[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 752393, member: 2299"] They did get coached up. What you don't seem to comprehend is that coaching doesn't just happen over night. There is a reason most OLmen redshirt and don't make an impact until at least their rs sophomor year. That's because the position takes reps and experience and that isn't something you can expedite. Considering our previous offense wasn't getting guys reps in what we we were going to do to expect them to be able to make that transition in a year is beyond ridiculous, especially with the injuries to compound the issue. And yeah, there will be exceptions. But those guys were exceptions when they were in this offense and were the exceptions when they left. The same reason we didn't have 5 mason's on our OL when he was here is the same reason it's stupid to point to him as proof that everyone can make that transition smoothly. It wasn't the coaching that allowed Shaq to transition smoothly. It was his talent. Same with Braun and even then he saw a significant decrease in level of play in the new offense. There's no reason to point to players who were big exceptions while they were playing here as the standard for what you think a normal OL transition will be. As far as the option things go, just because an offense uses option concepts in terms of reads/pitches doesn't mean the OL is doing similar things. If you want to make comparisons then you should be focusing on the blocking concepts instead of the read portion. [/QUOTE]
