If they have anyone over there that can run block, Jackson, Shoefield, Tiny now is the time to get them in. Simms isn't Bray. They'll roll him more than Bray, he doesn't need pass blockers as much. He needs a running game or we'll be down to Nance or the waterboy.

I'd like to see some new faces as well. I am pretty sure that we enter the games fielding our best 5 lineman, but it wouldn't hurt to shake it up a bit. At some point you have to ask yourself...can it really be worse?

I'd like to see Tiny get some looks. He is by far the most physically imposing lineman we have.

I wish they would give Bullard another look at center.

Here is how I see it. If the line is going to play that badly then put jackson and tiny in to build for the future.

I agree, I think Stone would be a good O-lineman but he continues to have issues snapping the ball at center. Then again we also signed one of the top rated center prospect last year so maybe they are just trying to get by with Stone this year before starting Crowder next year.

Stone should go back to guard, where he excelled. Then decide if its Bullard or Crowder burning a redshirt. Stone is having to think too much about snapping with his oft hand and is getting knocked 3 yards into the backfield at the snap.

This team had 681 yards rushing at this time last year what the hell changed? The Stone at center project definitely isn't working and Bullard gets owned just about every play.

You're right, but I thought we were building for our future with the sophomores we have in there now!

Face it, Thomas is the best we have at LT.. He is okay with the bull rush, but struggles with the speed rush..

Does anyone agree that this should fall on our offensive line coaches head???? I mean somebody has to take responsiblity for this and we have the same guys we had last year!?

I am not on the bandwagon of dooley by far.. I will say if the running game is not fixed offensive line coach should be fired soon or at the end of the season.

I like Dooley and want to give him the requisite amount of time to see if he can be successful. But, part of being successful is getting rid of the coaches that aren't getting it done. That's how the business works.
