer!

Missed the game last Saturday. How did Blackshear look?

gamecockblack · Sep 30, 2015

I'm not sure if he got any playing time or not. I know that there were others asking the same thing

Someone posted in another thread (or on CT) that he was in for either 11 or 15 plays (I forget which they said). He didn't have any highlight reel plays, but I think he played pretty well.

DirtyCock99 · Sep 30, 2015

Shamiek ran 15 plays. 10 of those in the 4th qtr iirc

I agree. Those 2 can anchor down one side for the next 3 years.

Just concerned, although nothing is suprising coming from deke or ward, that we added not just talent, but some serious studs. But we keep running some of the guys who have proved to be inept pass rushers at best. Head scratcher.

Hopefully now that 1/4 of the season has passed, I hope the offense and defense can find the best 11 and try to win some games.

He looked great! Especially when he was double-teamed yet still pushed his way into the backfield. I think he's going to be special!

Just heard Adams say, the D line played well and no changes or anything new for Missou. And we wonder why the line struggles?

CoachT13 · Sep 30, 2015

It took our LB coach a while to put the right guys out there too. This happens every year and it is a joke. They either don't know how to evaluate talent or they play the seniority card to a fault. Either way, the coaches are doing a disservice to the team, the players, and the fans.

In his defense I believe he means all the guys who got playing time will see the field again vs Mizzou. I am interested to see if Whitlow & Blackshear get more playing time off the bench tho

Deke and Whammy are not good D1 coaches and Botkins is barely serviceable. The jury is out on the others coaching D, and Jr is squarely in the deke camp as far as coaching and developing talent. Sands couldn't recruit if his life depended on it and Jr is likely the worst RC in the entire Big5

I agree with what you said about Jr but the frustrating part about it is Spurrier Sr will never fire his son to bring in someone better. That is a huge problem. Spurrier won't make the necessary changes to make us better & if people don't see that you're being naive to what's going on within our program. We have to ask ourselves this, why isn't anyone beating down Jr's door wanting him to be their OC or recruiting coordinator? He is merely getting by just by sitting in the shadows of his father. He should have never been labeled as the RC. Spurrier won't demote him & Tanner won't intervene, so how can we expect any type of change going forward if Spurrier Sr decides to stay? I'm sorry but I don't see it.

That's exactly right. The program is now completely dependent upon a coach that is untouchable.

It's like a runaway train, all we can do is hang on and pray for the best.
