Mcdermott and darling are gone. Those guys never have any push and average pass blockers. Over the years...those two have cost us key drives and even games.

Ok but who is going to replace them? Herbert who never played and Gaynor who has gotten rocked?

OL looks scary to me in 2018
 
i found it more disgusting that with 14 ol on scholly there wasn't 1 guy, not 1 that could push mcd or darling or gauthier for playing time. not one. **** keep st l, donaldson, and the true freshman and cut everyone, like all of them. if they couldn't get playing time behind those guys they never will. makes me wonder if searles is any good, it took an injury to linder to realize mcd is better at tackle and brought in gall. without that injury gall probably never plays.

Unless some real coaching ---and why has not it worked much already--it is concerning. Campbell and some of the other 2018 EEs haev the ability to be good if coached properly. I hope this coaching is not Keho part 2.
 
LSU will destroy us next year with this joke of a staff.

But hey at least the players will be praising jesus daily!

Milsap and Charles are almost gone. Dudes have been missing blocks and getting pushed back to the locker room for too many years.

in fairness to richt, your post reminded me of the garbage golden left us. Christ, this was always going to take 3-4 years

South Florida sucks for OL. We need to recruit out of state for that

It's always been tough for us to bring in the elite OLs from out-of-state. Maybe that will change, I don't know.

Even the vaunted 2001 OL was kind of luck. We backed into having a line that was highly thought of although i still think a bit overrated. McKinnie was a lucky find. I don't even know if he played any or much high school football. He was in the band. He played for an out-of-the-way juco in Pennsylvania. We also looked to Canada for OLs. When it came to the really good OLs in the midwest or the northeast they almost never wanted to come. We'd get the second tier. Of course we almost never could recruit a top OL from the deep south. The highly rated OLs from California turned out to be overrated (Robert Bergman and maybe Bar Milo, who is in his third year, a California four star, but doesn't ever play.)
