What you may not see is that the playcalling will inherently make the OLine better...when the defense is confused and DOESNT KNOW WHAT YOU'RE RUNNING things get a tad bit easier on the Oline...

Football is about wining match ups. You can be as creative as you want but if you your OL is getting consistently whipped your going to have more bad  plays than good. See florida state last season they were one of the top teams in the country in explosiveness metrics but had one of the worst offenses in the country. You lose the more than you win up front and things get bad, very bad.

Line of scrimmage if playing the power game however if everyone knows the play than even if you have the matchup you will lose.   How did we go from scoring 14 to 34 overnight in 2014 to 2015, maximize your matchups and take advantage of the mismatches, spread it out and exploit, plus our O line has a year under the belt

I'm hopeful and pretty Bullish on Bell but I need to see some Improvement from the OL. I think we take a few weeks to get settled in. There's sure to be lots of growing pains with the offense going from no playbook to a very detail oriented offense with a big playbook. Also, keep in mind this may be the first real college playbook many of these guys have seen. I also think we don't end the year with the same OL that we start it with.

We started catching the **** football for the one thing. That made a huge difference. Adams was sooo unreliable when Hey first got here and Q made a big step forward with his accuracy.

When you're grounded the highs are so much higher and lows aren't so bad. It's a pretty great place to be IMO

It is...but when there are more defenders then Olineman well then...things tend to fall apart.. these aren't a bunch of talentless Freshman...this unit will be much improved

Also try blocking a bunch of defenders when they are running to the ball knowing exactly what is going to be ran...our prior dip#$it of an OC actually gave the defense an unfair advantage...

Good luck effectively moving the ball between the chains in 3 downs. I am going to bend, but not break. Your offense is new, players are going to be confused and/or make mistakes. WR and TE will run the wrong routes. The timing on throws will be off. The RBs will miss blocking assignments, as will O-linemen. My point is that you don't want to get beat by explosive plays. I will take my chances with forcing the offense to be efficient in order to be effective and, the first game of the season and the first game with a new offense, that will be difficult to do. 

SPEED. I don't think you can keep everything in front of you. 

Now my defense? Uh, maybe?

YES that does help but that doesn't explain guys getting whipped 1 on 1 and Blake getting the crap beat out of him due to bad pass pro, especially from the tackles. If you think that was all Gilbert you weren't paying attention....
