[QUOTE="Boomergump, post: 195401, member: 639"] I don't think anybody will be able to convince me that a single position group was primarily to blame for our season's results. What we had was a confluence of several factors. The sum of all of them led to a product that didn't win very much. As far as BB goes and the OL, who is to blame? I say both, although I hate to use the word blame. Saying we got no "push" up front really isn't true. We got beat a lot more with shifts and quickness this year than we did with brute force. In terms of the BB's in comparison to prior players, what we didn't get was consistency and ball security. I think MM was the most explosive guy we had in years and has easily the most potential. The problems with him were ball security, blocking, and general consistency. I don't have a lot of probem with his running style per se, but his hesitancy on occasion and proclivity to put the ball on the ground, halted some drives. Experience will fix a lot of his ills, I feel sure. There is a lot of talent there. He is the best we have with the ball in his hands, at any position. PS played hurt a lot, but he is what he is. I think he may play at the next level, but it won't be as a feature back. He is a physical blocker and that is what his role will be if he moves on. Sadly, at GT, the BB position requires more than blocking back mentality. We need good feet and vision as well. [/QUOTE]
