will the OL be any better ? i give this the jeff spicoli answer
To address the specific question on the OL, there are 5 true freshmen (Scaife, Reed, Golden, Griffith and Campbell), 3 redshirt freshmen (Dykstra, Lerman and Hillary), 3 sophmores (Donaldson, Herbert and Gaynor), 1 junior (Bar Milo), 3 RS Juniors (Boulware, Mahoney and George Brown). So we are going to need to rely on some of those young guys on the OL again to some extent next year.
Wait!! Arent u a big Searles supporter?
So confusing.
How the **** is Milo a Jr?
That athlete was part of Big Wave 11 class. Been on squad for what, 7,8, 9 years now?
Well u have said that the issue isn’t coaches, but a young team. I think u at least implied u don’t think coaching changes are needed.Lol now u know u haven’t seen me or a single soul on this board stick up for Searles.
LG and C were pathetic all year. LT was mediocre at best. The right side improved when they moved Donaldson back inside but still struggled, especially in pass protection.
Yes (Reed, Campbell). Plus addition by subtraction.
Answer has to be JuCos or anyone else with the eligibility to play immediately!He was the best we had and will be drafted. I think Donaldson played a lot better once he got re-settled inside. And I like Scaife a lot. But while I wouldn’t say any of them played to an acceptable level, St. Louis was the best of the bunch.
If Donaldson takes another step, Scaife does as well, and Gaynor can pick up at least be equal to Gauthier, that’s a start. But the LG spot was a nightmare. And who plays LT? We really really really really need to hit on a few of the young kids. Reed, Campbell, Herbert, and even Hillery were recruited by a lot of schools. Surely one or two of those kids can pull their weight? Lot of uncertainty, though.
Anybody ever ask if Gaynor can consistently snap the ball in a consistent manner? If your consistently run the quarterback from a shotgun/pistol position, it might be something that the center needs to do well.IMO, it depends on if Gaynor can develop into the C we need. Gauthier was brutal at times this year.
Scaife, Reed, Donaldson, Gaynor, Campbell, Herbert, Boulware... the materials there.
