They were just as bad last year except they had Theus. Why didn't you question why Pkye and Wynn started sucking last year?

The line was nothing close to as bad as it is now. With Pittman coming in how could anyone expect this big of a drop off ?

I'm confused. We have no talent this year, or we had no talent his year or last?

And losing one Olineman that everybody said sucked, and was a bust is making this much difference?

People have said for a while that Pyke had high end NFL potential. With the alleged Oline guru who came in, I'm shocked to have seen him devolve on the field, even though he is still on the NFL draft board.


They were wrong and he hasn't devolved like you have. He was awful at his real position last year, and is somehow not playing any worse despite being out of position.

That's funny. Why on earth would he post incomplete stats like that?

You must be 100% right... it's just odd how a lineman can be thought of as possible 1st round skill set yet, be awful

You claim to be a former player so I know you can't be this dense. Pyke has NFL starter potential...AT GUARD. He sucks hind quarters at tackle. You know a guy can be great and have wonderful potential at one position but suck at another, yeah?

Our 2 best OL are probably wynn and pyke...who are both now playing different positions than last year. You can't just say "well we ONLY lost theus and houston, we shouldn't be nearly this bad", we essentially lost both of our starting guards as well since they're now having to play out of position.

I doubt any nfl front office folks thought that of him. Your sources are awful.

A 6' 5" guy as athletic as he is should at least be able to handle the tackle spot as an average SEC OT if he is slated to be a pro guard. I don't think anyone expected him to be an all SEC tackle. Being a 5th year SR should also be a plus with physical and mental maturity. You have Pittman coming in here who is supposed to be a guru. It all doesn't add up to me.

this is similar to saying sony should be an excellent CB for us because he's quick, athletic, and smart is a defensive guru. You are for some unknown reason making this way too complicated than it is.

Pyke = good guard
Pyke = not good tackle

That's really the long and short of it. It stinks that he's going to continue having to play out of position out of necessity but oh well.

OG and OT are different positions especially with pulling and pass blocking, but they are not nearly as far apart as RB and CB. Players move between OG and OT a lot more orften than RB and CB.

So how exactly did he end up as pre-season All SEC this year
if he was "God awful" in '15?

This should be good...

Same reason people vote Kublanow for those things. They see "multi-year starter at Georgia" and assume they're good.

Pyke was pretty good at guard at times, to be fair.

He was so bad in 2015, he got benched. Preseason accolades are worthless, but I do like how you think otherwise.

Alway change the narrative but that's your MO and I who argued that we didn't play
an easy schedule in '15?We obvoiusly did.BTW '16 will probably end up as easier.

But so are you saying now that you didn't say this the "worse roster since the mid 90's" or
this was the "worse roster of the 2000's"?

So the writers and coaches who picked him were "clueless"?
