What happened to our jumbo set?

[TaylorWalls]

probably not the best choice of words.

My point is we were huge last year, went even bigger in short yardage and picked up the yards needed.

This year we are much smaller and rather than trying to get bigger in short yardage we go even smaller but try to run the same things we did last year.

And the other side is that “bigger” doesn’t automatically mean better blocking. An experienced tight end can be a better blocker than a young backup lineman.

Our O line struggles to open running lanes and gain ground on 1st and 10 at mid field against 3 man fronts. Why is it hard to understand why they can’t do it against goal line sets when the other team knows it’s coming?

Jumbo sets don’t work, especially under Mario. Need to spread some of the d out of the box

And even then we used a 6th OL and a FB often. With those elite players who as you said all made the league. The point is that Dawson abandoned it completely compared to last year. I wish he explained the reasoning for it.

Needed that laugh this morning thinking Dawson decides which olineman gets in games.. Mannnn

lol minus lofton, we don’t have that. If the coaches believes Gavin mueller and Owen are better run blockers then Cantwell, merriweather or hawks we got problems

Worked alot last year. Lol. Do we not recall that we ran 32 consecutive times on 3rd and 4th and 1 or 2 and were getting stuffed a decent amount, that everyone wanted Dawson stoned to death. Then Dawson made the comment about short yardage being mirabel and the mob wanted his head. The fact is you guys love to play the " did the play work game" if we run it up and there and pound the 1st. Everyone is like **** yeah. Bully ball impose your will. We get stuffed one time, Dawson is an idiot, should have done something else. Well no **** after you see the result. Miami likes to grind the ball which puts them in alot of short yardage situations. The more you attempt, the more you will see some fall short.
