Braker was moved to DE in fall camp for a week or two but in the end they were happy with the depth there and moved him back to LB. They werent happy with what Jimcoily brought to the star with the few snaps he took. He would likely be better off at LB. Braker has been a bit banged up but would likely be ahead of Weeks and Moses at LB when healthy. Ross was a big loss to LB depth, next man up after singleton.

Trey Dez Green injury.

Does anyone have any intel on the extent of his injury besides what his Mom said in her text. So I have only seen people repeat the "he's gonna miss a few games". I know CLK keeps pretty mum on injuries but I was hoping there might be some insider leaks that provide more illumination.
There was never any explantion on why he wasnt with the team and then he was back with the team for the start of the season again without any clarification. Inside information anyone?
I havent had time to do an in depth review of the game but here are my initial impressions of the starting 5 OL.

Seaton: As advertised. Every time he was matched up against Heldt he completely owned him. Was equally effective in both run blocking and pass pro and was our best at climbing to the second level. Legit 1st rounder A+

Bordelon: Probably the least athletic of the starters but very strong run blocking and was effective in pass pro. Clemson threw a lot of twists with their front 4 on passing downs, which last years line had much trouble with, but he and Seaton handled effortlessly. B+

Moore: Had a few snaps go awry but very steady for the most part. I dont think Clemsons inside guys challenged him much but he was still very solid and did his job with not egregious errors. Very strong run blocker. B+

Bah: Monster in the run game and like the left side guys he and Davis handled the line stunts very well. Like Bordelon he is a little slow footed when trying to get to the second level but still a very effective guard. B+

Davis: Very good in the run game but still needs improvement in pass pro. He had the most egregious whiff on pass block that I noticed in my limited views but Levitt saved him from giving up a sack with his quick feet. Very athletic and I belive he has the most upside of the starting 5.
B

All in all an excellent performance from the entire line and the future looks bright to me.


Thanks for doing this. I've been wanting to do this myself but was too lazy. Good work!
Their refusal to surrender in their pursuit of Seaton makes it seem so.
And isnt this the first year of revenue sharing? That added about 17 million to the pot that didnt exist before correct?

What is the rumored amount we are paying for Prince's contract besides the 600K? Aint my money, I'm just curious what the going rate is for someone of his caliber.
I think that was 2011. Mettenberger was 3rd string Qb that year and when the game got out of hand Miles put him in with specific instructions on the kind of plays he wanted run so as not to run up the score needlessly. Mettenberger audibled to something he didnt like so he forced him to kneel on it from the 2 yard line to punish him.

Did any other big time school lose as many O-lineman as we did?
Even if he were to get a wavier, after last night's game, Chambliss will at minimum be leading a CFB semifinalist team. OM will certainly match any dollar offer any teams make to keep him, so what incentive will he have to leave for his final year? OM has already proven it can get into the playoff and win a couple games...a lot more than we have proven. I dont think one more year playing with the Kiffen/Weis brain trust will enough of a draw to entice him. Plus the qb dominoes start falling as of today, could we really afford to wait another week or two for him to decide? I dont think so.
Trust your first instinct...you dont wanna know!
I remember watching the first half of the Kentucky game...had a couple of really bad INT's early. He's got kind of a long throwing motion but he's pretty accurate and he runs well. Havent really watched enough of him to pick his game apart but I'm sure CLK has seen enough of him to make the correct eval. Chambliss is better in most aspects from what I've seen, and that is surely why CLK kept him as starter over Simmons.
We'll know a little more after the Oklahoma game but just using the current eye test I think next years starters will be Adams LT, Curne LG, Echols C, many options at RG (Thomas, Davis, Mubenga, Chester) and Williams RT. Weston Davis is the most physically gifted lineman we have but the he has many parts of his game to improve on before he is a legit SEC lineman.

re: Rewatch the game - my takeaways

We need a better plan on short yardage and goal line. I was heartened when we went wildcat early in the game with Johnson. We gained 5 or 6 yards but never went back to it. You would think with our short yardage struggles it would become a bigger part of our offense.
Injury luck usually plays a big part of any championship run. Getting the wrong injury at the wrong position can be crippling. At this point the top 5 people we could least afford to lose would be:

1) Nuss
2) Moore
3) Green
4) Durham
5) Adams

These are the positions we dont really have a strong replacement available. I think most every other postion group can survive an injury. At least the injuries to Moore and Green dont appear to be season ending so we should be ok for now.
We obviously have more WR's on our roster that are talented, than we have game reps to give them. It would seem that trying to play too many would make it more difficult for Nussmeir to establish timing with all of them. In the end our coaches will decide the best path forward but it would seem getting the balance right will be a challenge.

Just checked my channel guide, it's showing it will be on espn2.
My favorite from Friday was when they used a shot of the flags in center to show how hard the wind was blowing and he said "if Christopher Colombus woulda had that wind at his back he would have gotten here in 1491"!
