re: Wanna get really pissed off: LSU OL grades out best unit on Pro football focus

The line was very up and down, dominating at times and looking lost at others. However, they do make a good point that most of us have known all along. The biggest weakness on the O Line is at the Tackles, and it's been this way for a few years now. That's where the bulk of th pressure comes from in pass protection. It's where a lot of the penetration on run plays comes from.

Another thing they don't bear in mind is that Pocic sometimes had trouble getting any push at Center against the best D Lines. It's because he's too tall to be a Center, but Miles never cared about that when it could have made a difference. At least Grimes tried to play him some at Tackle, but with the injuries we had this year, that's a difficult thing to try and implement mid-season.

The bottom line is that the interior isn't really the issue, especially going forward. We need Deculus to hit the ground running and Weathersby to stay healthy. We need real Tackles.

Relax...wow, didn't mean to create an emotional event.

In the WISC game we had net 126 yds rushing, and lost the TOP battle 23.x to 36.x mins. We were 2 for 10 on 3d downs. OL missed whiffed on key blocks all day, and did little to help sustain drives. Reports after the game said the same about the overall play...go back and check.

Looking back at the UF game we did play better, but I guess the fact that we couldn't get 1 yd on two plays that resulted in a L at the end of the game still sticks out in my mind...
