Root of all the offensive woes

This team can’t run the ball

How did we go from putting up monster numbers with virtually the same offensive line and assistant coach. Is there something wrong with the scheme or is it the players not getting the push they need?

No QB can compete in the NFL if you’re forced to be one dimensional.

Both guards are hurt and they went from a power-type offense to a zone-stretch, plus Sanders isn't that explosive. I think the guard play is the biggest factor though.

Its absolutely mostly scheme, but its also personnel fit.  Whatever theyre asking the OL to do in the run game is not their strengths, and as an extension, what theyre asking Sanders to do behind them is just as bad of a fit.

Remember, how bad our run game looked last year before Rhule was fired?  Then when Wilks took over, they shifted to a different blocking scheme and put Foreman in and started putting up record numbers.  Same guys blocking...  it's mostly scheme.

Strong argument, why not just scheme according to their strengths, look at the tape from last year and introduce the same concepts

Scheme. Playcalls. And predictability.  All that matters. 

89 and commented on it last week. You can’t say a OL can’t run block or a RB can’t run….when opponents know what you are doing.  They are just going to beat you if they know. 

Biggest issue is Frank Reich.  His predictable calls.  Too much shotgun.  And you can’t do what he has done these past two weeks running just Miles.  It makes it even more comical.  Hubbard is now a tip.  It’s a pass play.   Every time for 2 weeks.   Frank’s poo play calling was aided week 1 because there  at least was some uncertainty about run/pass with Hubbard.

      Texas A&M Nic Scourton vs. Purdue Nic Scourton

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      I’m honestly not trying to argue with you or talk bad about Scourton, I like him and I’ve watched all of his Purdue stuff/videos you linked previously. Just like I’ve watched all of Princely’s Florida stuff I’m only pointing out the weight thing because I’m excited about the idea of him being 255-260 and being more of a stand up edge here in Carolina like he was at Purdue versus at A&M And like you, I have a crap load of experience doing the whole cutting/weight/fitness thing and I know how crappy/sluggish I feel when I’m holding as little as an extra 8-10lbs of unnecessary weight. So for Scourton to come out and say he’s 255-260 now and feels good that’s exciting based on what he’s put on film at 280 and not feeling his best

      2024 College Football Thread

      I hate seeing this. I'm not sure he was ever going to make it in the NFL without the injury but that injury knocked FSU out of the college football playoffs and cost him and them and opportunity on the biggest stage in college sports. The injuries are the worst part of this game. They've created a nearly unending list of "what ifs". Hell, every HS, college, and pro team out there has a long list of them. It's also a good reminder that there's no such thing as a routine major injury. Even though sports medicine has improved dramatically in recent decades, major injuries are still somewhat of a coin flip on how a guy is going to emerge from it.

      I don't know what Texas A&M was doing with their edge rushers. They had two freaks in Scourton and Shemar Stewart and yet instead of turning them loose they asked them to play 20 lbs overweight and just set the edge. That's full-on coaching malpractice at any level. Much was made about Shemar Stewart's lack of sack production, but while he wasn't my favorite prospect this year a lot of that was clearly what they were asking him to do. The good news with Scourton is that, unlike Stewart, did manage to be a huge factor as a pass rusher despite this and despite playing 20 lbs overweight. If he can stay around 260-265 it should help him re-gain some of that explosiveness from his Purdue days.
