Offensive Line.

Advertisement
I think this OLine has the talent but there seems to be a lack of effort. They just get out hustled by opposing teams and they lack toughness. Probably because practices haven't been physical.

Feely and Justice were low-rent hires.

Hire Temple's strength coach and UNLV's OL coach, get Temple and UNLV results.

Stop recruiting tiny OL and expecting to put 40 pounds on them. Works for OTs 3-4 years later…not interior. If they don’t weight 300 coming out of HS and don’t move well… we shouldn’t even be looking at them for guard.

As for Donaldson’s excuse because he checked both of those boxes.. idk. Just low IQ and lazy. I remember someone saying he was a mommas boy and soft as baby **** coming out of HS. Whoever said that was spot on.

There was one play where Scaife failed to hand his guy off and a defender tore right past him. That's fundamentals.

You have to feel the guy is going that way for a reason and understand what your protection responsibilities are; he lunged at the guy he was so far gone. Why is he trying to go lateral on a drop back pass play? Because he's taking you with him so the stunt works. This has happened over and over since the LSU game, and ACC opponents caught on. Those SEC fronts are used to having to be creative with some of the better O-ines they face - they watched film on the Canes and couldn't wait to tee off.

Dont know what Feeley has to do with guys not being able to pick up simple line stunts (im sure Justice coaches them not to do what they do) and guys just flat out falling flat on their face trying to block in the redzone (Donaldson leading to a safety)

We have some stone cold scrubs on our Oline. Play calling doesnt help them much either...but ALOT of them are uncoordinated with bad feet...or in Scaifes case not much iq or strength at his position.

*Donaldson is just fat and a leaner
*Scaife isnt smart,, is a tweener, doesnt want to mix it up at guard
*Jarrid Williams eats the senior breakfast at Dennys and has duck feet. Also isnt strong ,and opens the gate alot in pass pro
*Gaynor is weak as ****. *Clark limited athletically
*Nelson is pretty solid *I have hopes for Rivers

This is what Justice has to deal with.

Also another issue is our lack of more than 1 running play. We have essentially added 2 running plays with the now motion sweep to only Brashard Smith. Our run game and concepts is PATHETIC....im actually shocked Cam Harris bust 1 or 2 at times. Because it essentially is only that one zone read play...Hence the world saw it coming on the play we got the safety on.

You can stop our run game with 3 tite down lineman...force Lashlee into that rpo inside zone play and just walk up a db towards the snap they never will account for them...and the guards or center can barely get to 2nd level lbs.

All of this is fraught facts. But it doesn’t explain how we can’t get push against g5 teams. Something is off technique wise and S&C wise.
