Thinking of another team as "inferior" = how you lose games.

Have seen way too much talking from the OLine this year
Nov 20, 2011, 10:32 AM

We need to have an OLine that is mean enough the media doesn't want to talk to them.
Less talk, more blocking!

Sorry that it took 50+ games into his career to see what was happening. Impossible to coach linemen to be mean and tough. You recruit them.

If you don't know who to block hit someone!! When 5 "d" players are in the backfield.....that usually a good indication the entire line.... whiffed their blocks!

finish. Talent wise they are not "inferior". Knowing that we approached the game with that attitude, it is not surprising they got it handed to them.

Sorry, but the time to be a leader was three weeks ago when the Yellow Jackets were knocking you around.

Nov 20, 2011, 5:10 PM

we just not post anymore O-line articles until they have proven something? Every season we hear this same stuff from them about how "tough and nasty we are". But they aren't and haven't been in a very long time. I'm just tired of hearing that talk every year while we consistently can't pick up 2 yards when we need it.
They were supposed to be the strength of this team, but our rushing numbers have been underwhelming. Why wouldn't teams drop into coverage like they have been if we can't get 4-5 yars consistently on a 4 man front.

I know everyone wants to hang all this on the coaches, but his comments show where the problem lies. No matter how good the coaches do, the players have to have that beat the world attitude. When you think all you have to do is show up and win, this is what happens. And yes a lot of this falls on the seniors,especially with so many freshmen and sophmores. They dropped the ball. Saw it happen several times when I was a football manager, the most painful was the 1965 game against the coots wwhen the seniors just didn't care. And we lost at home.

If there is a player on our Clemson Tiger team

that doesn't care, they need to be released from their scholly today. Every game counts, every game has to be played as if it were the last time you would step on the field! What I have seen the past 3 games is the same as we had under Bowden. The mental toughness to play each down with the same high intensity and focus is hit and miss. This is what separates great teams from mediocre teams.
Dabo wants them to play like champions just like us fans do but somehow the mental/emotional part of the game is lacking. Not saying I know how to correct it! If I did, I would be making 2 Million a year.
We still cannot deal with adversity.
Go Tigers and somehow find a way to beat USuC!!

NOW is the time to be a leader???
Nov 20, 2011, 10:03 PM

Are you serious? NOW is the time to be a leader? we're 11 games in and NOW u wanna be a leader? That should've been the case after the first two games when our O-Line was looking very suspect. We have, statistically, one of the biggest (weight/height-wise) O-Lines in the country and one of the more veteran groups and if I'm not mistaken, an offensive lineman LOVES to do more run blocking schemes because they get to plow the DL to the ground but we can barely even do pass protection. WE ARE SOFT!!! I gave them the benefit of a doubt but honestly I can't defend my team if they arent putting any effort in this. In order to even be in close competition against USuCk we absolutely have to be more physical because USuCk's DL isn't gonna let up for anything. Clemson needs to get to a "nasty" mentality...quick!!! I believe in my squad, we just need to get NASTY, i mean like straight up MEAN. Until then, we'll continue to be mediocre...like typical Clemson football. I'm tired of it, let's change this thing.
GO TIGERS

gotten any better
I can't say it's the coach because it was the same way the last several years,
it has to be the talent on the OL. everyone can run the ball and run it at times with power, NOT Clemson
I don't see them getting any better in a week
