[QUOTE="33jacket, post: 42094, member: 628"] not overreacting. Every snap at one position is the lack of getting that snap at another. The fact we lost 3 starters to graduation etc, is more of a reason why you need continuity, so the young guys rep in their spot. We are always dealing with injuries on the OL. 6 years of it. You follow tech football close as anyone. Can you ever remember a 6 year stretch of position chaos on the OL like under paul? Do you realize Will Jackson played every spot on the OL but center in his last two years? I never remember seeing that ever at a bigtime D1 school. he played 3 positions last year alone (both tackles and guard). Our only two lockdown spots under paul have been center and right guard. I mean sure we had guys injured in the past, but in a spot here or there. 6 years under chan you had guys like Wrotto, tuminello, gardner, howard, rhodes, etc lock down their spot and play it for years; yes wrotto started out as a DT. But once he moved he locked in that gaurd spot and stayed there. Very little rotation and cross training. Same under Oleary, Nat dorsey, robinson, chris brown, craig page etc. Yes we had injuries there too...but again, we knew who was where, what the starting 5 was, and who the prime backups where. Now were GOL And Chan great at OL or recruiting no not necessarily, better than now? Maybe who knows. But the fact is we had a predictable and more stable OL system than what I see now and I really believe those teams were better on OL than we have been, more All-ACC and more All-Americans than under paul. I just know how important OL staying together is in that units development. Its huge. And I am convinced its a major factor why we have had trouble the last few years.
