Why is our Oline so bad?
We've been bad for at least a decade but this years line takes the cake. Its just pathetic. I've said in other threads that if you correct the oline, then it solves tons of out issues:
TMART has time and can find opens guys, play calmer, make better decisions. The rbs can have some effective runs and move the ball. It opens SFs playbook up. Field position and ball control
While the D had a rougher game at Minnesota, they've played decent most of the year with the talent they have and yet even at Minn, we were down 14-0 at half. Big deal. If the oline blocks, we score 14 or more too. And the D gets breaks and the D doesnt eventually fold over the fact that the offense does nothing. Earlier in the year, we expected the D to give up points. Frost offense is suppose to be highly effective and its our achilles heal behind that Oline.
So I want to know why its so bad?
here some things I hear
1 - We are young and inexperienced! - no we are not. jaimes has 2.5 years as a starter, Farniok has 1.5 years as a starter and has a RS before that. Bo Wilson a full year as a starter after half this year and half last, including a RS year and playing time before that. Yes Jurgens and Hixson are inexperienced, but theres few olines across the country that doenst have a few new staters in the lineup every year. That amount of exerience is similar to other olines across the country.
2 - We are untalented - Well Farniok and Jurgens 4*s , BW and Jaimes 3* and then a walk on. Not the most talented group ever, but certianly plenty of talent to be solid.
3 - It takes time in a new system - Well these guys have had coming up on 2 years learning the system. plenty of time to not be horrible.
4 = They are not strong - Thats not what HCSF says about our teams strength under Duvall.
5 - These kids arent playing tough - Do i think Farniok and Jaines and Jurgens etc, etc arent tough or dont care enough? I have a hard time coming to that conclusion.
So what is it?
I have no idea and would like some opinions.
Thanks!
