What's up with our player development? Thomas has been getting worked exactly like that since his freshman year. Dobbs looks the same. All these dudes just look the same. Where's the year-to-year improvement?

Man, it sure looks like our offensive line took a big step back during the off-season. It's like the line we had the year before last, in '14.

This is one of my biggest concerns from the game. He played really poorly.

The OL looked bad as a unit, and Thomas's poor play still stood out.

Its hard to play well when the defense knows the play before the snap. run Hurd 2 gap, run Hurd 3 gap. Repeat.

BS...most of Hurd's running plays aren't designed to go in a specific gap. He gets the ball standing still and is supposed to pick what's open.

Quit trying to sugar coat it...this OL got their arses handed to them by a considerably smaller DL and it wasn't due to scheme, stunts, blitzes, or the OC's play calling. It's gut check time for that unit.

Simply not true. He wasn't ready his freshman year but was forced into action and he's obviously not an OT. Last season he played at an average SEC OL level - he wasn't their weakest link on the OL in 2015. Last night he regressed back to 2014 levels which is hard to comprehend how that could have happened.

Im not sugar coating anything Im not saying the line played well but there were 8 or 9 nine in the box every play and Hurd has the explosion of a firecracker without a fuse.

Simply not true. Surely you DVRed the game. Go back and rewatch it. Don't follow the ball, only watch the LOS. Appy played a 3-4 defense and the OLB's weren't run blitzing. Appy's smaller DL lined up and kicked the living shat out of our much larger OL.

P.S. It wasn't only CT who got embarrassed on the OL.

He had a really, really bad game. It made the whole line look like garbage. To be fair Dobbs had a bad game too. He made some really bad decisions that aren't normal for him.
