Scarlet Overkill Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Looking for any reason for this, and looks like Seattle had a similar 'issue' last fall - https://www.sbnation.com/2017/9/25/16363040/seattle-seahawks-offensive-line-failing-very-badly-whiffed-blocks Quote Link to comment

Crazyhole Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 It looks worse than it was. The cut blocks werent good, but bunch still had time to get the ball out and hesitated. Not sure what was happening with the receiver here but that looked to be a quick pattern to me. Quote Link to comment

The OL needs to get their sh#t together. I thought they looked pretty decent in the CU game but we're atrocious in the Troy game. The drop off from Martinez to Bunch doesn't fully explain the disparity. They need to start doing it and quit talking to the media about it. I don't want to hear it anymore, I want to see it on the field. I rarely listen to the player interviews except for Tre Neal. Players have to show me something on the field before I consider their opinion worth listening to. I listen to all of the coach interviews. I'm dismayed at how feeble our line looks in that clip.

MichiganDad3 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 How many players are rotating on the OL? I only counted six. I was hoping for more so the guys are ready for next year. 1 Quote Link to comment

This is Scott Frost's plan..he has group cut blocks for his line. if you don't like this block, hold the coach responsible...it's by design. Here's a look at UCF: Interesting. I noticed a difference between the two, tho, the UCF guys immediatly all got back up. Our players just played possum. edit: oh, and they also made contact with the defensive players. So there's that, too. Boy, we really didn't do it right at all. 2 Quote Link to comment

Perhaps this was year 2 at UCF? It does show that appears to be by design. Just better execution. Much like not running time off the clock in game against CU. It's not what Frost does. I'm sure that technique is meant to actually work. Unfortunately, on that specific moment in time, it did not. I think the two examples, at least for me, solidify that this rebuild might take a little longer than anticipated. I'm thinking maybe Martinez makes that play and it doesn't matter what the OL did or didn't do. Quote Link to comment
Atbone95 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Oh, yes, of course - no one is (should?) be saying this wasn't on purpose. This was very much by design. Back to my point. Look at the correct video of UCF running it. Watch the video of us doing it. One, UCF offensive line is very coordinated. Not as "parallel" as you typically see, but they do all go the same direction. Very smooth and fluid. Two, our center just completely missed the call. He didn't attempt to cut, which leaves open gaps in your line with one guy to even attempt to block them. That linebacker doesn't blow up the play if he can't just waltz through the offensive line on the ground. 1 Quote Link to comment
Atbone95 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Three... Bunch isn't Milton, he's not a Heisman-level QB, I get it... but that's also on him. Get rid of the f'ing ball. Your offensive line went to the ground because the entire play revolves around you getting rid of the ball in roughly 1 second or less. If you don't get rid of it, don't complain when you get crunched. 2 1 Quote Link to comment

SHOCKER! This isn't a rebuild, it's a scorched earth reboot. Seniors were recruited by Bo 1 Quote Link to comment
