Spot on. The o line has had no push. They have regressed since nc state. There is zero push and they do horribly with an blitzing or stunts.

You can not win games without at least some functioning from the o line.

Sure Ellis is out but to be honest was not playing great before. I thought sliding Dakota inside and having a more athletic tackle would be better. Maybe it’s a function though of this unit not playing enough together.

I know vet gets raked over the coals but in my opinion it’s been the guard play that’s been the biggest issue.

I also don’t know what we are doing having Tucker split out. I know it prevents them from subbing but do not see much value with him as a receiver. Put Courtney in the slot and run w Jackson, Gadsden, Alford and adams/Hatcher. If you want to go 5 wide put in queeley. At least he can block.

When the play breaks down Carlos does a good job keeping his eyes downfield. But sometimes I wish he would have tucked it and run for the first down. We need to start getting first downs instead of all these three and outs. Same goes for Tucker. He will run out of bounds instead of cutting back and trying for more yards. There is something very off there this year. I would like to see the backups get more run if their is a lingering injury concern.

TE is a problem but mang and mahar seem serviceable. Please no more o lineman in the backfield. On Tuckers dive run at the goal line Wes got completely plugged in the hole by a filling linebacker 1 yard in the backfield. Hell put darton back there in that case.

Now I feel better. But expect the exact same packages against fsu.
