They just can't hold their blocks long, especially in pass blocking. TT bails them out with his shiftyness, and RW does as well in the run game. I just hope the young guys BDC, Via, Brooks, Nosal, Lanier all get significantly better next year.

Go hit somebody and if they beat you so be it. You figure out where somebody's zone is and overload to another spot. On the techsideline site, b-street was talking about no trickeration and I have asked that same question as well. Last year to start the season, a te and wideout that were both qb's in the past playing yet no reverses with a pass or backward pass to throw. Got my vent in for the week.

And I have noticed too the O-linemen standing around, but I thought they played pretty well against ECU overall.

He had half the talent BS has but at least our offense had identity and purpose. We did what we did, and we did it well. Yes, I hate to say it but I miss the Ricky Bustle days.

I could not agree more. I just laugh when we continue time and time again run to the short side of the field and give the other team a 12th defender. I was at the UNC game and really noticed it all night. Not gonna go with the standard "It is all BS's fault" but there is nothing to hang our hat on. Even with Michael Vick, we were a run first (and second and third down) team. Now it is take some option, throw in some Colts offense, etc offense. Problem is we do nothing great. Nothing to go back to and right the offense. Defense is not what it was the last few years but still I trust Bud more than Bryan. Well said. I could not agree more.
