Smelter Olive Branch

We've got one of our best wide outs in recent memory publicly offering his support

 

[Sean311]

Yes please. We need all the help we can get.

Can we get Jemea Thomas to work with the secondary too?

Can we get Jemea Thomas to work with the secondary too?

Especially before Clemson next year

 

[MidtownJacket]

That’s a real strong positive. Would be great for some of our pro players to come back and lead some off season work. Plus if it’s unorganized it doesn’t eat team time limits right?

One of my concerns for the last three seasons has been the inability of our receivers to get separation. Smelter was the master of that. He wasn’t our fastest receiver but he had good technique and was quick at finding open seams in the defense.

I appreciate this offer, but with an OL this bad there isn’t much he can do to help.

There are guys getting open. We just haven’t had the protection to find them or the QB has missed.

That being said, Smelter was fantastic at finding soft spots in zones as well as attacking the ball in the air. Any help he provides would be a plus.

We need Morgan Burnette, Jemea Thomas, and Chris Milton to work with the DBs more than anything.

I’ll toss in DJ White. That dude could fly and cover. And he hustled. And he made Hutson Mason one of my favorite college QB’s!

 

[Tech93]

Smelter was one of my favorites. Great athlete and class act.

Most of the sacks we suffer are because no one was open from what I’ve observed.

Then you are observing incorrectly. Most of the sacks are because the QB has about .2 seconds from the time he gets the snap until he starts having to run for his life while 4 of our 5 linemen stand around looking clueless and not blocking anyone.

I’ll just say our o line sucks and our receivers are average at best.

 

[Spalding Jacket]

Need Andrew Gardener to come help with the offensive tackles and Shaq Mason with the guards and Sean Bedford with the Center

Are former players about to fix the issues we're all seeing?

I think that represents a small percentage of our sacks. There are so many times I see an Offensive lineman blocking no one and a player running unblocked to the QB. If we blocked better, I’d expect the coverage sacks to go up but that isn’t the issue at the moment.

Prior to Notre Dame we just weren’t getting open. At Notre Dame the problem was no time to throw.

It hasn’t been all one or the other this year.

But receivers not getting open down field has been a problem. Even with Sims’ ability to extend the play by moving around there were receivers who still couldn’t separate.

 

[MidtownJacket]

This makes me excited

We also need Morgan Burnettes, Jemea Thomas', and Chris Miltons to show up on campus
