I don't know why we can't draft good ones. Also agree with the wideouts... no excuse for all of the dropped passes. I could had done better. I think it has to do with the type of offense mostly seen in FL, which is geared toward smaller faster o line. At least I thought I read that somewhere. And also its a lot harder to find athletic big men for the line. Its funny though. My dad and uncle were all conference tackles in high school in Florida in the 30s and 40s and were considered big at 165 and 185lbs. In any event this is something that has to be fixed... hell Tag and Judy need to drive the O-Line down to CiCi's and force feed them. We need them bigger and more imobile.

There is a lot to be said about how difficult it is to find good, athletic, talented lineman. This is why many college teams started to go to the zone blocking, read-option offense. That is why Leavitt preferred that offense. It is a lot easier to have some success by recruiting great athletes at QB than to try to fill out a 2 deep lineup with those big strong roadpavers. It is a lot easier in college to find that one special athlete like BJ or Grothe or Pat White or RGIII, spread the field and create space and let the best athlete on the field do his thing.

LOL Or at least it did when I tried them several years back, had better frozen. More like Golden Corral. But actually I think the kind of linemen we want and need are going to P5, they are scarce. You hear skill position players all the way down to DII getting into the NFL, but not a lot of O linemen. But I LMAO when I read this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got to do a better job recruiting this position for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean We cannot abandon the spread if we want to have success this year but it will take 3-4 years to install his offense and to get his players in. Unfortunately bulls fans wont last that long. You guys asked for pro style...you got it!! hope your happy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our offense isn't very good and we played one of the best defenses in college football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have any talent on offense at any position (except maybe running back). QBs suck, o-line sucks, WRs suck. We might as well snap straight to our running backs and just cycle them, sit the QB and put in an extra linen for blocking. We have ZERO passing threat.

And I do agree that our offensive line (imaginary line?) gets muscled around a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Change comes at a price. Can't getaway without paying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
