re: Miles recruiting prowess

Billy Cannon wouldn't have been able to run behind our O-Line. The O-Line and the coaching of same was the problem. I read in the paper that Stud told Miles he was going to worker harder next year. What did he do this year, sit on his butt? Based on some of the selected starters and their performance, one has to assume he sat on his butt. No excuse for the poor O-Line performance. The blame is squarely on Stud.

I agree that the O-line was the major problem last year. I wondered all season whether the problem was coaching, talent, or scheme. (I read an article by Rosetta in the Advocate that contended that Crowton's scheme might have been too complicated, not only for Jefferson, but for the line as well.) I STILL don't know what to think about the line. Based on what I've seen Miles do with assistants, though, I would suspect that he knows what the problem was and will get it fixed this year. I'm sure that if he was convinced that Stud was indeed the problem, he would have let him go. So maybe the problem lies elsewhere...or perhaps Miles is giving him one more year to get the line fixed. But, in any case, I'll be REAL curious to see how the line is next year. I know one thing, however...no o-line, no offense.
