How can you say the OL is pretty good" when we can't block 3 with 5, and when we do run we can't get push or get to the LBs? Yes Leach needs more "creativity", but running doesn't work if you need to have 7 blockers to handle 5 men boxes. Just like passing doesn't work if you have our 2017-18 WRs. We need a zone read to eliminate the DE as a number, or an RPO reading a LB and slipping a WR behind him so if he drops into zone we know he's eliminated from the run play and if he holds up there's a gap in the zone.
One thing I think gets missed is how horrible our WRs are at blocking. Many times what should go as a 6-8 yard gain to the RB/WR on a quick pass goes for 1 because the WR failed to block the guy closest. They really are terrible at it.
I agree on Rogers. He looked better than KJ, literally can't play worse, and might be our future. Play him.
Our defense held Arky to 275 yards of O. UGa and Auburn held Arky to 280 and 437 yards respectively. Our defense held Kentucky to 157 yards. Auburn and OM held them to 384 and 559. We gave up 425 to LSU but so far that's their season low by far. WHen will you accept that the D is good? Of course A&M (if Mond is good) and Bama will score a lot. Being a solid/good defense doesn't = you'll never have a bad game vs teams with good Os, it means your well above the average defense, which we are
