re: On the O-Line/ M. Luke Debacle: An opposing View

OL, like DL, is probably 25% athletic ability, 50% technique/scheme and 25% mindset. I have seen inferior athletes with great technique actually dominate far superior athletes (a slightly poor case since it is HS is what a certain MC center did to Ed Oliver and the DT from Meridian in the past 5 months). We preached "dirty runs" all throughout the spring/summer. Where we seem to be "dropping the ball" is in the technique and mindset area right now and I personally think that falls on coaching/leadership. I would bet that if we brought in Hiller at the beginning of the Spring you'd see a significant level of improvement...then again I doubt it could get worse than 24 rushes for 40 yards against Memphis...
