OLine

[PhatOrange]

I didn’t see the game but watching a few highlights I’m pretty sure I saw #70 (Cruz) in the game at 14-0, on a TD run, so early on. Looked like he was in for Berg at LT.

Anyone notice what the makeup of the line was and if any players moved around? Not in blowout time but first half stuff.

I also noticed a lot of pulling …they pulled Davis from tackle on tuckers long run (as well as motioning Gadsden and him leading that gap. Seems like they went back to last years run game scheme a little. We’ll see how it works against NC State.

More balance will make this O really hard to stop.

that was right after berg got banged up, didnt see much line shuffling until backups went in

 

[upperdeck]

they ran more traps and pulls than usual.

Agree 100%

Got two weeks to get healthy and install some wrinkles on top of all of what’s worked in the passing game too

 

[Dick_in_MI]

Yes, they made a number of tweaks with the OL and blocking schemes. Of course, it would have been shocking had they not done so given our previous issues with the running game. It remains to be seen how effective the changes will be against defenses not wearing Wagner uniforms, but it was nice to see the changes. Get healthy, unveil a few more things in the run dept. that were most assuredly NOT for public display yesterday, and let's see where it takes us. This year's Orange continues to evolve.

Cruz got a lot of run with the oline in the first half. Rotated him Bleich and Davis and he plugged in for Bergeron on the drive he got dinged up.

Cruz just looks like an athlete. He will be all conference before he leaves.

 

[Cuse4455]

Cruz came in for Davis but then Davis rotated with Bleich at Guard, and Davis dominated at Guard lol.

He rolled in all night. Sometimes a swap with Davis. Once or twice Davis moved to LG for Ellis.

How does Vett continue to false start as a center?

On the one early in the game he got blown up by the Wagner guy

 

[Yeti]

I just wish we had a dominant center. I feel like a lot of the olines problems would shrink if Vett wasn't in the offensive backfield.

 

[AngryOtto]

Staff tried to get one from the portal but did not work out. Fact they have not been able to recruit a true center in 6 years is another issue.

Yep thinking AA too

Yep thinking AA too

The first step is admitting you have a problem...on the O-line.

Davis with another false start in the first half as well.

 

[shu 49]

Looked like last years run game with this yearsthrow game. I like it

 

[wfschrec]

The fact is Babers and company held back a lot of the run game the first 4 to keep Wagner in the dark. They stayed vanilla with TheVille, UConn, Purdue and UVa so as not to give Wagner too much film. They knew they would need this one to get that bowl game and didn't want to leave it to chance.

And yes this is sarcasm ... I just couldn't help myself.

I am convinced he will set the record for penalties in a career at Syracuse.

Michael Hay probably has a record on par with DiMaggio’s hit streak for penalities.

 

[MSOrange]

Michael Hay probably has a record on par with DiMaggio’s hit streak for penalities.

But he brought toughness...

 

[JRHEETER]

Think Cruz ultimately goes on to be the next OL drafted after Bergeron


Man when was the last we could say that at Cuse?

Our team is loaded with NFL talent this season. Let’s hope they turn it into something special
