Being physical starts in the weight room. Having a tough mental attitude is fine, but if you haven't developed the strength and beef to back it up, you're not not going to be successful. IMHO, player development is the one major issue that Clemson has yet to rectify. Team strength and work in the weight room used to be a source of team pride in years past. I never hear it mentioned these days-----by coaches or players. And everyone is surprised that we can't knock people off the ball in short yardage situations. Hello! Duh.

I have been complaining about this very obvious problem for 5 years!! and all we get is Dabo saying we are fine!This huge and pitiful problem will not be corrected until we get a new S & C program!!

I get your point, but did you see any short yardage plays last year? Think!

when U have watched our lines(both)get pushed around by the likes of Wake and Wofford for years the thought must be that something is wrong!IMHO it simply comes down to out S & C program is just awful!did U see the c$$t game last year?? they made us look like a high school team.. I will not remind U about WVU!!!

No, you see...that kind of mentality is exactly

why it's so frustrating. The same ones with that sarcastic "you guys don't know what you're talking about" attitude are the ones bicching when we get mauled up front by teams like Wofford (remember?).
I'm all for letting the coaches do their jobs. But explain to me how we recruit from the same talent pool as teams like South Carolina, but get absolutely destroyed up front.
Something's gotta give. I'm tired of trying to out-athlete everybody.

Re: no you see...Again, it's the S&C program, or lack thereof. No effective player development. To me that's a sad fact, not sarcasm.

I agree with you

I was referring to the sarcastic "you're not a coach" response.
I've always held that S&C is a problem.

The easiest response to a comment people don't like is to say "are you a coach? " Anybody with any sense knows that people aren't limited to their one profession in their opinions. I guess nobody can be right unless they coach football, because we all know football is second only to brain surgery in intellectual requirements.

This is a problem the Tiger Offense has had for several years----one that should have been corrected long ago---one that absolutely HAS to be resolved during this off-season.

Bench pressing and squatting shouldn't be the basis for an athlete's workout.
Offensive and defensive linemen don't have their backs against a wall and aren't expected to press outward in that motion.
LSU, Bama, all the big programs use Olympic-style work outs, more or less. It's about creating POWER and SYNERGY, and targeted the fast-twitch muscle fibers that are required to blow a hole open and explode into a ball carrier.
I'm not saying bench and squat should be eliminated. I'm just saying that the top programs use a completely different S&C philosophy than Batson.

Love to go watch a summer workout just to see what they do but Im sure he uses old school lifts with plyometrics (sp) and the power cleans and things like that which bama and lsu use alot and just saying bench and squat do build fast twitch.

Here's a thought....

I used to be in the "Bash Batson" crowd too, but something dawned on me the last few weeks.
If there is a weakness in the program, the coaches will make the changes. Dabo has proven this 3x time now as head coach. Even further, if Coach Morris wants the O Line performing at a higher level he'll fix it the way it needs to be fixed. If it comes to the lifting program, I'm sure he'll push for changes.
