Starting to get a little concerned
Aug 11, 2012, 6:13 PM
|

about Joe Gore and Kalon davis. Was hoping Gore would see this as an oppportunity to take the job and run but sounds like hes still developing and struggling a bit. I know hes only been on the OL for just about a year now. I hope Giff can get back sooner than they hope he can. With Kalon im not as worried because we have a lot of options for the gaurd spot than we do tackle. I think ryan norton may get the job if kalon continues to be inconsistent. At tackle I wouldnt be shocked if reid webster started getting reps...talked to some who said he has really improved his footwork and has gotten much better

we may have to move one of the better backup guards or even Freeman out to tackle. Sounds like norton could play center if necessary. very disappointed with the struggles at tackle and the apparent inabilty of the coaches to develop solutions. just a problem year after year

well the tackle spot has been an issue but I feel its being adressed...Theres a lot of potential with battle and gore but they just arent ready. Shaq anthony is also one that is starting to come along but for some reason we just missed on kids and made some bad jusdgements on kids in the past at the tackle spot. Battle and gore should be the future at those spots and I like the maverick morris kid for 2013.

I'd give the coaches a little time here

Gore and Anthony are redshirt freshmen and Battle a true freshman. Not exactly a lot of experience there and that's the issue. Plus, Caldwell has been here 1 full season. Landon Walker started 4 years for us at RT, and injuries happen. I'm not going to get all worked up over 1 scrimmage, and they've already said they'll look at Freeman there and Norton at C if none of the freshmen come along

Here is where the improvements really begin
Aug 11, 2012, 6:37 PM

film is now available. I like what Tajh said, it wasn't a lack of physicality, just missed assignments. That's what the freshmen, and Davis, need to get down. They will. I have no problem moving Freeman outside. If Bama can move their Outland Trophy winning LT to center, we can move our All-ACC center to RT

I think if Timothy isn't ready by AU

you start Freeman at RT. Then work the guys vs Furman and Ball st, that is why you play cream puffs early

Let me be hypothetical about our OL for a moment...

[ in reply to I'd give the coaches a little time here ] |

Let's say Timothy comes back and solidifies the RT spot. Do you think Norton could start at LG over Davis if he continues to struggle?
I think there's a pretty good shot at Freeman playing RT actually. I don't think Timothy was really dominating at RT anyway, and it sounds like Norton is going to make it impossible to keep him off the field.

RT is the only real concern for me on the OL
Aug 11, 2012, 6:24 PM

Alot of talent on the OL. Gore needs to step up, but think if Timothy goes down Freeman would step into the tackle spot with Norton taking center as good as he has been. Not a big problem as some think it to be

I thought(well hoped) the light was gonna come on for gore and the RT spot would have the best position battle all camp. Timothy should be back by at least the ball state game but I think that if you have to move your starting center there then it is kind of an issue. Someone said that Shaq was getting reps at RT today in the scrimmage so that might be an answer. Gore has all the makings of an NFL tackle but just needs to put it together. Giff was really starting to come on(not sure hes an NFL guy yet) so I hope hes not out to long

Again Im not concerned about the position concerning talent because talent wise this is the best weve been in awhile...we are just young
