our o-line needs a pulse

We have an O-Line?

THIS!

We're 8-2. Enjoy it for 5 f***[*] minutes, fellas!

I am enjoying AZ and we have played some tough opponents, but seriously the O Line is just not getting it done. Period!! Take Henderson and JJ off the field and we are in serious trouble. Our play calling is predictable and our O Line is a huge piece of Swiss cheese mixed with some milk toast. This is not the o- line of past years and something better get fixed - like yesterday. On a good note, this team has no quit in them.

Take Vernon Adams and Kupp off the field for EWU. Take McGee & Bleskin off he field for MSU. How do either of those two teams look? Well, we saw how MSU looked....they got fucking ROLLED by a mediocre SFA team. EWU needs every point they can muster with that defense, so they'd be in the same boat. OF COURSE we'd look shitty without JJ & Henderson...they're our best two offensive players.

We have just had a heck of a run though the toughest schedule I can remember.

I'm happy as hell at 8-2, but lets not get carried away here. Compare the schedules & opponent records of the past decade and you'll see this one is not one of the toughest we've had unfortunately.

The Griz have not yet beaten a team with a winning record against D1 opponents. They have played exactly two teams this year with D1 winning records. Not exactly a tough schedule. :? I am, however, happy to be 8-2 and this team definitely has a ton of heart! :clap: Hopefully, the win against a winning team will come in a couple of weeks.

Only 54 yards rushing is really pathetic though, and if we want to win in the playoffs we have to get the run game going.

this wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't on the griz menu as our "bread and butter" item...made in Montana by our oline......maybe coach d needs to work on a low cal plate that mixes it up more and uses more than 2 items on the menu as staples (that would be blocking and running) and broaden his selection as not to be so predictable and even presumptuous that we like to see the same foods on the menu all the time....say using our tight ends more creatively, short yardage passes (like what va did to us on first downs or dm did today to ew) and misdirection plays (this adds a third item to the staples) that can create nice chunks on first down or first downs on 3 and ___. even some of the players get bored eating the same food over and over.....but mostly it is the fans.......where's the dessert....oh yah, it is the playoffs and a seed with homer games.

ALPHA may kill me but, with the way this O-Line blocks, John Nguyen is built more for it. He is quick and can juke a tackler. Canada is a speed guy who does not juke anyone so if it is not there he is not making much. Lets see what Nguyen can do with his "shiftiness" until Van comes back.
