Guys I for one am not pleased with how much dobbs has had to run for his life so far, and lanes that close so quickly. I think we need to give Richmond one more shot to show progress against Ohio, and if he doesn't play any better here is a fix I think will work.
LT: Kendrick
LG: Robertson
C: Wiseman
RG: Jones
RT: Thomas

I think we roll with this against Florida if the same O-line fails us against Ohio. At least until Chance gets back, but what are y'alls opinons on this? Some football guys who know a lot about O-line assignments/plays tell me can this be fixed this year. I feel like if the O-line gets fixed then the offense will turn around completely. What say you volnation???

Drew Richmond is a LIABILITY.

He shouldn't get back on the field this season. He needs lots of work both in conditioning and strength.

We need to roll with Kendrick and Hall (once healthy) at tackle.

I would tell you are qualified to have a spot on this coaching staff, but, making sense is not allowed. It conflicts with bricks that the online keeps laying. Coaches can't tolerate this level of insolence. I just don't hear enough yes man qualities cbj looks for in his former pool cleaning professionals.

Thomas had a bad ankle and can't move so putting him on the right tackle alone might get Dobbs killed. Robertson has gotten whipped like he stole something.

Jones dominates people. Can't wait for Hall to return cause then we can run right for a gain. I want to see Boulware (sp?) in place of Robertson for a few series. I think he might have a mean streak too.

IMO this was their best unit.

They were better with Richmond when Thomas was out.

For whatever reason, they appear to be better when Thomas and Richmond are not on the field together.

Richmond is young and could play into himself. As someone mentioned earlier, his ceiling is definitely higher than Kendrick's.

Thomas is an issue.

They went with that lineup throughout the second half if I'm not mistaken

The **** you spew in every thread with your hatred of CBJ and his staff is just, well pathetic!! If ya don't like it don't watch it!!!

Yea you have the option to voice your opinion but dang dude get over it you sound ridiculous. I for 1 understood your feelings in the 1st couple of posts in different threads so no need to continue with your garbage.

Thomas is a great center..........when healthy. When the dude is playing on a bum ankle he is a liability, just like most other players would be. The coaches should not put him on the field until he is 100 percent ready to go.

My OL theory is hoping we get Hall back for Florida and insert Jack Jones into the starting lineup along with benching Thomas until he gets his stuff together or gets over whatever injury he may have. With those 2 in the lineup we have a serviceable line. If Hall isn't back for Florida and they refuse to play Jones then we may be in for a long day up front. Just the way it is right now unfortuantely.

Robertson has been the biggest issue on the OL thus far. Followed by Richmond and then Thomas. All have had weak moments but those three are the one's missing the most executions.

Hall will be critical assuming he comes back and plays like last year. He was behind Kendrick when he went down.
