Let’s talk Offensive Line—key to 2019 season!

[Gator By Marriage]

“Among the three incoming freshmen this summer, there are also some guys who could quickly work their way into the rotation. Both Wardrick Wilson and Deyavie Hammond were considered more ready-to-play prospects than most who enrolled this spring, so it'll be interesting to see how quickly they pick things up early in fall camp. They could supplant the likes of White and Tarquin in the rotation if the transition is smooth.”




O.K.....I see Hammond had to go JUCO.....

I can never resist low hanging fruit.

If it’s an o-line thread, aren’t we obligated to discuss how Andrew Mike is in line for reps this year?

For those with a subscription, Will Sammon at the Athletic has a nice piece bolstering @Swamp Donkey ’s take that Hevesy will have the line pretty ready (or at least that the inexperience won’t be the major problem). I won’t paste much but this chart sums up Sammon’s work. If you aren’t subscribed, he’s the only one writing anything insightful beyond the Read and Reaction guy.

I think MSU lost a few linemen going from 2014 to 2015. Prescott threw for over 300 yards a game average in 2015 because they couldn't lean on the running game as much as 2014.

Yeah, the stats I posted in the chart show they only had 32 returning starters. That was the point of the chart. They had 8.2 yards per pass that year.

So advanced from the days of Grad Transfer Mason Halter, RT from Fordham who couldn’t bench 220 even one time on Pro Day!.......Hevsey’s got this boys.......Sky’s the limit!

On a separate note: Yards per Pass ...

 

[Swamp Donkey]

Sideways offense dude. Average pass is 2 yards with 4 yards yac.

I hate throwing in front of the LBs.

That chart brought home Mullens "passing attack".
Oh how the mighty hath fallen.

On any particular play, is there something in Mullens' offense that actually prevents a down field pass?

You can resolve this problem by not watching, or perhaps becoming a UGA fan.

It seems almost impossible to maintain the low passing yards per play ... for a decade.
Crap... I wish I hadn't seen that chart.

This is quite interesting. I was coming to say I thought UF is probably one good OL away from having confidence that every year this staff will have them ready. I still believe that, but I think your data should cause us to be cautiously optimistic for this year.

Yes, the coach.

Mullen threw the ball downfield plenty last year. Unfortunately most of them were overthrown or underthrown.....

Exactly! That's one of the problems with this style of offense. Also part of the reason it will be hard to get blue chip WRs here. Can you imagine selling short passes and blocking to a five star WR? Lol
