re: The rants 2 favorite coaches helped get John Emery jr

Couple of things

- Lewis, Deculus and Cushenberry were all 1st year starters. Deculus and one of the other 2 were not even starters coming into the year.

- when "Brumsfield" went out in the middle of our toughest stretch of games, we were down to 4th string G, or in this case, your old RT.

- We started 4 different LTs & 3 different RT

- Offensive line play is so dependent on cohesion and playing together. And when Charles misses games, and "Brumsfield" misses games, these guys are missing reps together. You are mixing and match guys out of position at this point, because even though you want to twist it like it is normal, its not, and no one has that kind of depth to withstand what happened to LSU this year. You're pulling Deculus over to LT, that means new RT starter. Magee and Charles hurt together, your 2 start Tackles to start the year, you go to Traore. Your other starting guard in Ingram is already out to begin the season.


Having to start 9 different OL (not including INgram) is not "Every team deals with OL injuries".


and for frick sakes for the good of this board, proofread your posts.

I'm not even going to speak to Ben, because he is absolutely idiotic.

Is the argument right now, that LSU's offensive line sucked, therefore the offense was terrible. And FSU's line was also terrible, and having a good QB and RB did them no good? But LSU signing two good RBs will solve all LSU's problems, unlike it did for FSU. And that the OLine they claimed was terrible for LSU will somehow return as a dominating OLine in the SEC?

I haven't read back, so correct me if I'm wrong (not a village idiot though. Someone with over three brain cells please).

Ben, you should take notes. This is a post that is presented in a well thought out manner, with reasoning behind his opinions. Even if people don't agree with the opinion, it is at least well thought out and can lead to better discussions.

The last 2 months we had an injury at LG and that’s it.

The last month we had no injuries.

I am Not saying injured OL isn’t an excuse, I’m saying after September we most of our OL set the rest of the season, but didn’t really progress.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaand FSU fired their OC.

They didn’t just hope next year would be better.

The offensive line played worse in November, when it was relatively healthy, than it did when they were constantly rotating guys in.

I don't think there can be any argument that we had OL issues. Whether it was injuries, talent or coaching can be debated. As much heat Grimes got he had the OL performing better at the end of 2017. I can't say the same for Cregg, but it may be personnel. Honestly IDK. I'd give Cregg another year to implement his system, but it hasn't looked good so far.

It's possible to point to personnel deficiencies and coaching as issues. I'm very skeptical of SE so the posters that are applauding my latest posts will likely downvote me now.

I'm just trying to be objective which usually gets me attacked by both sides.

Burrow gets his fair share of blame. He consistently failed to identify pressures. That's something both he and Cushenberry have to get better at.

That's the way it tends to go sometimes.

we played Ole Miss in September

And we had our best offensive game of the year against them.


PLEASE GENIUS LESTER!

EXPLAIN TO ME HOW THIS IS POSSIBLE?

IT BLOWS MY POOR MORTAL MIND!!!!!

Logical? No. We don't who is/isn't returning for sure yet

Really? Who do you think would possibly be leaving besides Brumfield the senior?

But but but OL

The cohesiveness

We were missing 3 starters.

Playing people out of position

Our maybe

All that is bullshite and the reason we looked like shite most of the year is because we weren’t good enough.

We looked better last year when we returned 2 starters, moved one of them to center, played 2 true freshmen at 2 different positions and lost out LT mid season.

Lastbyear Malone misses 6 games, Weathersby missed 2 fil games and had injury issues in others. We alternated Charles and Ingram and RG, played Charles at Rg, RT and LT. And STILL played better.
