Repulsive stat

Not at all surprising when you’ve watched and rewatched every snap for the past 2 decades, but man, seeing this data on paper is just gross.

This is on OL.

 

[DMoney]

In 2014, we started three NFL OL and had two NFL RBs.

How did we finish 101st in short yardage?

While we’ve had some decent rushing years in there, that shows that we haven’t been able to run the ball when we’ve needed to. Even against G5 opponents it’s the same story.

During the Richt years, I was always yelling to just throw on 3rd and short.

Those lines always underachieved. We have made offense HARD for a long time. We so worried about being NFLU that teams with lesser talent can light up the scoreboard with ease while we hold on to being NFL farm system or something. None of those numbers surprise

Bingo.

Wait I am confused by the language of "designed runs on 3rd and short" is that the amount of times we called a run? The amount of times we were successful? I forget what year it was but it was when Choc was our FB and he always got the FB dive and always seemed to pick up the short yardage.

Also I do not have other stats to back this up but having only 22 3rd and short scenarios in a season appears to be lowwww basically twice a game we had a third and short?

 

[AlexCane]

That's crazy considering that our schedule hasn't exactly been murderer's row.

 

[We'retheBoss]

it's almost as if combining clueless OCs, poor OL and underachieving S&C program leads to bad things

 

[IndayArtHauz]

Gonna start calling it Porst-Style Offense.

The crap keeps pouring in. We have alot of work to do for this **** to get better...

 

[ThomasM]

It's not just line play. When teams don't fear your QB, your coaches stink, AND your OL isn't great, it all adds up to this. When teams know what play is coming, it doesn't help. When your coaches are stubborn, like ours have been, it's a killer.

Because teams haven't respected our passing games since Dorsey.

Kaaya actually led the ACC in touchdown passes that year.

My son could call UM plays in advance with uncanny accuracy.

Away games - would stun opponent fans in the stands. "How do you do that?"

Same tells, same tendencies. You can't run when everyone knows its a run - and where.

 

[canecrazy23]

You're right but do you actually feel teams respected him and were afraid of getting beat by him? I see your point though. Stats don't usually lie.

 

[TheEye]

How did we do when we had Stoutland as O line coach or Damien Berry as RB?

Yep. This is a direct indictment on S&C over everything. On third and short as long as you don’t have nubs for arms and have two legs that work, it comes down to strength and want to. It’s not like we lined up against 1st rounders across the board on the d line every week who were impossible to stay in front of.
