O line play was absolutely atrocious
I have no words to explain how horrible they are. False starts, guys missing blocks, whiffing left and right, can’t pick up a blitz, can’t release the ball on the snap. My goodness that was embarrassing.

Re: O line play was absolutely atrocious
I just wonder why they block every run play like they are blocking for a screen pass. They just let the first wave of the defense come untouched into the backfield.

Re: O line play was absolutely atrocious
I know people were complaining about play calling, but the o-line was the source of the issues of the plays.

Re: O line play was absolutely atrocious
What happened to Jacob South? Is he hurt? Cole Motes played most of the game at RT

Everyone needs to realize we have a limited game manager at qb. He is gutsy and focuses late but the engine if this offense is the o line. Play calling has been fine. The O line needs to step up. Guys in the backfield every play cannot happen as teams load up on the run and underneath coverage.

Our O Line is the worst I have seen since Riley Nelson was our QB running for his life.

Re: O line play was absolutely atrocious
I have to put some of this on coaching. Edwards was moved to RT in our goal line package and a lot of subs were in. I’m all for throwing a wrinkle in there, but why would you move a 4 year starter across the line, especially when he is probably the worst drive blocker to begin with.
I know I’ve said it before, but these guys are shoulder turners. Not drive blockers.

Re: O line play was absolutely atrocious
I know I know the run game was off but how about the freshman Motes stepping up after being converted to o line the previous year and not giving up a sack the entire nite??

As far as I can tell, @GeoAg he didn't travel with the team. I know that doesn't answer your question but hopefully it'll get answered tomorrow at the press conference.

Re: O line play was absolutely atrocious
With absolutely zero statistic evidence to back it up…..the line sure has seemed a lot better with Alo at center.
When Dolphin and Alo were splitting reps the first couple games, our line really struggled (particularly in the run game) when Dolphin was in. Against Washington State, North Dakota, and Air Force…. It seems like we did much better running the ball during Alo’s reps.

I'm in agreement about Alo vs Dolphin. I've been rewatching the game and Quazzy White has been making some big mistakes in run blocking.utahcountyaggie wrote: ↑October 17th, 2021, 8:02 pmWith absolutely zero statistic evidence to back it up…..the line sure has seemed a lot better with Alo at center.

Re: O line play was absolutely atrocious
Dolphin had three penalties called on him — two false starts and one holding. Two of them came back-to-back before halftime when we had a first and 10 at the UNLV 15 yard line. Before you could say “shoot yourself in the foot” we had a third down and 35 yards to go at the UNLV 40-yard line — effectively taking ourselves out of FG range (Coles missed on a 52-yarder).AggieFBObsession wrote: ↑October 17th, 2021, 8:07 pmI'm in agreement about Alo vs Dolphin.

Re: O line play was absolutely atrocious
Yeah. I saw that too. At least with Alo there I expect fewer mistakes. That said, the OL is an issue on the offense and is going to be the biggest reason for our yo-yo season. Why yo-yo? You shouldn't be able to beat Wazzu, then squeak by UNLV then beat Air Force and then get blanked by BSU. So, yo-yo.utaggies wrote: ↑October 17th, 2021, 10:15 pm

Also, we don't have 1st team MWC on the OL. That's a problem if you want to win the conference. I don't see much hope in sight right now even for next year. We're probably 2-3 years away from having that kind of talent on the OL. 2nd teamers? Maybe. Not dominant player there like we had in years past with Quin Ficklin.

Funny thing is that UNLV is in a WIDE 4-2 (at the 42:42 mark) and that 4-2 demolishes every single blocker. You could make an argument that its a 3-3, but it wouldn't be as funny with the time stamp.
I would consider it rare that every single player gets a "-" in a D1 program on a play, but that is what happens here.
Edwards and D.A. double team with little/no movement, both players pad level WAY too high, Dolphin gets put on his back, Q barely makes it out to the LB on the pull and would have been out of position had Tyler been able to get that far, Motes didn't have his best block of the game (will give him a pass with first start). I'm sorry, but this is simply inexcusable.
We wonder why Bonner can't throw down the field or why we abandoned the pass in segments.....its hard to thrown when you are dropping 7 vs the pass. You have to be able to run vs. 6 in the box (and there may be only 4 truly in the box).
4 vs 7 = not good odds, but still may be better than trying to run with these guys up front. I know...smae ole same ole. Personally, our guys cannot be this bad! How is it humanly possible?

Re: O line play was absolutely atrocious
UNLV could've had 4 in the box all night and shut our running game down while also having 7 more DBs shutting the passing game down with Thompkins getting double teamed. IMO, their coaching staff is not that good. Even though Friel couldn't pass more than 10 yards, they shouldn't have had any trouble shutting our offense down.GrandPoubah wrote: ↑October 18th, 2021, 1:01 amEdwards and D.A. double team with little/no movement, both players pad level WAY too high, Dolphin gets put on his back, Q barely makes it out to the LB on the pull and would have been out of position had Tyler been able to get that far, Motes didn't have his best block of the game (will give him a pass with first start).

That play was an unbalanced line.

Alo has been a much better run blocker than Dolphin.
Part of our problem against UNLV could be that their line is actually quite good.

Re: O line play was absolutely atrocious
But we never seem to run a screen pass. You would think how bad the OL is then the defense would never suspect screen when they weren't blocked. You could easily sneak all 5 linemen out and hit a screen to a RB. Of course, maybe the OL wouldn't block for the screen either but the LBs would at least have pylons to run around first.

Re: O line play was absolutely atrocious
^This! There are ways to neutralize an aggressive D-line or to help your out-manned OL. Move the pocket, have planned roll outs, throw screens. We lack creativity in play design and in-game calls. There is almost never pre-snap motion or misdirection in our offensive play. It is just line up, stand still, snap the ball and hand-off up the gut or quick throw.Coloraggie wrote: ↑October 18th, 2021, 9:43 amBut we never seem to run a screen pass.

Also, we don't have 1st team MWC on the OL. That's a problem if you want to win the conference. I don't see much hope in sight right now even for next year. We're probably 2-3 years away from having that kind of talent on the OL. 2nd teamers? Maybe. Not dominant player there like we had in years past with Quin Ficklin.

Re: O line play was absolutely atrocious
Last comment on this thread for the week --
One thing I noticed from the UNLV game is that it looks like the OL Coach, James, writes down every play as its being called. Given the speed of our offense, one would think any deviation from field focus would present obstacles to visualize the play prior to the snap and ultimately digest the play as it unfolded to determine what occurred (what went right and what went wrong).
Seemingly, this is something an analyst or G.A. should be doing?? I'm surprised that the Oline coach is focused so much on this tracking.
I've never seen a D1 Oline coach do this before....Anyone know if we use iPads on the sidelines to review plays? I haven't noticed.
