WHY IS NOONE WORRIED ABOUT THE O-LINE?

It seems that everyone focuses on the skill positions, but the weakness of the 09 team was the O-Line...we gave up a ton of sacks and could not control the line of scrimmage against anyone this year...remember when we could always get a yard on the ground...that is why we could go fo it on 4th and short...noone seems to have cared that we lost the big JC guy to Neb...Does anyone (besides me) covet Damien Rabinson from MS (6'8" 330") who is reportedly strong enough to start as a true freshman - the next coming of Herman Johnson!

Have you not seen the depth chart?

I agree,have more than enough skill players and not enough big eaters.Dillion Day is another O-line prospect LSU let get away.

With the RS Freshmen from last year and the 2011 class, I'm not worried. I don't see anyone out there that we could pick up this late that could help us this year.

I have - which is why I am worried...how many 300 pounders on that depth chart? Does anyone think that Barksdale can play LT in the SEC when who routinely got beat at RT? both C's are undersized...Did Josh "Jurassic" push anyone off the line of scrimmage for a crutial yard? Black won the blocker award itn eh SEC but it was obviuously a career award as he did not play up to his potential...Again too many sacks and no running game...That means weak O-line

Search....it's your friend

Noone out there...Damien Robinson is a top 25 OL on Rivals which says this about him:
Conclusion: Physically big enough to compete right now, so he may see playing time early on depending on the depth chart. Do not be surprised if he is cross-trained as an right offensive tackle/offensive guard in order to get his size and strength on the field earlier. Robinson could become a real road grader as a run blocker before his career is over.
Also - look at all the people after him!

Longeran, Hurst, and Blackwell will all contribute nicely next year

I would suggest that you read up on Robinson a little more.

I'm worried about the Oline, but not because of recruiting or depth.
Posted on 1/22/10 at 11:22 am to LawyerDan
Collins and Robinson next year. Also I think Jordan Allen would be perfect as an OT. I do agree it was a mistake letting Dillon Day go though.

If these guys are soooo good...why didn't that play this year...neither Center impressed me, Guards - Dworaczyk was subpar for the SEC..Hurst was a OK, what little we saw, but still I did not see any gaping holes in the middle when he was in there, Tackle is a nightmare - Barksdale got beat regularly and will continue to do so and if Faulk were so good to go to LT, why wasn't he at RT this year in place of Barksdale...AND only 3 of the starting 5 are over 300 lbs..which is just not big enough in the SEC these days.

No, that means Stud the "Dud' needs to be fired. He is the weak link in the coaching staff.

Im inclined to believe its the whole damn chain.
Posted on 1/22/10 at 11:35 am to FightinTiga
Searles was biggest loss in coaching staff in last 3 years...but the entire depth chart has an averge weight of 301 lbs...and has too many 270-290 guys...
