anyone catch Dabo today on radio?

[upperdeck]

talked about the status of the team. but one interesting note about the oline.. He says they have depth this yr.. Last yr they only had 6 oline guys he thought they could win with and they basically rolled with those 6 all yr without injuries to mess them up. they were an injury or so away from trying to play all yr just like we did with all the injuries. but of course it doesnt happen to a top team it happens to a team with lots of other issues to add on to . this yr he thinks he has 8-9 and a few he hopes can get there by the end of the season.

we have complaints about lack of recruiting and talent and issues here, but it catches up to lots of teams even ones with way more talent. would they have won 11 games with a fb on the oline and the 4-5 th qb playing?

I'd say that is where we are still

We have 6 OL we can win with.

Might be one or two more who will get there by the end of the season.

Need the OL healthy for consistency.

I assume the 7th, 8th, 9th etc. guys he “can’t win with” (at a Clemson level of winning) we’re better options than all but two or three of our guys last year.

You talking QB or oline... or both?

I feel like this is just a way to fit a narrative that Clemson was in the same position as us last year, so our coaching staff is right with Clemson.

There 6 olinemen were really good and our line was a mess. Big difference. It’s not really the same, we aren’t just like Clemson

Straw man argument. That was not the point.

It's not though. Dabo loves the "Little Ol' Clemson" approach.

Ya think? Geeze

Umm, not so sure it wasn’t to some degree. Otherwise I wouldn’t have commented.

OL. To me this whole quote is Dabo whining they were lucky to play all last season with their top 6 OL because it would have been so 3rd world to expect them to play with “average” linemen.

 

[Orijinal]

Dabo was down to 6 offensive linemen "he could win with"

Dino was down to 4 offensive linemen and a fullback that were playable

By he couldnt win, Is he meaning he couldnt with the Championship or he couldnt win a game? Id guess his 2nd string could at least compete for the ACC crown.
