We keep talking about the athletic D-linemen in the SEC and that is true. But the LB's and DB's are much more athletic too. When they are dropping 8 and covering the entire field against our 5, we simply can't get rid of it quickly b/c no one has time to get open except for the checkdowns. It's a losing propostion for the offensive tackles. They aren't near as bad as posters are making them out to be. Sure you can always execute better and sometimes it will work, but this is 90% a scheme problem.
We have SEC players on our team too.
