I get people outraged about the play calling. I get people outraged about Jackson holding the ball to long (and I’m with you on both)

But play calling and Qb play will not be good when the pocket is constantly collapsing or your constantly 3rd and 12 (because of false starts/holds), and that is all on the line.

Watching UGA/Bama give their QBs a clean pocket, and I’m so envious

I don’t understand your point. I never said this wasn’t a coaching issue.

But point is - our offensive line fricking blows. Coaching, talent, development. Whatever it is. It fricking sucks.

I understand. But we can talk about line, QB, whatever until we’re blue in the face, there is one singular problem at the top and that is all that needs focused on.

So you identified a big issue. Great! Dumbass head coach has no idea how to fix it.

Ultimately, its the HC. He is paid to put the best product on the field.

The line sucks at pass protection. Freeze even said it was a concern during fall practice but I honestly don't think he cares.

This is what he said after the OU game:

quote:

"If you take away the sacks, we averaged 4.3 or (4.5) yards per rush. That's a pretty good average in this league. I probably should have forced the run a little more


He followed it up by using the RBs to run the ball 8 times, which is 5 less times. He's a horrible player caller.

The last few minutes in the 4th against TAMU was very bad. Even when TAMU rushed 3 the line was like a turnstile. I don't think that is a weakness of the players, but of the coaching.

Coaching is the reason for the false start penalties. The line has done a fairly good job outside of that. Arnold has had plenty of time to throw......he just won't. 4 seconds is an eternity! He's given 5 on some plays and still gets sacked. Either can't see open receivers or flat out refuses to throw the ball away.

Yawn, non quarterbacks coaching non quarterbacks.

Non line players coaching line coaches.

The line of “I watch TV is endless.”

4 of those runs were when we needed 15 yds or more to gain.

Stick to playing the tuba, or whatever it is that you do.

Arnold has enough time to throw. Our run offense is good. Averaging over 4 yards/play. Our RBs had 8 touches yesterday. We were constantly in 3rd and long. Arnold holds the ball while WRs are wide open, waving their arms. Our veteran WR had to suggest to Freeze that we practice with a lot more stadium noise this past week. Let that sink in. A veteran coach and his staff did not think an away game with 102K fans known as "The 12th Man", may be an issue for our players during the game. And had no answer for all the false start penalties FROM LAST WEEK!

We have a ton of talent on this team being coached by overpaid amateurs. Is there an offensive coach on this staff? Looks like we raided some 1A highschool from Delaware.

Other than pass protection and run blocking, we look fat, but slow.
