When has the O-line struggled outside of that Georgia game?

We dominated Mizzou. We held our own against Bama. We pushed Kentucky's Front 7 backwards consistently.

It's not been perfect, but outside of 1 game, the O-line hasn't been a major issue.

QB play has been the problem. And JG's lackluster play is even making the OL look worse than it actually is.

You won't get an argument from me in JG, but I think the line is playing way below potential. 3.57 YPC is among the bottom in the SEC and that is with the Mizzou game helping the numbers. Several unnecessary sacks and people not seeming to know who to block on a lot of occasions and a lot of procedure penalties (with zero crowd noise) was not what I expected from a group this talented

How involved is Pruitt in offensive play calling?

We don’t really know but we do know a few things. One Pruitt mentioned after the Kentucky game he wasn’t happy with the play calls On the pick 6s and he was going to be more involved.


The other is it isn’t at all in Chaneys nature to go run heavy and he’s done that very much so since those pic 6s.



From my seat Pruitt told him to run, run, run and run some more even on third and long.

This might sound strange, but I think if execution were better, play calling would also be better.

How many times have we had players running free and we just failed to deliver the ball on time?

Has there been any real imagination with the variety of plays we are calling?


I think the answer to both of those questions are an easy NO

You can call the niftiest plays in the world, but it's on the receivers to get open, in the end. Trust me, I know... it took a group effort to perform as badly as we did against Georgia and Kentucky, including play calling. "None of us is as bad as all of us."

Oh there is blame to go around for everyone I agree. I just think with a good play caller there will be a few plays a game where you see those calls out schemed or tricked the defense. We aren’t seeing that at all imo

They fail at critical moments, consistently

Chaney has not forgotten how to call plays, he is just handicapped by the situation at QB, that said it needs to be all hands on deck right now with fresh ideas. I'm hoping Kenney Solomon switching to reciever is indicative of that actually occurring.

Imo the ol play has more to do with the qb than most would agree with. The opponents stack the line with jg at qb because they don't have any fear of his passing game. It is very hard to run against a stacked line. Get a good qb in and they can't crowd the los and the ol and running game will improve very much.

You can have the nicest most expensive gun in the gun cabinet.....if it doesn't have a trigger it won't fire. We don't have a trigger in our offense and it's hasn't....doesn't and won't fire until we have one.

So you have a team like Kentucky, they actually have a worse QB than we do. He's thrown for 600 yards. Yet Kentucky is 2nd in the SEC in rushing and have two different backs averaging over 5 YPC. Has Kentucky so drastically out recruited us along the O line and RBs that they can overcome the "stacked front" and we can't? Is UK really that much more talented than us up front and in the backfield?

Our offensive line doesn’t lack ability. It’s a scheme/coaching issue. If it was simple as block the guy in front of you. We’d be solid but a lot of time they’re just confused on who to block. Same with the Defensive Backs. Just confused on the coverages. The ability is there.
