Don't hate on Pocic. He will do fine against any other D. We as a unit match up well with most lines except for Bama. Our main issue on offense is not being able to attack with a complete passing game. That is on having an incomplete QB (but one who has improved and can become complete) and WRs with the dropsies.

A stable and more complete passing game and Can would call a different game and stick with the passing. CLM over rides him and goes conservative once one thing goes wrong. Fault CLM for his paranoia and post 2008 syndrome.

Not hating on Pocic at all, one of my favorite lineman. I believe he's every bit as capable at LT than Whit was/is. That's how highly I think oh him. He's just playing center out of necessity. He'd make a fine OT

Again, he is a great talent and a very good offensive lineman, but realistically his height is an extreme disadvantage and there is a reason for that.

Unlike the other 4 OL, the center is having to do basically a boomerang action to block after snapping. When you are taller, as others have stated, your center of gravity is much higher and to get back to a position where you are at a strength is more difficult and takes longer. That means any NT worth his salt is going to be at a huge advantage, and it was seen in the Bama game. You saw it a bit in the UF game, but because UF doesn't have the LBers that Bama does it gets overlooked.

You'll see him struggle likely in a similar way against Ole Miss.
