[QUOTE="SOWEGA Jacket, post: 829956, member: 4334"] All of this begs the question - what do we do in practice? If Pitt can run simple twists and our OLine can’t see it and react then why? Do our players not take pride in their position? Do our coaches not care? We had an entire off season and they still don’t recognize a twist? There are fields all over Atlanta for the players to jump in a couple of cars and get in some extra work without coaches. Baseball players don’t just wait until baseball season to hit. Pitchers don’t not work on stuff in the off season. Hoopsters don't work on their handles only during the winter. OLinemen have one freaking job - block someone. How hard is it to learn about the few tricks like twists that a defensive lineman may use? That‘s literally their only job. They don’t have to learn a route tree or learn to pick a hole or learn where everyone else is on the field. OLinemen only need to know where the play is going and then block someone. These video clips of our OLinemen just flailing because a defender plays peek a boo is more depressing than anything else I’ve seen and I loathe the OP for pointing it out (not really). It’s almost like they have no pride. And if they simply can’t react then why are they getting a $80,000 to $100,000 scholarship? Do they close their eyes when blocking? Gibbs and Mason can see a guy coming from the opposite side and can get there to make a block, but an OLineman can’t see the 2 fat guys in front of him are switching spots?
