Message: [QUOTE="SuRaider307, post: 3161390, member: 7082"] I will die on this Hill.. We DO NOT have top 5 worst talent on the OL in FBS football.. Period.. When you have multiple positions along the line that are as bad as we have looked... There is an issue with scheme/coaching/offensive sets there has to be SOMETHING. We are not even picking up basic blitzes up the friggan middle correctly for Christ sake... The "coaching" is not translating and so we must ask why. From a mental stand point if what you are teaching is forcing guys to have to be thinking too much.. then yes you have a coaching problem. Its probably is a scheme/technique/combined with offensive flow problem. My biggest issue is really quite simple and IMO its a coaching issue.. We have been told the "best players" will play right? I find it hard to believe that any competent evaluator of talent could possible watch tape on the first 4 games and feel like Bergeron could not replace Alexander... He looked MILES better in just one game.. and I am guessing its just didn't "click" for him. So they either are really bad at talent eval in practice or they are playing favorites for one reason or another.. NEITHER ONE is a good showing for anyone at the major college level. Which brings me to Servais.. I said after game 4 he was the biggest problem on the OL.. NOW he definitely is... Because of the Bergeron situation, I don't have confidence in them with there choice to play him at center... I have doubt because of what we have seen with Bergeron and if they have the best line-up out there. I will always come back to what I think our talent level is.. I think we have mediocre OL talent... so the fact that we are playing bottom 5 worst in P5 tells me the coaches are not doing there job one way or another... [/QUOTE]
