Watching a replay of the game. There is no O line push. Somethings wrong
On the plane to Atlanta so watching a replay of the UNM game.
ND has a O line size advantage but doesn’t get any push. They are not very physical. I would think if I was Quinn and Kelly watching game film I would try to fix this right? WTF?

ND’s line is in a 2 point stance way too much IMHO

I think that they were tanking with complex blocking schemes
I’m hoping he’s just setting Ga up. The alternative is too painful to contemplate.

O-line is fine.
RBs aren’t hitting the right holes at the right tempo and Book is getting happy and looking short.

The line, specifically the center and guards, don't re-establish the LOS.

It’s rarely I see pulling guards or a sweep play. Why not get under center with a full house
backfield. Why also stay in the shot gun? I don’t get it.

Indeed. I've been asking myself those questions for years.

Problem is systematic.
They play too high and "catch" defenders too much. They all do it, and have for years, so it has to be how they're being taught.
Can't get push if you're standing up and waiting for defenders to come to you. Even the times they do go attack a defender they rarely go past the LOS. It's like they're being taught to just get in the defenders' way.

Maybe they spend to much time learning to pass block. But Book won’t stay in the pocket.

No clue what they spend time practicing,
but sure isn't short yardage situations.
Thread Level: 2
Kelly's offensive scheme has never had a strong short yardage package and the inability to.......
control the ball at crunch time has cost us numerous games including the one point loss to Georgia when we had the ball and a one point deficit with time running out and all we had to do was get into field goal range and it will cost more games unless Kelly admits we have a problem and finally does something about it.

We haven't had a physical o-line since Coach Moore. It's been about finesse since then.

Yeah the o-line has been really poor for the past 30 years
What are these NFL teams thinking, drafting ND linemen so high? They must be really quick learners making All-Pros and rookie Pro Bowlers...

I don't recall saying the line has been really poor for the last 30 years. Did I write that?

Come on man. The NFL scouts see impressive lineman that just need coaching. Why can’t
they get a one yard first down at ND but be all pro in the NFL. Could it be coaching?

This isn’t the best line of the past 5 years
But they’re doing their jobs. Watch the games again with missed running lanes. And my nfl comment was more geared towards UMND. Finesse =~soft in my book and that’s a shallow argument considering the players BK has coached to high draft picks. NFL teams rarely draft project linemen in the first round without some sort of combine freakishness. If anything, teams had more concern that players like Zach Martin and Quentin Nelson were closer to a finished product nearing their ceiling. Obviously not a major concern considering their performance. There’s also McGlinchy and Stanley.

Yeah, the light must’ve come on real fast. Just needed a quick lesson

Did you catch :Luck and number 54 just looking on with what Nelson did to that guy?

He's a beast, but individual talent doesn't always translate into group success. Gong!

Except he wasn’t an individual success. They won the JOE MOORE award for best line just 2 years ago.
