McDermott is supposed to be the star of that folly, but what the fck kind of technique is St. Louis using? He looks like an old lady trying to pull herself up with a rope.

And how many players were drafted before and after his tenure?
In Texas, their last OL drafted was 2008, Tony Hills.
If you went by draft picks alone, Art Kehoe would be the most sought after candidate.

I could give a fvck about draft picks. Just field a line that will protect the qb and open running lanes.

This falls on Richt & Searles, not the players...
Think back to last year, everyone knew the D had talent and they basically Sucked...
Richt brings in Diaz, before the season even starts he loses 2 of the top if not the #1 player on D... The D has been Lighting it Up out there, and for the last couple of games he's lost more players to injury, Not A Peep out of Diaz, No Excuses... Now the D finally gave up more than 20 points last week but we all Know that the Kids were exhausted... Diaz made adjustments in his game plan, I believe against FSU he went back to a 3-4, not his typical style of playing but it worked...
Now Richt, & Searles need to make those same type of adjustments with the Offensive Line... Stop running it between the tackles all the time, try pitching it out to the back, get away from the RPO & start running play action, what happen to the quick swing pass that worked against App State? How about running some slant patterns so the WR is on the inside of who's ever covering them?
Go Back to what worked against App State because that Offensive moved with a rhythm
I don't want to hear about not having talent on the Offensive Line because who ever we have there is better than whoever lines up for App State & they took Tennesse to the wire & played toe to toe with them

A line with a lot of draft picks is probably protecting the QB and opening running lanes. Conversely, a line without any draft picks probably isn't protecting the QB and not opening running lanes.

To think that you sit here and believe your own BS is amazing to me. Half a season in with the worst oline in our history and you seem to have all the answers. Wow... This is the very definition of delusional. Dude really has no clue that he doesn't even have a clue.
Is Searles responsible for the FG OL or is it Hartley? My goodness, can we just put Norton at LT and move St Louis to TE? They still haven't adjusted after a blocked PAT and blocked FG.
McDermott is the only starter who has looked good this year. Linder and Isidora have been beat often with spin moves. Linder and St Louis by power rushers. Darling by speed rushers.
Our WRs & TEs haven't exactly been on fire either. We have 10% of the balls dropped. So even when the OL does their job, the WRs and TEs F it up. If they don't drop those passes, we likely are 1-2 Ws better and no one is complaining about Searles.
Dugans- Richards, Coley, Berrios... where is Harris and Mullens? How is the WR recruiting coming along? Guess he needs a new donk cause this on has four flats.
Hartley- one PAT block cost us major momentum and a victory over FSU. How many drops has Njoku had? Dobard is so good they moved him to DE.

That one clip kinda summarizes the entire OL..... just awful across the board.... I don't know if what is there is necessarily from coaching... just looks like players having terrible technique... why would a Linemen ever stop moving their legs then try to just spread his legs and hope for the best?? Then St Louis is sitting there literally playing patty cake.... just no aggression whatsoever from those guys. Cut em loose!!
Stoutland please
Stoutland is still coaching the Eagles in the NFL, how Golden did not beg him to stay is mind boggling.

I totally agree!! When you recruit an OL, one of the most important attributes is the kid's feet. There are plenty of big guys around, but see if the mutha can do a few jumping jacks before you accept his commitment!
