If what I saw in the last scrimmage open to the public has any bearing whatsoever we might go and blow the doors off a few teams, no kidding.

+1. The O-line looked MUCH better in the last scrimmage.

On pass blocking: I'm interested in Mover's insight but it seems to me that this scheme is just not going to give you really good pass protection. I've heard that from several people who played in it, as well.

Really wide splits make containment very hard for a traditional passing game, and our guys normally play so low with so much weight on their hands that they're not set up well for pass protection.

I certainly don't know, but I've had similar thoughts. My guess is our offense should allow the qb some time to make passes from outside the traditional pocket though.

My thoughts are it is not going to be the traditional 3 to 3.5 seconds to throw the ball. It's pretty much drop, set and throw. Maybe two reads at the most but more than likely JN already knows where he is going to throw it first. Just my opinion. I am not very knowledgable on the 3-0, spread or PJ triple flex option.

All I know is I love watching it now.

does the schema work for designed roll-outs? i would think that overall, rolling the QB in one direction best fits our offense b/c it gives the QB the best option to run the ball. also, throwing back to the weak side with all the mis-direction seems like a no-brainer

thoughts?

+1, now you definitely expand your options with the roll out. Lot's of bootlegs, waggles and sweep passes.
 
RM, do you think being an oline is easier or harder than it was 25 years ago?
 
RM, do you think being a Kyle is easier or harder than it was 20 years ago?

John Davis (1983-86) aka The Refridgerator Mover, or FridgeMover for short or Mover for even shorter. this nickname comes from a game where nationally recognized William "The Refridgerator" Perry got pushed all over the field by Mr. Davis and his open can of whoopass

From ESPN:http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1122691/index.htm

October 08, 1984
Players Of The Week

N. Brooks Clark



OFFENSE: Center John Davis graded out an exceptional 80% in Georgia Tech's 28-21 upset of Clemson. Davis held 305-pound All-America noseman William Perry to only five tackles and no sacks.

I was think that as well. We won't do pass protection like OU did pass protection last year but we'll be able to give Nesbitt the bare necessity to pass with proper mechanics to what should be an open receiver with how defense are going to stack on us.

Nice to see that BuzzCzar can make moronic spelling errors with the best of them. If GSUPaintballer had done this, BuzzCzar would be all over him for it.
 
Not only does the 'mover have the eyes of a former player, he has made it a point to get to know the current offensive line coaches. When he says we'll be pleasantly surprised, I think that's where this is coming from.

My memory of the GSU offense in it's glory days is getting dimmer and dimmer, but it seems to me they didn't do a lot deep drop, pocket protection kind of passing. There were rollouts and quick throws after a fake to the B back, and other stuff that depended more on deception than offensive linemen having to stay in front of pass rushers.
