'26 LSU Transfer OT Ory Williams (Tennessee)

Has anyone considered our offensive scheme contributes to the vulnerability of our offensive line? It appears to me that our opponents have figured Heupel’s system out in the last couple of years and blitz like crazy. If you only have 5 blocking 7 you are going to lose every time.

What are you talking about? We run 12 personnel all the time

Also: any scheme where you are trying to block 7 guys with 5 is going struggle

Holding back a smile, looks like a Vol to me. Cant imagine he actually makes it to ucla. Auburn can’t beat us. Way more opportunity to start here than Uga.

This guy at RT and ONeal/Sikorski as a flex player is a good filling of needs on the OL front.

The lack of development at that position specifically is glaring.

Doesn’t have to be though in this era now. Every Final Four team has at least 2 transfer starting OL with Ole Miss and Oregon having 3. Our OL is no different than everyone else.

I have no doubt that Elerbe is weak at recruiting. I do push back a bit on his development because I think the OL has generally been a strength under Heupel. Scheme is part of the rushing yards, but we’ve had good lines.

Over the past two seasons, at least, they've struggled against the best teams we've played, save for UGA, this year. 31 sacks given up against Bama, Oklahoma, Georgia and Ohio St., last year, and Bama, Oklahoma, Vandy, and Illinois, this year. They've seemingly been a strength against weak competition but get exposed against the better teams we've played. Just my impression watching them play and statistically it seems to hold up.

Sanders is incredibly talented, but also incredibly raw.

I'm fine with not caring "where" they come from, but you should be concerned about how they play. They wilted against good teams this season. They played poorly in the bowl game. We've seen little to no progression on most of these guys. Elarbee is failing to develop.

They did play poorly in the bowl game, can't dispute that. It sucked all the way around...thought I even heard the band off-key a time or two. However, saying they "wilted against good teams" is not true, at all. Against UGA, we had 500 yards of offense. Against Oklahoma, 450 yards. Against Bama, 410 yards. That's the three best teams we played, and we averaged over 450 yards in those games.

How did they stack up with other top teams in the country?

Sacks allowed...
UGA: 20
Bama: 32
Indiana: 21
Ole Miss: 18
Oregon: 16
Texas: 23
Miami: 15
Ohio St: 16
Texas A&M: 19

Tennessee: 22
Probably safe to say, at least a couple of those (if not a few more) were on the RBs, TEs, or QB holding onto the ball too long; not to mention, 16 of them came after we inserted a true freshman into the lineup, and shifted guys around.

Let's compare those 22 sacks to the great Sam Pittman that many soil themselves over, and his time at Georgia, with 5 stars all over the place. In 2016, his OLine gave up 24 sacks; 2017: 17 sacks; 2018: 18 sacks; 2019: 15 sacks. And, this is during a time whenever they ran the football almost every play, and had nowhere near the dropbacks that we did this year. In 2016, they had 386 pass attempts; 2017: 305; 2018: 356; 2019: 415. We had 437 pass attempts this year...22 more than their highest total in 4 years.

Back to this year...

Rushing Yards...
UGA: 2762 (4.4 ypc)
Bama: 1875 (3.4 ypc)
Indiana: 3364 (5.4 ypc)
Ole Miss: 2721 (4.5 ypc)
Oregon: 3145 (5.5 ypc)
Texas: 2060 (4.2 ypc)
Miami: 2128 (4.3 ypc)
Ohio St: 2360 (4.5 ypc)
Texas A&M: 2597 (4.8 ypc)

Tennessee: 2557 (4.5 ypc)

I'm not gonna argue, and go back and forth. No use in it. Nothing else really to say anyway, that those numbers don't. Every offensive line has multiple breakdowns in today's game. The ball is being thrown way more than it ever has been; and, defenses have become more complex in their blitz packages and disguises...that is, unless they're led by Tim Banks.

Have we completely written off Perry at RT? I thought he played pretty well out there. Doesn’t mean we don’t need portal linemen, I just think he’s better than most of the tackles in the portal and has another couple of years to improve.

I think he has All-american potential at RT. He was a LT in HS. Kid is Athletic.

He did fairly well but he’s not an SEC OT1. Would feel more comfortable with another guy battling him for that spot. Also, we have basic no depth at OT now with our portal entries. We simply need more bodies. Outside and inside.
