Sophistry {l Wrote}:What is so disappointing is that the commentary here is so understood, except by the guys that need to implement or coach it. Anyway this gets nailed to the coaches door, as our list of grievances (no historical reference intended).
Sorry, but this is a bs excuse. We supposedly had one of the best OLs in the conference with 3 All-ACC players returning and only one new starter. On top of that our guys are supposed to be smarter than the average player.
It takes more than a learning curve to explain that putid performance.

Yeah 1 hour + to get to a blackboard or communicate in Sanskrit, the language Tranquill knew as a child, was too much to ask for guys who graduate 100% of the time and how about hit the motherfucker in front of you and if you see a blitz try and help out?
Is that fucking too difficult?
Hey we need a tight end to pick up or/and chip an outside blitzer and release into the flat for a quick huge gainer where the LB came from?
Hey RB's if you see a blitz, block and release into an open flat if the TE is not there?
WTF is this some mystery rocket science or Lesbian studies about the clitoris functions?
Tuggle can't execute or read, GLBT is a fossil fuck idiot, Spaz was a loser 10 years ago, and only a miracle like Marco Polo becoming Ryan overnight will solve all problems.
Snooptonydog {l Wrote}:Special props to ATLeagle. This pic says it all. What's wrong with this picture? It's like Junior High all over again where the QB has to go up and tap his Guard on his butt to tell him - ummm.... please fill in said gaping hole. Of note, I like how they have 2 small backs back there to help block. Harris and Haden can't pick up blitzes! WTF? Are you trying to get Harris injured trying to stop a DT steamrolling in? At least 1of them back there should have size.
BC923 {l Wrote}:why did we even switch from a zone blocking scheme. Dumbass move. We have 4 starters returning. 3 were all acc. They know how to dominate with the zone blocking. Wouldn't it be a great idea to change things up?! Hell no. I want to remain optimistic, maybe we'll change things up and go back to what we know how to do but honestly that was awful. The lineman were just lost in the man to man. I don't want to give up yet but it's tough.

Because old people like to challenge themselves mentally to stay sharp. Most try sudoku puzzles. Our old timer fiddles with offensive lines.
b0mberMan {l Wrote}:1413overut {l Wrote}:Clemson threw multiple defensive looks at the line. As the OL was quoted, many they had not seen on film.
That's the classic way of sticking it to a new O. You can have talent but an OL will not be at its best if they are unsure of who to block. That's not Tranquill's fault - yet. One of the reasons OLinemen don't appear overnight they need at least a season in a system to become fully confident.
It was Tranq's decision to take a unit that was very experienced, successful and confident in a system and have them learn a new system .Plus, two years ago, we installed a new system with less experience on the line and while there was certainly that hesitancy, mental mistakes and inconsistency with their play as they learned, it didn't go this poorly.
Someone screwed up.

wasn't one of Tranquil's biggest selling points is that he molds the system to the players and not the other way around? who the fxck perpetuated that lie?

I thought of that as well. If that's what he does, then why would he look at the strongest unit of offense and decide to change it up?
BC923 {l Wrote}:I don't get why uses power zone blocking when it requires a good fullback and we don't even have one fullback. Go back to the old system.

Probably, but quote Costanzo:
"It’s just frustrating looking back after a game and saying, ‘Why didn’t (we) let it loose instead of thinking too much?’
"It was very different from what we had seen on film,” said Castonzo.
He's telling you he doesn't get it yet. For one they are smarter, so it is fair to ask about the system. Yeah, I'm not happy with Tranquill but IMHO they were overrated last year. And despite the pixels of expertise above, a 3 on 1 is a symptom of "we don't get it".
