You've created a straw man here figuratively and literally. Kudos but I'm not even going to address it.
It sounds like you think Richt just has his pick of the litter and can plug in recruits at will. It isn't that easy yet you try to make it sound so. Now, scheme wise, I got no qualms about criticizing. Like I said in the original post, "I think we all agree, there has to be some change in order to get more out of this squad on offense."
Really? Weldon can't stay off the suspended list. N'Kosi can't grasp the offense and read defenses and stay out of trouble off the field either. That is on Richt? Sure if he had a crystal ball. Allison transferred because his one chance that we at least got to see, he **** the bed? Nevermind he also couldn't take the job from Rozier the entire season? Sorry, but I'm not laying all the blame on Richt. If you want to, go ahead. I'm not going to take your side when it is put up against a coach with 15 plus years of head coaching plus many more as an assistant under some pretty good coaches AND who has played the position AND sees these players day in and day out. Yeah, he's totally running out #12 as QB #1 because Coach Richt is incompetent. That's the ticket, yeah! Asinine take IMO.
We agree! The oline is bad. Scaife started at BC, Donaldson is a new starter at tackle. St. Louis was a right tackle, now he's on the left. A lot of experience was lost which was my point in the OP. KC started 33 straight games. Darling started the entire season. Replacing them isn't something to gloss over. Neither is playing at a new position. Criticize the coaching and development of the upperclassmen, I think that's fair but at some point aren't the players responsible too?
There are 8 freshmen and redshirt freshmen linemen, only one of which I've seen in a game not against FCS teams. I think we'll have to wait and see if they're going to develop into good players before passing judgement on linemen.
Yes, a mystery. Can you explain why Feagles under performs in games? Blocking on a lot of those bad punts is the first thing I can think of but not all of his bad punts. Again, I agree. It is embarrassing.
