Oline still stinks

[bAMACANE]

On a positive note, when SJ is a senior playing C and Cogdon is a JR G, it’s going to be a strength of the line.

I don’t disagree.

It would look a lot different with: Samson, Buchanan, Rodriguez, McCoy, Cantwell (if healthy was as good as Francis like we thought/hoped he’d be).

Francis was unique. Most OT are not ready like that day 1. But yes.

I know - we were banking on Cantwell also being generational, which he is not.

He might be. But they aren't always on day 1. He has elite elite traits, just have to get it to translate to the field.

GUYS have no clue what they are doing

More surprised dudes still have nicknames. Pancake? He should be called waffle at this point

His lack of twitch is worrisome from what we’ve seen so far…Francis was always twitchy AF.

The Olines complete inability to still handle a stunt because the OG jump sets the Looper and the EDGE just crashes in and our OTs are too stupid or incapable of reading it is absolutely dumbfounding. Like what on ******* earth are Mirabal and Mario doing? It's insane. ALL ******* SEASON the stunts have killed us.
I just don't know if it's because are OTs suck, our OGs suck, or our Coaches are TELLING THEM to do that, or the combo of all 3. Regardless its stupid, but which is it? I'm inclined to think it's not the OTs given Samson is one of the ones who is always getting killed on it, but the actual movement skills aren't the issue with him, nor do I think it's intelligence.... I think our OGs have obviously sucked all season so could just be that....But the amount of jump sets and the fact that it completely is predictable and eliminates our ability to handle a stunt leads me to think its just ******* Mirabal and Mario being ******* stupid and thinking per usual that they know it all and that it "should work" or some **** and refusing to adapt. They always just force the **** out of something and don't adjust.
It's why the absolute ******* obvious of leaving Cantwell at OT all offseason+season was mishandled. It's why they forced SJ into Guard. Its why they refuse to spread the ball out to run and have always loved the short splits and running it up the centers *** for 1 yard because it "doesn't lose yards"....

Shut up, man, I really cannot stand some of you guys. We’re 9-1 despite missing numerous key players. We haven’t lost a game by more than one score in several years, and after a big win at home against a good Duke team, here come people complaining. It’s like you guys have forgotten our 20 years of failure before Mario. The OL does not suck; they are just not elite like we’re used to. We’re 9-1 and could have easily had a bigger blowout today; chill Tf out. We had like 600 yards of offense without Mali and almost 200 yards rushing against the 5th overall defense in the country.

It's a discussion board, if you dont the topic of a thread stfu and ignore it

Miss blocks constantly, LG way too slow and labored with slow feet, no strength besides Samson. Guards are hideous

Congdon not slow but he has bad technique. Keeps jump setting. He’s the only player doing it regularly, so it could be from HS coaches. But it needs to stop YESTERDAY!
