It could also be a combo of technique, strength training vs recruiting big jags.  I know Paul Wadlington has been harping about the technique of the interior guys (and possibly S&C but im not too sure since our DL last few years were strong).

ScipioTex wrote extensively about the problem with Greg Davis' line recruiting not matching his offense. Demanding reach blocks from guys who were better at driving. I haven't read him in years. One of the best writers on the internet for my money.

Since Sark has been here its been a problem. I will be honest for a minute here. I've been talking shit on this thread to a few people who were very loud last year. However, the reality is that we've sucked in the interior in the Sark era. Bijan and Rojo made their own yards. Brooks was good at that too. In pass pro the LG has been an issue for a long time too. Last year whenever we played quality fronts we couldn't get a push at all. Even Arizona St was stoning us up front, and blowing up our OZ with penetration. I'm beyond baffled because it's carried over so many different dudes. It simply hasn't mattered who we've put there the problems have persisted. 

Well there is only one constant and it is Flood. Gerry talks about him at Alabama as a way to excuse Flood but I don't think he either recruited or had a final say on who got recruited to play OL at Alabama. These are his guys and his pupils and they suck. Finally Coach Shipley put Gerry in his place by saying the OL is all Flood's fault because he is either not teaching them to deal with the stunts they are seeing or his recruiting guys that can do what he wants them to do.

I said a while ago (when Pittman got fired) that I would like to see an NFL OL coach come in. I think there are some issues with our pass pro schemes. Florida was able to dictate match ups (RB on DE 1 on 1). Georgia abused them last year. I dont know OL play. I am sure there is someone in here that knows OL better, than can talk about this.

So for those who know more than me about OL play (which is every one of you) -- how would you grade Stroh vs Brooks on Saturday?  I assume Stroh is a uniform "F".

I actually know less about OL play than you do...but my answer is that the only positive Brooks brought to the game on Saturday was that he is not Stroh.  That's about all I've got....

Brooks is a freshman and shouldn't be playing in any sane world.

PFF grades:

Stroh - 48.8

Brooks - 0.0

Stroh is the taller midget at this point

I hate pff

its better than most, but it is definitely not perfect (especially for CFB). It is a solid data point, but not the end all be all.
