I just don’t see how a team without a dominating OL benefits from a formation that doesn’t even include its best player (which to me is JB) and tips that the play is always going to be a run. I think defenses like FSU, Louisville and Clemson are going to have a field day with it.
Ryebread, Thank you for the respectful discussion you are having with Mr.DOG and foose. Since you and I started this conversation, I hope you don’t object if I step in. I’m not going to repeat what I said in my previous post but it goes with what I have to say here.
Perhaps we ARE building a dominate OL. I have little evidence except I believe in our assistant coaches abilities AND the improvement from last year. Coach Veldkampt is an important piece of the equation. I assert (there I go again) that our new recruits will become the dominant OL we seek.
Let’s be real here about the defense knowing exactly what we are doing. Often defenses know the offense is going to run and can’t do a damn thing about it. Are we there yet? Hell, no. Are we building for it? I believe we are.
Now, do what Coach Valvano told Coach Esposito to do in ’83: “Think a good thought.” 😉
