No one is saying it’s an elite oline, but when I see stuff like a coach not incorporating misdirections , motions in the offense that is completely necessary to be a high level offense in today’s age then that’s a big problem for me personally. Defenses are able to predict what the offense will do because we are just lining up and not trying to deceive them allowing them to allocate all of their defenders in those short yardage situations instead of drawing some of that attention elsewhere which would clear up some running room. Offense is basically playing with a hand behind its back in today’s age of football with a stale offensive coordinatoroline is horrible. stop it.
The biggest issue that the offense faces is a lack of accountability. They do not execute at any of the offensive positions and yet these players continue to play. Missed blocks, door passes, fumbles, bad QB reads. Plus we run an outdated offense that does not take advantage of the talent here is S FL. It’s completely Richt’s and solely Richt’s fault.
I think the seed for this was planted when Richt hired his son 3 years ago. Look what happened to FSU when Bowden did the same thing. Went from champs to chumps.....
From a very high-level perspective to keep this short, the tackles were pretty good overall. Not great, but certainly not awful.
The guards were pretty brutal all year. Especially LG. That revolving door was never solved.
And Gauthier was a disappointment as a senior center.
All in all, the pieces around them did not help them AT ALL. The shuffling in and out (coaching), the QB play (players), and the scheme (coaching) all failed them tremendously. But if you guys think the OL was the root of the problem for this offense, you're wrong. It's QB play & scheme as 1 and 1A, and OL play as #2. A good play-caller goes 11-1 with this same exact team. Literally. Replace Mark Richt this past January with Kendal Briles, and this team goes 11-1. Furthermore, if N'Kosi Perry started every game this season, this team is probably 10-2, even with Richt being as clueless as he was.
You sure about that?OP is as bad as we all think.
You are right. You’re worse.You sure about that?
Yeah I’m such a terrible posterYou are right. You’re worse.
Not trying to mess up your rant here but if you were running 4.75 40yd at 275 pounds that probably has more to do with your parents than your work ethic. And I might say the same about those squat numbers. To expect five people on one team to have those numbers when five people in an entire NFL combine might not have those numbers is pretty unreasonable.
Yeah I’m such a terrible poster
Got to laugh at this one , I aint That bad lol
This has been something I’ve debated with @LuCane over - specifically, at the goal line.If your offensive line can't move people off the ball for 1 yard in a short situation you're trash I don't give a ****. It's ridiculous to be forced to go spread on the 1 freaking yard line.
Who’s of this agreement with me?
When people say we don’t run a qb friendly or receiver friendly offense to maximize their talent that same notion definitely applies to the oline IMO. How many times did richts predictable non creative offense exploit their weaknesses in obvious situations? You are a coordinator you are supposed to scheme and work around their faults. The constant 3rd and 1 same plays, draws up the middle, all verticals, lack of motion in the offense to make the defense account for a side of the field and unclog some of that in the middle by taking them out of that in the play. Bottom line put them in a position to succeed... This isn’t a post to defend Searels because I defintiely Think he needs to go regardless but just been thinking about the success we have had recently when we have spread the defense out. Miami finished the season #23 in the country in yards per rush with 5.19 a rush. Roman alluded to it on twitter the other day too. It’s deeper beyond a talent issue, this scheme was the biggest detriment of the season rather than their play imo but we all knew that hopefully richt understands this
This is why in today’s age of football the system is very important, you all think a team like ucf or Memphis has a better oline in terms of talent than Miami? No but the system they run helps erase any edge Miami has in talent compared to those two teams and thus the difference in performance.
Now on to next year we lose Tyree(he was terrible early on this year but has settled down recently) and gaultheir(he’s been terrible all year). We do get back scaife who looks pretty good now especially lately, Donaldson has made some impactful blocks specifically in the run game the last few games he just need to be more consistent, boulware imo has been good when he’s played this year although he hasn’t been playing as much as he was in that stretch earlier on in the season.
I think The oline might be solid next year
Lt Scaife(will he move over there?), george Brown
Lg Boulware/Cleveland reed
C Gaynor
Rg Donaldson , hillery
Rt Campbell, Herbert(will he take the next step?
Oline development is obviously at a different pace than other positions. Should see a leap in guys game like Herbert and hillery which will be great for us especially if Herbert can take the right tackle spot. I like Campbell’s ability a lot there too.
Wrong. You should want to go to the spread in short yardage. Being “forced” to would be a good thing. But nobody is forcing Richt, because on short yardage he lines up in heavy in the I and runs Gray into the A gap.
Regardless, take a lap.
I get all of that and kudos to your work ethic. But … genetically you had to have had a predisposition to that kind of work; everybody can’t do it - or won’t be able to.
And … as I mentioned in the other post, that’s NFL first round measurables and there are some elite OL who can’t get close to those weight room numbers. Now add in some Tony Mandarich-types who absolutely suck when they actually play against real competition.
Technique trumps weight room numbers and 40.

That “a lot of it had to do with Perry” is straight trash. He did miss two throws one was really bad to Harley in the sideline, other than that he was money. There were several drops again but he was spectacular in the second half of that game. Richt is terrible at getting quarterbacks in a rhythm.There was nothing wrong with the FSU DL this year, and yeah they gave us fits, but a lot of that was Perry too, he missed WR all over the field for 3 quarters and looked like a deer in headlights when he did get pressured. ...Unless you meant just overall and on the scoreboard? Well that was all special teams, FSU had 200 yards of offense.
