[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 205045, member: 265"] Well, some of these speeds seem off (JT, Gantt), but the jist is right: we didn't have much speed on the field last year, but we sure will in 2016. As I've said here before, I think a lot of our blocking problems last year were due to the O running so much more slowly then in 2014. Jt could usually count on 2 or more of the "skill backs" behind him not having: a) a clue of what they were doing half the time, b) an ability to block (I mercifully leave out the question of blocking the right man), or c) the speed to keep up with him. This meant the OLs had to hold their blocks longer and having attendant troubles. As this post points out, these problems will soon be a vague memory. [I]However[/I], speed wasn't our main problem last year. The big fail was our inability to set the dive satisfactorily. Luckily, we have plenty of competition at BB and I think we'll be able to fashion the usual two-headed monster out of the prospects. Probably be a bit quicker too overall. That'll help no end. As for Cottrell: if anyone can answer the Cheeseman's query, I'd be interested to know. Having him healthy going into fall could make a major difference in our performance. [/QUOTE]
