OL Moves

[SPAMM]

It never fails to amaze me that two coaches with a combined 60 years experience in OL play know less that a bunch of peope, if handed a jock, would put it on like a man bun holder.

DMoney mentioned how we just look smaller on the Oline this year. Pancake has been good but he’s not Bell or SiSi size wise. SJ is obviously undersized.
nd move Pancake to guard every three series or so? This would immediately give us more size and could be our highest ceiling line. If they want to try this out, they need to do it asap so we can get Cantwell some experience before the stretch run.
It doesn’t seem like they’re willing to play Jackson’ at RT, so should we start rotating in Cantwell at LT a

Moving OL around -- particulalrly rotating every 3rd series -- during a game generally isn't going to bode well. How long you think a DC will take to figure out tendnaces from that? Playing this late in the season, still trying things, still not knowing what we have and who the best five are, playing as a "unit," may catch up with us aganist some of the D-fronts we will face.

We had almost 600 yards of offense and 250 was on the ground. Line is not as good as last year but it’s been better since Congdon started at LG.

Exactly, but some posters act like the O-line is in complete disarray. All the run-game explosives came off the left side of the O-line, but Sampson didn't have his best game... are you kidding me?

Can't fault the guy as its obviously worked out well for him, but **** it if Bell wouldn't have just come back for one more year.

That dude is one year closer to a life changing contract. As much as it sucks, he made the right decision.

 

[Shooter McGavin]

The pressure was coming from the outside, but SJ was consistently getting pushed back so Mensah would often not have room to step up in the pocket. DMoney even made this point on the pod yesterday. SJ wasn’t a disaster like he has been in other games, but he’s still a consistent liability.

I can't believe there are people saying he wasn't that bad or even saying he played well. I guess there were watching a different game.

Sampson played his worst game here and it wasn't even that bad. But let's not come on here saying SJ wasn't bad. He's holding this OL back.

I guarantee you that if you gave Mario some truth serum he would admit they overvalued what they had in the OL room for this season and made a mistake by not being more active in the transfer portal. It has to hurt Mario’s soul to roll out SJ at OG.

LOL nobody was saying that about Congdon, they were actually saying he is more ready then Cantwell

He wasn’t in the rotation in one of the early games and people were complaining about it, and some replies were, “we’ll he must not be ready.”

Don’t meant to call out this poster because maybe Congdon wasn’t ready but just pointing out there were certainly people question or saying he isn’t ready.

100%, I thought that was the biggest lost, Lane screwed us over big time. That move right there we win the natty, now we will get eliminated cause the OL is not good man its just not. Anyone saying otherwise is a homer

This is 100 percent right. The OL is just not good enough to make a deep playoff run unless there's significant improvement.

And honestly, I don't expect significant improvement. People can make themselves feel better by saying, “Well, every team is a step down this year,” but it takes time for teams to reach their potential and round into form. Look at UM last year. Unfortunately, I just think the ceiling with this OL is pretty low, while other teams have more room to improve.

I'm just enjoying the ride at this point. I hope we finally win the ACC and put that narrative to bed. Best case, we clinch a bye, win a quarterfinal game, and make the semis. That'll keep the momentum going.

Big facts


It would be a ******* miracle this team wins the natty. We lacking up front man oh man Seaton and Lowe would of taken this **** to the moon
