I made a thread about the center being weak a couple weeks ago and got blasted, now its common knowledge on here that McDermott's a liability. meh.
Anyway, I can see where people look at how there's been two defensive coordinators now and its been the same result, so it's either on Kehoe or the line just isn't that good. But Coley is still using a lot of aspects of Jedd's offense and still running stretch and zone running plays. This could still be up to scheme.
Has Kehoe coached a lot of zone running when he was here before?
What does it mean when you have such solid pass protection but such bad run blocking? Is it a coincidence that pretty much the entire line excels at one but not the other? How is that we trust our line against the best pass rushers in college but we can't blow FAU off the ball? Probably has a lot to do with what Gogeta just mentioned
its common knowledge the center spot with Mcdermott is the "weak link".....i dont know wh o blasted you...
But generally most of the board would go with Linder @ Center even though hes likely our best guard.
Mcdermott isnt that strong...and imo when makes contact doesnt run his feet enough...he probably knows all the calls...and is solid...against a Dom Easley...just being solid gets your lunch money took.
Oh it isnt just on our side though....That Harrison @ UF is likely their best lineman......he imo got his sh*t pushed in by Curtis Porter and Justin Renfrow....Harrison said after the game he couldnt give the w to um that they gave it away...i lol'd.....go watch the film...he got NO MOVEMENT on CP all game...ii mean CP would just press out on dude and it looked like Harrison was in quicksand...same with Renfrow came in. I loved it...It free'd up Perryman ALL GAME....
* On the fact of our good pass pro....Its probably this....In pass pro we usually have a FAN Protection called to whatever side..which is outside guys first...so @ Times Seantrel could be catching a blitzing cb because his head is suppose to be outside...and in pass pro our guys genuinely know who their blocking..wellw ith our behemoths if they know who their getting and get their hands on u.......FINITO..Flowers locks up on u and your like a guy getting kicked out of CLUB LIV..Same with Hendo.
* In the zone run blocking scheme im telling you....you relly dont have a man persay...on a outside zone run the tackle alot of times would just run his guy off..and head up field...like i said before you have an area..which allows for lanes....well when one guy in the zone scheme trips over his foot...the area he has is vacated and now theres a dl there and maybe a blitzing lb..PLAY dead. When guys are unsure who to block..guess what happens thy fire off the ball and get no one @ times..also when dlineman get up the field quick in the zone scheme it screws it up and you would end up with guys picking up a guy that they didnt expect to be there wile letting another run free.....
Man i understand it being i played in it....and @ times our offense in college looked like sh*t running the ball...pretty much most of the time....because of what i said above...but we generallyw ere solid in pass pro. Against UF alot of what is aid above happened from my rewatch of the game..and generally some guys got beat head to head.
