As you guys can tell I worry about the linebackers and offensive line a lot. I seem to remember them saying in the spring that Jancek's had all these good LBs to choose from and he was having problems narrowing it down. My answer is, "Johnny, these last few games have narrowed it down." Jumper ain't the answer. At best, he should be mentoring the more talented players.
On offense, I thought when we signed Blair he was the starting left tackle in waiting. Seriously, why isn't he? Is it him or the coaches or what? They can't make him read his playbook or watch film in down time. The reason I mentioned Richmond is I thought some recruiting analysts saying he could start in his first year. Maybe I'm mistaken there. By all accounts, Boulware has looked good in practice. Where the heck is he? I understand building a program in that you want to redshirt guys. But our O line ain't cutting it right now and we better start a wake up call these next 2 games.
As for other comments about the offense, I agree at this point QD (and maybe even SJ) should legitimately be pushing Dobbs for playing time. I'm not ready to scream "2 QB system" or "QB by committee" but there are several things working against us. First, our line is allowing Dobbs to get pummeled and run over. Second, as much as Dobbs has had to run you have to worry about the hits he's taking and durability. Lastly, he hasn't shown he can consistently sling the ball down the field. The 2 other guys will at least be able to bring a different flavor to the offense. At worst, it would protect Dobbs from injury. At best, it will keep defenses guessing.
