We run block much better than we pass block. That’s not new. We were a much better run blocking than pass blocking team last year. King is under pressure a good percent of dropbacks. He is very good at avoiding sacks.I thought that Brian Smith dude was full of crap, myself.
He acted like he knew a lot about the sport and was the smartest guy in the room. Those people are usually NOT the smartest ones in the room.
- the reason we didn't pass as much wasn't because our pass blocking was bad it was because our coaches knew we could attack their front seven with our OL/TE/RB/QB rather than challenge their actual good players in the secondary plus that way we could make the game fewer possessions
- He said FSU couldn't get "up" for the game. Let me say if they couldn't get up for a game against an ACC opponent to prove that they are too good for the ACC and do so on worldwide TV with no other games in competition for college football eyeballs then they have bigger problems than their QB
- He was even condescending to the other dude on the show
To be fair he was impressed with Haynes King's speed and no, not everything he said was bogus. I just think he got a few really big things wrong.
This is something to keep an eye on as the season progresses.
And yes our coaches understand our strengths and play to them.
