I still think it comes down to S&C and nastiness. Pass blocking involves a little more technique and athleticism than run blocking. I think we have both of those areas covered. Run blocking is man on man, strength vs. strenghth.

However, the past 2 years have proven that these guys are solid pass blockers, yet fall wayfully short in the running game. Where is the disconnect? I am just searching for answers as to why this unit has fallen so short for 2 straight season.Dooms Day Dawghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05251166231958793243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8134468339313902988.post-305094817457269442010-10-20T18:44:11.704-04:002010-10-20T18:44:11.704-04:00If your a high school lineman being recruited to p...If your a high school lineman being recruited to play in the SEC, I'm pretty sure the guy isn't specialized in pass blocking. I get what your saying and some kids do excel in one over the other, but if that's the case, we need to start recruiting better players. I still think it boils down to S&C and not having that toughness you saw from guys like Breedlove, Velasco, and Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8134468339313902988.post-89603331860386823322010-10-20T18:38:39.222-04:002010-10-20T18:38:39.222-04:00I have a theory, however, I am not sure if it hold...I have a theory, however, I am not sure if it holds much water. The Dawgs O-line is an extremely veteran group that was brought in during the Stafford era. During this era the Dawgs were a pass 1st team. I wonder if these guys were strong passing blockers in high school brought in for that purpose with hopes of coaching them up in the run game. Last season the O-line only gave up 12 sacks (Dooms Day Dawghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05251166231958793243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8134468339313902988.post-69731551063540402692010-10-20T16:54:49.507-04:002010-10-20T16:54:49.507-04:00Just wait for the Kentucky game this weekend for p...Just wait for the Kentucky game this weekend for proof that our S&C is an issue....the line play will show it.Keesenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8134468339313902988.post-23827678037708909012010-10-20T15:54:15.322-04:002010-10-20T15:54:15.322-04:00We've have had some bright spots here and ther...We've have had some bright spots here and there in the running game and our pass blocking seems to do very well at times. Lets be realistic though , the so called improvement has been against much lesser talent the past two weeks. The team is still having problems in the red zone settling for 3's instead of TD's. Kentucky may shed light if the Dawgs really have improved that much.

All the Carolina linemen mentioned that they were surprised by how quickly the Dawg linemen wore down. That was the game plan for them going in but a number of their players were shocked how quickly it happened.<br /><br />We have a S&C program that was top notch in 1990.

That fact alone should compel the staff to completely reevaluate the strength and conditioning. Just look at the type of injuries. <br /><br />The conditioning aspect is another matter.

This team still can't run block through wet paper bag if its life depended on it. Seems that UGA has to earn every yard in short yardage situations while other teams do it with such ease against UGA. What is wrong with our strength and conditioning at UGA? Its obvious as hell.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
