Would like to get everyone's opinion on this. It is my understanding that Matt Campbell brought in an entirely different philosophy when it comes to strength and conditioning for certain positions. Basically, more strength and beef up front, with less importance placed on slim athletic types.
My question would be would something like that hinder guys who had been under the previous strength and conditioning program, and lead to things getting worse before they get better as they transition to a different model.
I understand why the defensive line is bad, we really have no talent there as our two defensive tackles are big but career backups. However, I am a bit surprised at how bad our offensive line has been in run blocking. There doesn't seem to be much push at all. I think we have decent backs, but man they get hit in the backfield a lot.
I thought bigger and beefier was going to make our lines better. Maybe there is an adjustment period.
I’m very surprised the OL is so bad but the OC has done absolutely nothing to establish the run the dude is just pass happy. When it’s 2nd and 2 run the ball again until the defense stops it. The OL was supposed to be a strength this year from everything I heard over the summer. Friday morning I was listening to locked on and Brian Smith was on and he said we didn’t have enough NFL future players and it would take MC 2 or 3 years to fit that problem but did believe he would get it fixed. It’s going to take time I guess.
