[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 602903, member: 265"] Well, the original gripe was about the OL. Both of you are moving the goalposts. Again.So, a few points about the OL: • The old regime emphasized both speed [I]and[/I] flexibility [I]and[/I] endurance. The whole point of the blocking schemes was to get pad levels down. Way down. This, if you've put on some around the waist as you age, you will find harder to do with a gut. Same with moving fast for intense intervals for 3 - 4 hours. As in a football game. • This showed up in the later quarters for the team when we weren't playing, say, Clemson. It showed up most clearly when we played an opponent who hadn't faced us for awhile. We'd usually cut thiose teams - almost always bigger - to ribbons. • But, since you bring up the DL and overall conditioning, I'll say that we could have used more strength over there but I think that that was more because of the continuing (see the URLs on recruiting above) problem we have had at Tech of brining in top of the line DL talent. This is something I hope Coach addresses successfully as he goes on.. • Finally, this isn't to say that I think our present S&C staff aren't pretty good. It is obvious they are. I think the present program, well-suited to a shotgun O - will pay off. And I Ialso hope it'll help on the D side. [/QUOTE]
