Are you going to watch all his plays or just the ones he false starts or holds? The staff wouldnt play him if he didnt think he helped. He's a young player. He will make mistakes from thinking too hard and trying too hard. He will get better. Everyone's development is different. He is just making his mistakes on the field in competitve games while others his age are not good enough to make the field.
He was not going to be the difference maker this year. Thats the only point I was making. He had some serious blocking deficiences and was no better than Mahar catching. Now that doesnt mean he wont develop at Utah and kill it in years to come.
Some will ignore all the other plays they did well and just remember the hold or false start in 1 or 2 plays.
What do you mean every game? Are you saying Hoeh does nothing right on the plays he is in?
He had a huge drop. We need better.
On the replay I saw a fast twitching movement. I can't give him the benefit of the doubt when he's had so many penalties against him this year.
Yeah, that drop hurt. He's a good 3rd option but not a playmaker. We need another playmaker, especially if Tucker can't be himself.
6-1
I agree but doesn't mean the line play has met the pre-season expectations.
Was trying to get claryifaction from him before giving him my thoughts. The false starts and holds are blantantly obvious. I ask you to watch the games as a whole and see what the staff like about him. See what they are trying to do. Then answer that question. He is one of the best we have for a positon the staff obviously thinks is important to the offense. Who is better?
This is a great point. Then you (not "you" of course, I mean Joe average fan) have to understand that the defense has an entire, coordinated scheme and game plan to disrupt the offense. It sounds cliche, but there is a chess match taking place between the schemes, formations, personnel groupings, and play calls. In Clemson's case, they also have players with NFL talent and size to make things happen or take preferred options away above and beyond the scheme, even when the offense executes perfectly.
Stop. They have met expectations pre-season or otherwise. If Dino says this line is only behind the 2018 OL and we’re 6-1 and for most of the game yesterday, GS had time? They are fine.
From looking back at it I think it was a called QB draw with Hoeh as the lead blocker that the Clemson defensive line just completely blew up.
I've been a broken record here. The staff does not seem to think they can get it done. Why? Beats me. Not all freshman are ready to play right away and Price wasn't good enough to beat out Allen.
But you have to also have options. Clemson took away out one good WR. Tucker is hurt and they don't have confidence in the back ups. We just didn't have options against a much more talented team. When you're the underdog, you have to have your best players available to have a realistic shot.
