    Having said that, I though Cole looked decent at LG when he came in. But Cole did not look good at Center.
    I agree about Cole.

    We have talent on the OL and guys that have been solid players in the SEC for the last couple of years.

    The system is making these guys worse. Thats the bottom line. Just like in 2009- it was mazing how much better the OL was once we changed systems. The OL can only do so much
    No, we don't have good OL personnel. Our 2 most talented guys are Cross and Johnson, but only Cross is playing well and BOTH are young and BOTH have literally zero experience. Parker is the only returning starter that was pretty good- Eiland has always been exposed as having really slow feet. It happened all the time in '18. Smith is young and has literally no experience. Lastly, we have a DL starting at C. Of our 6 main OL, 3 are young and had no experience, 2 have experience (only 1 was good), and 1 is a DL. But sure, we have "talent and experience"... you just make stuff up sometimes.

    Moreover, it's kinda ironic that you openly use the fact Leach has always had good OLs as proof his system itself is broken. I wonder what you'd say if his last 2 OLs at WSU were horrible? Yet his last 2 were really good and you literally use that to say the system fundamentally is broken. Again, you just see what you want to see

    And last week you literally said that pick 6's should count against our defenses' points allowed stats because once the ball is intercepted the "offense becomes the defense". You say anything, no matter how dumb it is, if you think it prevents you from admitting you've been wrong.

    You forgot to mention how our center can't even snap the ball properly. It's always high or low, making things worse on the QB. Hell, he snapped the ball early against LSU when KJ wasn't even looking.

    Pass block? A basic skill that every OL should have picked up in pee wee league.

    How dare we expect MSU offensive linemen to do that?**

    you think it's easy ? ... Run blocking is way easier than pass blocking ... that's coming from a left tackle
    OXFORD, Miss. (WTVA) - Ole Miss campus police ask students to behave at future baseball games following a recent incident.
    The university said students were reportedly throwing rocks at Georgia baseball players during last weekend's series.

    Yet we get no push an often let DL or LBs that should be picked up slip through. Vs 3 DL and a 5 man box, we run for 2 yards. So even if you say pass blocking is complicated that's not really enough to excuse the OL

    Not true. Hevesy wanted Saahdiq Charles but we didn't get him. He was a Louisiana transplant guy. Once LSU really wanted him, we were not getting him.
