[QUOTE="Heisman's Ghost, post: 831964, member: 4015"] Getting really good linemen, according to my Florida friends on Gator Bait, is what separates the elite football teams from the wannabes, the also rans, and the doormats. They are generally not well coached in high school, often times are big enough but not quick enough, not the right body type, require much more coaching, strength training, and development and in general are a constant source of frustration for coaches. I don't really know and doubt anyone has ever studied this but I would not be surprised if out of all the position groups, highly touted offensive linemen particularly tackles and defensive tackles have the highest percentage of busts. It would be an interesting topic to research though it would be hard to quantify just what is a true "bust" and who are the "highly touted". To be sure, we do not have enough linemen and have not had enough linemen for what seems like ages. I am inclined, against popular wisdom, to give Coach Key a pass on this. I think it is the circumstances of injuries, depending too much on the portal, and perhaps some recruits not panning out. IIWII [/QUOTE]
