HOW IS THE OL DEVELOPING?

Turning over a new leaf?

 

Yay, another all caps thread brought to you by every random thought that bounces around between drgators ears.

 

THIS IS THE SCREAMING THREAD!

 

Who the hail is "BigGameBoomer?" Sounds like a troll...

 

My bad, was scanning and misread your post.

 

That money was used on getting Roberts as co-DC.

And one has an oc title. What they actually do at practice is more important than a title.

 

They were freshmen but will be sophomores this year.

 

I think you posted the wrong chart. This one doesn’t have UF on it.

 

I don’t think they will be the strength by an stretch but maybe competent and less false starts and another half a second for Mertz would be nice.

 

Po-TA-to, po-TAH-to...

 

While the general feel of this thread is disappointing, I’m not sure this article’s take is truly reflective of the situation in regards to the Center position. Florida is losing its “preferred” starting center. But injuries kept Eguakun from playing a lot of snaps. And when he did he wasn’t 100%.

 

The real question is, is Slaughter a center-sized (and athletic enough) center or is he less-than-ideal? Methinks he is less-than-ideal but may become more savvy. We shall see.

 

Not having slow guards play the "T" positions is going to be a huge start. The 2 that portal'd in will hopefully help in a big way. I personally still want the 2 OLC's to disappear & hire a spread OC.

 

If Slaughter goes to guard is there a viable center that you see on the roster?

 

Unfortunately, not that I am aware. Not that they aren't developing the position, just that I don't know of who would have been Plan C last year.

 

It seems that the consensus is that the OL personnel are non-athletic. So, to counter that, you need to be as technically sound as possible. It's time for the two OL coaches along with the new S&C coach to step up and get the players drilled to the point that everything they do is second nature. It will be very important for the S&C coach to not only strengthen the guys, he also needs to get the players to be more nimble and balanced on their feet. Also, getting the guys to have a nasty attitude goes a long way.
