I wasn't all that impressed with how the offensive line performed last year (strongly disagree with the coach that it was one of the best lines in the country) but I don't think Steve should be laying all of that on John Phillips and Ben Petrula thinking that it will be even better this year. I certainly hope he's right. I think A J Dillon will be outstanding this year. I expect this team will run, run, and run some more, but I'd argue that is more A J just making things happen.

The OL was pretty good last year except for the Clemson game which is understandable. The idiotic play-calling limits then from shining even more.

Trying to repeatedly run against 8 and 9 man fronts is incredibly dumb play calling and even more difficult to block. Even in spite of the 7 TEs we utilize on most plays.

Does he think when he gets to 6 or 7 wins that puts the team on par with Clemson and Bama and it's just dumb luck who gets to 10-12 wins? No wonder this team goes 7-5 every year.

someone should tell him about 10 and 2 season.

Since that is where he spends 99% of his time, all of his overly positive energy naturally funnels to that position group. And they're trying to block an AAC Defensive Line this past Spring and Summer, so yeah, not buying all the O line smoke. The best O Lineman I have seen playing for BC in the last 5 years is a rookie with the Falcons.
What would be interesting, (but we would never ever hear):
- How the Offense is getting better at the 2 minute drill
- How the D Backs are working on game like communication scenarios to close the experience gap
- How we've figured out some new approaches/drills with our kickers, and we haven't missed any FG's and XP's in practice
- How they've been experimenting with different formations on Offense because we see on film that DB's in space want nothing to do with tackling AJ Dillon, but LB's shedding missed TE blocks blow him up before he can get going

-Where they add Hayden Mahoney who along with John -Phillip's are top 5 pass blockers in the ACC.

Mahoney may be starting against VTech, but as of today, he is not.

I'm strictly talking EOY grade outs by the stat gurus.
My point isnt that he is overblowing the o line, it's that there are literally so many other glaring directions he could have taken this

I am as much of a Daz critic on the board, but I do not agree with you that he should have dumped all over the team in the media day press conference.
