BOLO ALERT! MIAMI’S OFFENSIVE LINE!!

Earnest T. Bass said:
Blah, blah, blah...Coach Richt can appoint a new offensive coordinator...a new QB coach...and have his selection of the country’s current top college football QB's and not one **** thing is going to change!

Why in the **** people cannot see that Miami's offense is going nowhere until they repair an offensive line that would need a 10 story ladder to climb up on to be just pathetic is beyond me.

Since the days of Andy Gustafson, one could always point to at least one Miami offensive lineman who was good to excellent. Currently, there is not even one lineman that if you held your nose and closed one eye in which you could say that at least he has a heartbeat.

Deejay Dallas and Travis Homer have the hearts of lions and give one thousand percent on each and every play, yet they are on their own when it comes to the running game (much like last year). If those two Cats had just an average offensive line the Canes would be a scoring juggernaut.

Last night’s TV color commentator for the Canes/Cavaliers game, Kelly Stouffer, was imitating a broken record when in an astonished voice kept saying over and over again that Miami’s offensive line was getting NO PUSH!! He was clearly blown away by the lack of talent, athleticism, and heart. Furthermore, the Canes offensive line made Virginia’s defensive front to look like Alabama’s or Clemson defensive fronts, which was one **** of an accomplishment.

If you have a penchant for inflicting pain on yourself take a look at some video of the Texas offensive line and then immediately watch Miami’s version of the Keystone Cops offensive line.

This message board is fixated on the symptoms, not the disease!

We're back to blaming players lol

How is this different than Shannon/Golden era?

I stopped blaming 4 nd 5 star recruits a long time ago.

Trying not to be rude, but is your family tree decorated with morons, or are you the 'special one' who the rest of your relatives point too and whisper; "He's slow because at birth he was starved of oxygen for 45 minutes and his tiny brain never developed." I bet your mommy and daddy puts a cork on your fork anytime you eat so you don't poke your eye out. Now settle down Ruprecht!

That was pretty funny. No. 1 or No. 2? Couldn't figure out which.
 
Apparently, Indiana has a much better OL than we do. Even though one of their starters couldn't start for us.

No Earny, you’re the clueless one here. If this OC had done Anythjng at all to negate his weaknessss, you might have a point. But putting out the O that he has just amplifies all those weaknesses.

He’s trash.

Okay. In detail, tell me what the OC should have done to negate the OL weaknesses.

I'm all ears...please educate me as to how you "hide deficiencies" relating to an offensive line that can't run block or pass block. Maybe Coach Richt should just punt on first down.

Trust me on this...if you give a carpenter a plastic hammer and rubber nails he's going to complain.

Sigh. Rewatch the game. On pass plays the QBs didn't have much pressure throughout the game. But you go ahead with the narrative you have no knowledge of.

Again, we must have watched two different games. If Perry and Rosier were not pressured/sacked throughout the game I would LOVE to see an example of a game in which you believe the QB was pressured.

From Barry Jackson:

UM’s reshuffled right side of the line –with Scaife starting at tackle and Navaughn Donaldson moved to guard – was underwhelming. But the offensive line’s problems weren’t limited to those two.

Guard Hayden Mahoney committed a damaging penalty, negating a long Dee Wiggins catch. And center Tyler Gauthier allowed pressure that contributed to Rosier’s interception.

The offensive line is a symptom of the disease richts recruiting of the oline which has been descent at best we have no all american linemen we have no all acc linemen. If you dont have at least one all conference linemen then even average defensive lines destroy you. FALLS ON RICHT. His job to make sure the talent gets here.
 
Gauthier, St. Louis, Mahoney, Jones are hindering the development of Gaynor, Herbert, Hillery, Reed, Campbell. Let the young kids play.
 
8 OL recruits in 3 cycles

Donaldson
Herbert
Hillery
Dykstra
Gaynor
Scaife
Reed
Campbell

We don’t utilize the quick pass game, motion to free up play makers, jet sweeps, screens.

There are plenty of ways to scheme players open and hide oline weaknesses.

Running zone read left then right then all verts is the opposite of what we need to do

There’s been several threads about this topic. If the Oline sucks, don’t expect a power running game. Don’t run all go routes. Use short timing patterns, bubble screens, sweeps, wildcat.... don’t require the oline to hold a pocket long enough for a Receiver to get 30 yards downfield. Use motion to clear out space and have d declare coverage. Run something, Anything, counter to your tendencies. Make the defense think.

Or u can take Barry Jackson’s word for it:

Searels is a big question mark. From game day to recruiting. If he had been recruiting at an elite level from day one, we would have much fewer woes.

Again, run game was absolutely underwhelming. Pass pro was pretty good. But you keep grasping.

Coach Richt threw quick hitches/screens out into the flat countless times Saturday night. For the most part, they didn't work.

You keep saying; "There are plenty of ways to scheme players open and hide o-line weaknesses." Please give a detailed overview of exactly how you "hide o-line weaknesses". Do that considering Miami's offensive line is hapless be it run blocking or pass blocking.

I would love to live in your world where facts don't matter. The only thing that matters is whatever pops into your misshapen head. To say you are clueless would be a slap in the face to the members of the; "Clueless Society of America Fraternity".
 
Jones and Mahoney are not P5 OL. The fact they were our opening day starters should have been the first red flag. That’s the talent issue.

Donaldson not absolutely mauling guys is the next red flag. That’s a coaching issue.
