Our Dline needs to find a system it will play for the next 10 years or longer. It will help recruit the type of players we need.

It will also help find the type of coaches we need to coach up the players. Coach Shipp may be a great Dline coach, but he does not stay at any place very long.

Any system that works will make me happy. In the long run this system maybe better. It did work against Georgia, but they had a smaller Oline. It did not work against LSU a team with a big Oline

Did you notice against UGA, they didn't use R&R very much. You could tell the LB's were not waiting, they attacked up field, and Harris looked like himself coming off the edge. My theory is we knew UGA had great RB's and we needed to stop them, so we attacked. Against LSU, with Fournette hurt or at least hobbled, BO went back to R&R and Guice made us pay. just my theory.

Here's the weaknesses of any post that only looks at 1 side of the ball, a team is a team, not a defensive unit. This quick strike or strikeout offense is literally exhausting our defense. We are a little hopeful about what our D did to the Georgia backs, but here's the key our freaking offense had a pulse and therefore have our D time to rest and adjust. Here's our time of possession our O provided for our D vs LSU to rest and ADJUST for the 1st quarter:

-.35
-1.41
-.59
-.48
-1.46
-1.20
-1.02

Our freaking average time of possession was 70 seconds!!!!!!!!!!

The offense when it poops it's pants literally does to our defense what it is designed to do to other teams defenses. Our players get exhausted, our coaches don't have time to make good adjustments and when they do, the players do NOT have enough time to put them into practice. Everyone is loving up Heupel to the point of being scared of losing him that they ignore the fact he is slowing down the growth of the defense.
