Does anyone remember an interview with CPJ where he says something to the effect of relying on one key offensive lineman that can read the whole of the defense and direct the offensive line? Said something like we had that in Shaq Mason but were missing it this year.
That statement struck me as odd at the time. Why is one of your players providing your other players the assignments they need to make? A breakdown in the coaching technique for sure. Not everyone is ready.
We have no drive blocking game. Defenders slip right under us at the mesh. Our youngest players are the only ones that seem able to block into the second level. Linemen are not learning, they are out of position, they can't identify who their assignments are, we have zero pass protection - man or zone protection. There are a zillion spread teams. There is no reason we can't hire someone better suited to handle our offensive line.
Our players are very intelligent based on the HS GPA, SAT scores, and GT GPA. Yet they cannot evaluate the defensive set and know who to block? Yet they just decide to block no one?
