Our OL

[tnprogrammer]

is absolute garbage in pass protection.

Seven sacks to KY, it's non-existant

 

[OL SMOKEY]

 

[OrebankVol]

We have one real O lineman, and he is a freshmen!!!

 

[Other_Guy]

The OL was bad tonight, but they gave up only a couple total sacks with whatshisname. JG has been to blame for majority of sacks.

is absolute garbage in pass protection.

They are actually worse in run blocking. Trey Smith is the only one who is SEC caliber. They are the absolute worst position group and have been for 4 or 5 years.

 

[JFBanicki]

Looked like out lt wanted that last drive to fail. Maybe wants a real coach so he doesn’t either have to waste a year transferring or just waste his college career under horrible coaching.

 

[MWAVolfan]

Yank all scholarships and use the money to pay buyout.

 

[Biopsyman]

Thomas and Kendrick.. pure shag on a stick

 

[Sarms58]

We are very weak at the tackle position...Too slow...hope Trey moves out to tackle next year...

And it (supposedly) has at least 2 5 star recruits playing on it.

Bunch of pylons are all they are.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Drew Richmond just standing around. He is terrible!

 

[Jxn Vol]

73 is the only one that has the intensity that is needed to play in the SEC.

 

[jblank]

Drew Richmond might be the worst LT I've seen in the SEC in years.

 

[Ancient Astronaut]

This is by far our biggest weakness. Consistent break downs on almost every play seems like. Makes it look like JG may hold on to the ball to long. He just doesn't have that much time to throw. IMO

If these coaches get another year with Trey Smith he will be just as bad as the rest.
And the "D" line looks pretty bad two

Drew Richmond might be the worst LT I've seen in the SEC in years.

He has to be on the take or can't stand Butch Jones because he has almost single handily lost 3 games this year with his whiff blocks and false start penalties on the 1 yard line. Kendrick is almost as bad on the right side. Poor Guarantano almost got mutilated.

He dose not have time to look down field before he has to run for his life!

 

[knoxvol16]

Oline play dropped as soon as Butch implemented his scheme in year one. Overall, it's trended downward since.

 

[nash101]

They haven’t recruited well and had to rush and play them early which led to injury

They haven’t been coached since they arrived on campus and the scheme in general magnifies their ineptitude.

Add in the fact they took a year off in the weight room and it’s no wonder our best lineman is a freshman (it was like that last year but both got worse this year with leadership reps)

 

[10NCVol88]

JG drops back too far and then holds on to the ball under pressure. He is a big reason why the sack total is so high.

He drops back so far because the entire defensive line is chasing him

 

[Ancient Astronaut]

I would rather take Thomas and Kendrick off the field and lose with the younger guys. If we have any that is. That being said I do place the blame on the coaches for not coaching.

 

[90 Vol]

I’m not going to bash the players. It’s obvious that they haven’t been properly coached.
