I counted nine offensive linemen yesterday- Bunche, Feliciano, McDermott, Linder, Flowers, Henderson, Jones, Lewis and Wheeler.

Like or dislike?

I love it. Keeps all the guys happy and motivated.. It also allows us to have fresh bodies out there.
 
Love it. They are building depth because inevitably someone will go down. I even saw both Seantrel and Flowers get reps at left tackle. Kehoe and Fisch know that Bunche is a liability against speed rushers and they are seeing if someone else can do the job.

I'm glad that you mentioned this. At one point yesterday during the game I had a brainfart and said who the **** is Lewis? LOL

Normally, I'm not in favor of that. It's amazing to me that we got that type of production offensively playing that many guys. I need to rewatch the game and pay attention to when certain guys were playing.
 
I'm surprised it hasn't effected our pass blocking more than it has. I'm also surprised we have a monstrous line full of specimens who can't block people off the ball to save their lives. Difficult to know how/if this is related to that, but in general I would prefer you pick the best 5 and go, with some spot rests here and there.

Not a huge fan.

In the 1st quarter Jeremy Lewis had a false start and then got Morris killed on the next play. Wheeler missed a block on epic James' catch and run in the first half. The starters are starters for a reason.

The tackles seem to do a good job, and when you are bringing Seantrel off the bench it makes a ton of sense.

Not a fan of taking out Feliciano to play lewis, he made alot of mistakes in the second qtr and I think the coaches noticed because I dont think he played much in the second half. It can work against NCST but please keep taking out our best olineman to play lewis to a minimum against ND. Lewis would be overmatched against a guy like Tuitt

Edit: Just saw rok posted the same as me, yea he was bad a couple times guys got in and he didnt keep his head on a swivel, he got ripped by kehoe a couple times when he came off the field. It also help mask some of the breakdowns because Morris isnt a statue and can abandon the pocket once it breaks down but Lewis for sure should have his reps kept to a minimum unless we are playing BCC

I don't love it. I think OLs need consistency and cohesiveness to be dominant. Think that be part of the reason we can't get a good push in the run game despite having a monstrous OL.

I can see spelling a guy for a series if he's tired but hate the constant shuffling. I saw Flowers play both OT spots and I believe SH as well.

I'm scared to death of ND's front four against our OL.

McDermott vs Nix will keep me up at night this week.
 
Looks like Jermaine Johnson quit the the team. So maybe they are trying to keep from having more guys quit.

The problem with this team is that they are not playing there best 5. Linder should be our starting center, Bunche should probably be our right guard. Feliciano at left guard. Henderson and Flowers at the tackles.

So they are basically subbing in some guys who probably should be starting in the first place.

If Linder was our best center he'd ******* be playing it. Why do you think you know what's best for our team than the coaches who see them play everyday?

Im not a fan of it... playing oline, its alot about communication and knowing the guy next to you.

i played differently with different guards. different trust levels etc...
