man, SCAR is running all over Alabama but of course the Tide is winning lol. But when it gets nitty gritty time the defense steps up. Just goes to show you ain’t going to kill everybody every week and be satisfied of just winning. You’d think we lost if you read the post on PennLive lol

Limegrover needs to get this offensive line in order, it's absolutely unacceptable that they're still getting killed in the middle.

4 star talent, and they're getting beat on stunts and other things not just pushed around. The communication in the interior is poor

#62 and Slade need to block better. Having guys leaving early kind of hurt.

I'm a die hard but the older I become the more realistic I get. I agree with Roam 100%. This team will be lucky to win 7-8 games this year and I'm tired of the BS about needing another year .....There is not one big nasty on the O'line. If they go better than 7-5/8-4 that will be great and I'll eat what I've said but I don't think I'll have to. In regards to Rahne, I'd expect an upgrade, his play calling ain't nothing to write home about.

I want to see more of Cain, I think we need a downhill power runner like him

Could not agree more this should be a separate thread. I would be curious to hear the opinions of those who feel different and reasoning behind those opinions.

Let’s hope you eat it lol. 3-0 baby going for 4-0. Just be happy with the win regardless how they look. I’d rather win and look bad than lose and look great. The W is all that matters!

The only problem with winning ugly against inferior teams is that it catches up to you when you play equal or better. Like I said I'm a die hard but I'm not seeing a whole lot of improvement with the O'line or offense in general and that to me is a combination of coaching and overrated players.

USC, Maryland, Michigan State... All ranked teams who lost to unranked teams.

Two more ranked teams are currently losing: Florida & Iowa.

Sometimes it's just not your night, but good teams still find a way to win. The hope is you play better next game 😂

I am tired of the excuses regarding the OLine...This guy left early and all the B.S....ENOUGH...It's been how many years now and the OLine hasn't improved...They can't pass block and they can't run block...I am telling ya right now...If this doesn't get fixed they are gonna lose 4 or 5 games this season...this isn't hyperbole or overreacting but facts...Clifford is gonna get hurt if he keeps running for his life like he is...This offense is stale...Same nonsense game after game...

The front 4 on the D needs to start getting some penetration and apply some pressure as well...They have now played 3 games...

Does anybody think they have improved? That is what scares me....

Tackles are fine, but we just haven't developed up the middle. I agree the center and two guards NEED to play better, if not we need a new OL coach. This line should be much better up the middle. However, I don't this it is talent... it is missed assignments. The middle of our line is too easily confused by defenses stunting and moving around.

Maybe the offensive scheme doesn't match up with the strength of the offensive players, hence get a new coach who understands that or recruit what you need for the system you want to run. Additionally I see no leader on the O'line, none.

Your scheme is limited when you can't block anybody. It all starts up front and this nonsense with this OLine has been going on for the last 4 years or so. Every year the same lame excuses. ENOUGH...The talent is there...DEVELOPE them and straighten this out...The problem I see is that this has been going on for years and I don't see them fixing this in 2 weeks...

Honestly Clifford has been better than I expected him to be and the rest of the team looks really good. The defense is tremendous. The WR's are catching the ball and the RB's are elite. If they can get this OLine squared away this team could be a championship team. I am just sick and tired of the excuses. enough is enough. Fix it or get somebody in here that can and will fix it. 

The OLine is the only thing keeping this team from being a championship caliber team...

2018-9-4 and we all know why we didn’t win 11 games and it wasn’t because of the OL play.

2019-3-0...brother,  this ain’t bad? I’d say we’re in the top 10 in wins in this span? Like my man navylion says....this is the facts lol

That may be true Southern but I think the superior talent of Barkley and great decision making plays of Mcsorley masked a great deal of the O line deficiencies.

Hawaii, I believe I was wrong about your guy J. Brown, he’s definitely our best RB and I believe now he should get most of the snaps. He’s looking pretty dang good when he gets the ball. Each year is different and you might be right about Barkley and McSorley but it might be with defense we win with this year and hope the offense doesn’t beat us. We lost a lot on offense but I believe they’ll come around in the next couple of games. Right now the defense is what will win games for us and the one thing James Franklin is good at is finding a way to win regardless of how the wins come. I’ll take 3-0 especially after watching all the upsets this year lol

Geez Southern, I'm surprised anyone remembered he's my hometown guy. I always knew he had the talent and the state record books is proof of his speed. I'm glad he's getting the chance to show it now. I agree that the defense is solid but it just seems like every time we get them 3rd and long their QB makes NFL good throws to covered receivers. I also don't think this offense looks like the same RPO or even an RPO at all. Clifford just isn't the same running threat that Mcsorley was and the defenses seem to know and not respecting it.
