Don't know. Just appears we have regressed from an OL that couldn't pass block last year to one that can't pass or run block this year.What do you guys see as the biggest issues with our "O Line" right now? From a coaching/technique standpoint.
We’re getting out-quicked, that’s for sure. Just from their demeanor and faces coming out of the huddle, they seem like they’re focused on trying to remember/fathom scheme or reads or whatever instead of playing aggressive football. Can’t play aggressive football when your mind is busy; might need to de-complicate some, just go smash a mouth. But they won’t.What do you guys see as the biggest issues with our "O Line" right now?

We to really change it up to have a chance with UGA. Just don’t expect the Oline to hold back their line and backs.We need a more mobile quarterback to expand the pocket and not just stand back there and get hammered. That would at least buy a little more time for plays to develop. Why are quick screen passes not being used more?
Maybe because we thought they were our strength last year they were not pushed hard enough in spring and summer conditioning and strength workouts. Clearly it is one or the other IMHO.To be as big as our OL guys are, why don’t we get any push on the D? I just don’t get it.
Maybe, but did they block better because we completed some passes or did we complete some passes because they blocked better?They blocked better in the 4th quarter after we started completing some passes.
I think it's not just an offensive line play. Both Eastern Illinois and ECU blitzed their linebackers basically daring us to pass and we still couldn't pass. Teams are putting a lot of men at the line of scrimmage and blitzing through the gaps almost every play which means we're basically running into a wall unless we run outside which is where we had the success late yesterday. If we had receivers that could get separation and a quarterback who could hit quick short passes they might stop rushing their linebackers up the middleWhat do you guys see as the biggest issues with our "O Line" right now?

I think we wore them down in the 4th quarter. We were so much bigger than them. I expected it all along.Maybe, but did they block better because we completed some passes or did we complete some passes because they blocked better?
I think pass protection has been pretty solid.Don't know. Just appears we have regressed from an OL that couldn't pass block last year to one that can't pass or run block this year.
I don't understand the reasoning behind having the biggest goliath on the team at LT. Seems to me you need someone agile and quick to block the DEs we seem to face these days. Both of our tackles were getting beat by ECU's quicker and smaller OLBs and DEs.Can't fix cement feet. Our tackles move like they have cement feet. Replace and hope for the best.
If you watch this....1:34....ECU LB #11 (guy with mouthpiece hanging).Can't fix cement feet. Our tackles move like they have cement feet. Replace and hope for the best.
That's the RTIf you watch this....1:34....ECU LB #11 (guy with mouthpiece hanging).
The LT (Wonnum) just lets him run by.
A Sr player doesn't know who to block?
This is coaching. Someone on that staff needs their azz kicked.
Could be a number of issues. It’s formation, play call, protection call, and recognition— OC, QB, Center. Obviously the RT is keyed on the wrong player, who drops back into coverage. In this case, the RT has two guys standing up in front of him, neither are a defensive lineman. If you let it run, the RG is equally confused. It’s a front designed to confuse, while only bringing 4 rushers, and it did. The QB immediately looks to dump the ball to the running back, who isn’t looking. ECU is playing coverage on 3rd and long, and Carolina is expecting pressure up the middle. But these things can happen on 3rd and long because the defense has all the advantages.If you watch this....1:34....ECU LB #11 (guy with mouthpiece hanging).

I agree, how many times have we seen smaller teams cause havoc with running games due to their speed. when you are much quicker than the other guy and the defense is blitzing from different spots a large line has problems. Hopefully the O line will perform better against D lines that are larger and maybe a bit slower.We are very slow with no quickness. We struggle to block any with speed or quickness. But athletic OL are like hens teeth.
The opposing defensive coaches dont fear Noland so they dare us to run the ball and stack the box, they run blitz and if it does happen to be a pass it turns into a pass blitz. A mobile QB changes our offense immediately.
It's called a whiff...and game prep. We're getting outcoached.Could be a number of issues.
The teams with the most explosive quick twitch and agile players in the front 7 are the SEC teams. UGA, A&M, UF, etc. EIU, ECU, etc. are smaller, yes, but also less explosive and slower. They cause problems for an offense like South Carolina because they sell out and take chances. They use multiple fronts, blitz a lot and from odd areas. They leave receivers one-on-one with single high safety looks and live with the result. South Carolina struggles with these teams for the simple reason that their QB and skill position players are largely average to below average. There are plenty of instances with a coverage look or run play, with skill guys that should be making major yards, that don’t work out that way.I agree, how many times have we seen smaller teams cause havoc with running games due to their speed. when you are much quicker than the other guy and the defense is blitzing from different spots a large line has problems.

It should not be happening with experienced OL (Jrs & Srs). If they can't figure it out, put someone else in who can.Our ol struggled to figure out who to block on blitz.
Who? We don't have very good tackles.It should not be happening with experienced OL (Jrs & Srs). If they can't figure it out, put someone else in who can.

My B-I-L, a Clemson grad, was discussing Clemson's OL woes and brought up the cross-training that they had been doing. He felt it was an issue in how their OL began performing. I know we cross-trained under Muschamp but are we still doing it and could that be part of the problem?Who? We don't have very good tackles.
He thought LB was blitzing. As for Harris, I have no clue why he didnt chip the end. He ran right by him. He didn't play the next 3 series. I'm sure they coached him up.If you watch this....1:34....ECU LB #11 (guy with mouthpiece hanging).

He did....there were 2 LBs. If you've got 2, you pick the one who rushes. That was on Wonnum.He thought LB was blitzing.
