Now is the time to binge watch last year’s games.

Don’t forget our backs missed some blocks as well. I agree that when you are 119th in points per game and 121st in yards per game that isn’t attributable to any one player or position group. Everyone sucked together.
Agreed. Is not JG but he plays a part. Its not the o line but they played a part. Ext ext. Im not a big fan of the word "sucked" because there were too many problems throughout the team and this being the ultimate team game. A bad defense for example can severely hurt a qb as well by not getting off the field on 3rd down. The opposing offense chews up the clock and next thing you know the game is over, you'r qb only threw for 150 yrds , you have a total of 14 points on the board but they scored 4-5 times. Fast forward 30 min after the game and you read post after post of how bad the qb and/or o line played. How many posts have you read defending Tyson Helton? Not many. But most of us have been at jobs or relationships at some point that no matter what you do you're wrong. I think it's obvious that's where he was and let's face it..... under that kind of pressure only makes you mess it up more because you find yourself 2nd guessing your every move. Last yr things were just too new to place blame anywhere. But every complaint you read holds some weight for sure.

Helton caught a lot of heat but the guy was a first year OC under a first year HC. I wasn’t a big fan of that combo due to them both being new to their roles and Pruitt not having an offensive background. You are correct that one side of the ball affects the other but to be in the bottom 10% of offenses in the country to me means you stunk it up. You can only pin so much on the D/ST before it comes back to simply not executing on offense. The D/ST didn’t cause the O to score 14 against Charlotte. But, again, I do agree that there’s plenty of blame to go around and I look forward to seeing what improvements are made this year.

You're correct. I know it sounded like I was totally talking UT but that was just a hypothetical for ANY football team. Ive seen the same scenario effect a kids recruiting/ranking simply because of his position. Now of coarse this particular kid still found a way to put up crazy numbers but being on a losing team still effected what he could've done. When talking UT I do have to agree. The overall production on offense last yr was horrible and hopefully it'll get much better this yr. Although history suggests that it may get better but wont be a night and day difference
