Seriously, WTF happened to our OLine?

We were pretty good last year. We absolutely blow this year. I don't want to hear ,"they are stacking the box". I have seen with my own eyes guys getting their arse beat one on one. Pass protection might be worse then the run blocking. Guys getting whooped that didn't get whooped last year! WTF rant? Jeff Grimes? New system? It's a cunundrum...

A competent passing game

Did you guys run a zone blocking scheme last year? That's one thing Grimes loves to do, and the main reason he and Malzahn didn't exactly get along in their time at Auburn.

That is part of it, but they are getting beat one on one. It's bad. In 2012 we were able to run on stacked boxes without a real solid passing game.

Couldn't block 3 guys for the Hail Mary.
91 owned our arse all night.

Interior line is soft. Tackles are alright, but the our guards can't fire off the ball and get low. They're big though, so they don't get forced into the backfield very often. Like I don't think we've been tackled for a loss on a single running play up the middle once this year. Our O-line is built for a spread attack, something we couldn't run with AJ. If we start Harris, I suspect you'll see more spread principles come into play, forcing teams to only put 5-6 men in the box, allowing our line to focus on their matchups rather than worry about 8 guys blitzing because they don't respect our ability to pass the ball. This would also help our run game tremendously, since there wouldn't be 8 men in the box every time we hand the ball off. Of course, this is all predicated on Harris starting and being able to throw the ball consistently.

We went from a lot of man on run blocking last year to zone this year, and pass blocking looks abysmal this year too

The zone blocking schemes seem to be a problem.. That alone doesn't explain why 91 and others ate our fricking lunch all night..

you are absolutely correct. it isn't just the predictability of the play calling. When you can't punch it in from 2 yards out on 4 attempts, the OL has a problem. although the coaches should recognize this and run another play. football isn't always about physically imposing your will on the other team

Porter out, Porter in
I think they said they moved all kinds of folks around for this game...

It absolutely has to be Les. There is a ton of talent and experience on that line. If 90% of the other coaches took over our team, our line would absolutely dominate. Everybody on TD knows that. If the talent and experience is there, it must be the coaching. Losing Turner couldn't have affected the line this much. Maybe learning new blocking schemes is part of the problem.

Collins and Hawkins have been good.
V Alexander has been disappointing; seems to be suffering from Joe Barksdale syndrome.
Porter has been awful.
Fanaika has been underwhelming.
Pocic has been inconsistent.
I expected our DL to be troubling this year. I did not expect the OL to be disappointing.

Malone was getting snaps at C, Fanaika was at LG, Pocic was at RG, Boutte was getting a few reps.
We seem to be searching for answers but failing to find any.

lol. didn't someone speculate that every time we had OL issues under Stud that it was because we had switched to zone blocking?
Posted on 9/21/14 at 9:37 pm to TigerBlood17
Grimes replaced Stud.

Let Miles concentrate on the OL and let Cam run the offense.
