[QUOTE="GTBandit22, post: 877589, member: 69"] From rewatching some games from last year, we were bad on the OL, which is understandably agreed upon. What made it seem even worse was our execution in other parts of the offense. There were plays that stuck out where a rusher was let through unmolested but there were also plays where they blocked well enough but we missed a zone read, where they blocked well enough but a pass sailed, they blocked well enough but the back ran in front of the blocker instead of off his butt. We also didn’t help ourselves out. It’s tough to block 6 with 5 on 3rd and forever. It’s tough to hold off blitzes when you rarely attempt and even more rarely hit a screen or TE dump off. I’m hoping that Long will maximize our chances to keep drives alive and moving the chains. Our offense over the last two years have been feast or famine, and even getting chunk yards, we were one critical mistake away from putting us in distances that let the front 7 pin their ears back, and killed drives. In both the Pitt and Duke games, they had 8 in the box on every 1st and 2nd and long and dared us to throw. With our lack of short passing prowess and lack of screen game, we either ran into the teeth of the defense or attempted to get off long passes, which made our OL look even worse than they were. I don’t know how good we will be there this year, but I’m hoping we scheme to give them more help than we did last season. Keeping blockers in, screens, draws, dump offs. The works. [/QUOTE]
