Until we start getting OL commits, nothing else matters

[skibbyskibby]

We need to sign a class of Donaldson, Herbert, Slaton, Telfort, Baker and Hillery or all the skill position talent just won't matter.

Firm believer that championship teams build from the inside out, land elite O and D lines and the rest is easy to fill in with the abundance of skill players in SoFlo. Imperative we get this O line recruiting class right.

Tell this to Louisville. Their OL had to have graded out worse yesterday than ours has all season and they put up 50+ points. Stop looking for scapegoats every year.

Louisville is the exception not the rule. Not to mention Petrino isn't walking through our doors anytime soon

Right it's Petrino and definitely not the South Florida QB they have.

 

[Otowncane]

Yes it's Petrino. He is a proven winner despite off field issues.

 

[jkaz1]

Yep. Get it done. Excuses are for under-performers....

You guys are killing me with these comparisons. Our offense is designed to keep Brad alive. Not sure if you have watched any games but you cant compare an offense thats scoring 50 to one thats legitimately scared for their QBs safety. This is the worst oline in our history. If we played straight up we would have double figure sacks against any team with a decent d line.

Louisville's offensive line is the biggest reason that they are winning. They are creating huge holes for the RB's and providing a clean pocket for the QB. That line is way better than ours.

Not sure if you've watched any of the games either, but Louisville is pretty much the exact same offensive scheme and surrounding talent, with the sole difference being the QB. When your line breaks down but you can run up the middle for 15 yards people tend to forget about the O Line. We are the University if Miami and we had Lamar Jackson in our backyard. We need to focus on keeping guys like him home. Al Golden is gone, we don't need this to be a big 10 team anymore.

I can't believe I just read that. Holy ****.

Petrino has been a offensive guru long.l before Lamar. Not saying Lamar isn't amazing but he's not just a one man team. Louise like is a. Wry well coached team

 

[Mikesmith29150]

I agree with OP. Championships are won with good ol and dl. Last I checked Petrino hasn't won a title. Teams that are good in the trenches are perennial 10 win teams and always in the national championship discussion with SOLID qb play.

Not disagreeing with any of this, except that their OL collapses just as much as ours does. The difference is Lamar hits his throws when he has protection and can escape a broken down pocket instead of getting sacked every single time it happens. No one even talks about their OL because Lamar makes so many plays. Just remember this in 1-2 years when we have 3-4 of our OL drafted, there will be quite a number of revisionists around here.

Lamar "hitting his throws" huh? I don't see Lamar making many tough throws. The running game breaks down the pass protection leaving a lot of wide open receivers. They also scheme to get guys in space. Something we don't do here. Lamar has a strong arm but there are many throws he struggles with. He also is asked to make very simple reads. You'll notice how quick he is to run if his first read isn't there.

 

[orange&green84]

I agree. Lamar Jackson is good in his own right. But it's not like this is the first amount of success that Petrino has had. This isn't a Charlie Strong situation where the only modicum of success he's had exists only with Teddy Bridgewater.

Then you are either blind or you need to watch their games again.Jackson has tons of time and they can run on 3rd and 3 with a RB and convert it.

Didn't say they were tough, but he recognizes when a guy is open and hits them more often than not. I'm not saying he makes NFL quality decisions and makes NFL quality throws but he does what he needs to succeed at this level. He's the one who's going to be in New York this December, not Brad. The only way Brad will be in NY is if we are playing in the Pinstripe Bowl.
