After re-watching the game here is whats wrong with the O-Line

The two freshmen Ingram and Charles are completely lost. They simply are not ready to play SEC football. Both at times are helping double team the Defensive end leaving the linebacker an open gap to the QB, and Syracuse did this all night long. Ingram really struggles picking up blitz's and gives up free shots on the QB, but is very good with blocking 1v1. When Charles came in the O-line as a whole played better because they picked up blitz's better, but Charles kept whiffing on his blocks.
The two tackles need to stop going in motion. Every time Weathersby goes to the left side he gets beat to the outside because he is just not quick enough to that side.
Summary: These freshmen are really killing the O-Line as a whole and until Ingram learn blitz's and Charles learns to block his man this team will really struggle. The entire teams performance week in and week out will directly result what these two freshmen do.

Sun Belt-SWAC level talent combined with the clown that coaches and recruited them to LSU = What you see is what you get and the current situation at LSU.
I'm sure O knows this and is just waiting for Mawae to complete his coaching apprenticeship with the Bears before brining him in. 2018............

Yeah those guys shouldn't even be counted on right now, Maea Tuehema should be the starting RG with Campbell as the backup.

I agree that Grimes is what's wrong with the O-Line.
He needs to really work on the struggles that Charles and Ingram have, some cited above.
In addition, I am wondering just how good he is at evaluating talent and deciding which line recruits to pursue.
A personnel change here should be seriously considered.

Some want to blame Grimes. I am not convinced. I’m sure people were in the ears of these guys lamenting the fiasco surrounding the firing of Miles and the hiring of O. Also with recruiting wiffs, I’m sure they’re getting an earful of “do you really want to get stuck in that mess at LSU” from recruiting coordinators.

Agreed and I thought Magee played better

Then stop with play-action and stay in shotgun

Duh...He's not coaching for the Bears. Try to keep up.

You probably picked up on the bigger problem but if you watch the 'every pass' compilation our LT looked really bad on multiple plays. Hard to watch that.

I definitely agree about the motioning lineman. It needs to stop. Every time they motion a tackle there is a missed assignment.

Todd McClure explained that they're getting picked - the end is doing this deliberately because they're playing too far forward and aggressively in pass blocking. They need to ride back to the pocket line and block as a unit. This is common, in my opinion, for young guards who usually master run blocking assignments first. Pass blocking, depending on the play call is essentially a unit assignment. The tackle will often times have an individual assignment, but either the guard is blocking a lane with the tackle or the guard is blocking the middle with the center (and other guard) - all depending on the alignment and number of blitzers identified.
This was supposed to be the big benefit of having Clapp at C - he is supposed to be running the line calls. At this point, I'd rather try Cush out there at C with Clapp at guard until the young guards get the hang of pass protection.
Just my $0.02.

I agree with everything you said.
If we had better protection we would be in a much better situation as a team.

interesting....

Cushionberry needs to go to center move clapp to guard. Put Delphis to Rt
Posted on 9/25/17 at 10:03 am to Ace Midnight
That's actually a pretty darn good idea. Try Cush at C and move Clapp out to G. If it doesnt work out, just move Clapp back. If it does work, we now have a functional oline.... low risk, VERY HIGH reward.

What's sad is we're even getting pressure in the quick game. We almost have to use play action to freeze the defense because we can't block them. They essentially have to block themselves by us maybe tricking them into at least thinking about the run for a split second.

Well - let's not go crazy. The tackles haven't been all-conference performers, either.
But, if we can shore up the middle of the line on pass protection, I think we've got something to build on. And I do think that the young guards are going to be great - better than great, but they're just not there yet.

Agree. I read an article by Ross Dellenger where QBs were pressured on 14 of 25 drop backs.... YIKES
