what is the OL standard?

OL gets trashed on here like they are a HS squad every day but what is the standard we are looking for.
FTR, I believe the OL has significant room to improve but on the other hand they are not terrible. More like middle of the pack.
My bonafides:
Sam Leavitt is leading SEC in passing yds and comp %
SEC QB sacked
1. Brown, Aub 35 times
2. Manning, Tx 27
3. Russell, Bama 24
4. Mateer, OU; Minchy, UK 21
6. Jackson, Ark 19
7. Sellars, SC 18
8. Reed, aTm 17
9. Curtis, Vandy; Taylor, Moo State 16
11. Leavitt, LSU 15
LSU #4 in SEC in Rushing
LSU #1 in SEC in Total Offense
So what is the standard?

Compared to last year this o line looks like the early 90’s redskins

I reallly don’t understand the hate for the o line. They’ve gotten better all season and it’s never gonna be perfect

Yards are easier between the 20s. Interior line play would improve our ability to consistently run. Our rushing stats are skewed by Leavitt running. Interior pressure against good teams has also rattled Leavitt.

As with most things, the truth lies between the two extremes.
They are not as bad as years past, but, they aren’t elite.
They are a first year squad that has improved game to game. They took an appropriate amount of shite for the Bama game as there was enough to go to every group.
You had untimely turn overs, drops, baffling defensive gaffes, and then the o-line getting bullied on short yardage plays.
They, like the rest of the team, will continue to improve and I expect great play to end the season.

How about getting a two yard push on the DL in front of them when we need 1 yd for a first down and a walk off win. When your coach doesn't have the confidence your Oline can to that, you are going to lose close games, and LSU does.

There aren't many teams that can consistently do this anymore.

O Line is so much better than last year. They get unwarranted hate here.
They aren't top in the country by an means, but the guys are solid.

The OL is the heart and soul of every team. Without a great one, YOU'RE (You Are) dead in the water.
OL Standards?
Mine are higher than yours and all the Pump Nuts.
LK's and BG 's standards? I hope they're (They Are) higher than what they brought in after they were hired. Outside of Seaton, their entire OL portal class was absolute trash!
Higher than BK's and Fat Scott's. (BK didn't GAS and Fat Scott was in love with the WOAT assistant coach in the history of LSU football. (#48 that caught that last second pass from Bert Jones against Ole Miss and Orgeron hired his arse, which was the beginning of the end.
Dumbo (Miles) had pretty good OL's.
Saban was the standard that we should return to.
Keep your eyes on what Kiffin and Glasscock do in the Portal OL wise.

O-line is ok.
Sam has not been with the team a year. He is still figuring out WR and such and the line and the playbook.

I’m really not sure how much more simple they could make the blocking assignments other than on, over, play side, backside. Other than pulling linemen, it’s pretty simple and easy to understand…

Who has an OL that is meeting the Rant standard or your standard? Most of the teams that are ahead of us QB’s are getting pummeled worse than ours…

The O-line is obviously well coached. There are gaps in talent, but they are very well organized and rarely flagged. The coaching there is a big step up this year.

Room for improvement especially at the guard positions

They’re not the worst, they’re just soft. They’ll get to the right people but they rarely displace the defender, and I can’t recall seeing any nasty finishes. This is a big reason for our redzone struggles (20 trips inside the 10, 11 touchdowns).

Sort of like the defense, they cave when it really matters
