Message: [QUOTE="SuRaider307, post: 3181503, member: 7082"] I really did enjoy the OL play today.. I saw the center hold his ground.. I saw some things that makes me think they have changed there aggressiveness on the line.. and I absolutely loved the fact that when they pulled, they got to there spots and found guys to put a body on... I have said all along.. we have average talent on the OL... not bottom 5 talent.. and YES this was largely a coaching/talent eval/ not putting guys in the right spots to be successful issue with a touch of schematic change. We do not lose to NC ST with this OL play and it frustrates me because if an ex high-school coach can easily see it.. then someone getting paid 100's of K a year at Div 1 level should have seen it and fixed it before things became a dumpster fire. I want TO BE CLEAR HERE... I like Babers and for me.. he is the guy... I want to lead this team... and I am all in with him... but I have very serious questions about other coaches under him.. IMO more than one time we have had guys NOT sitting that should have been.. going all the way back to SHY last year... nobody can convince me that Foster hasn't deserved to be benched, and after what I have seen with guys stepping up in other positions that weren't given a chance.. We might have a better, higher upside guy that should have been getting more playing time.. Coley has had some run.. but there are others that I think have more upside than him that have not had the chance... I don't see them in practice and its just a hunch.. but from what I have seen.. I don't have complete confidence that the best/right guys are playing at every position. What value does Riley bring to the O or return game at this point? Someone else couldn't get more experience and growth? I thought we would win 7 maybe 8.. I still believe we have the talent that should have got to those numbers and in my mind, some of the schemes and what I perceive to be coaching has been to blame for 75% of it. I hope we can win the last 2 so its not a lost season.. I still hope an honest evaluation will be done by Babers in the off season because a couple more guys probably need to be put on notice on his staff.. [/QUOTE]
