NDs O-LIne

[BGI-CANADA]

Is it just me - or is the ND O-Line highly overrated? Heard all the excuses from last season.

They looked good against Temple - but against SEC competition?...................

Most over rated line coached by the most over rated O line coach.

 

[IrishFan76]

The o-line never shows up against solid competition. More of the same tonight. Very disappointing.

 

[HillRock86]

They ****in suck.....1st round pick my ass

Totally overrated. Where are the guys on this board who were shitting themselves over the rushing yards against Temple. A disgrace.

Temple lols!

McGlinchey whiffing all night, gets no protection on his side of the line to help him. Not a chip, not a TE, NOTHING.

The last series summed up their performance

Pathetic!

Holy Smokes is McFlinchey overrated! He might have played himself out of the first round tonight.

 

[amazingreis]

Totally agree! Whoever drafts McFlinchey is getting duped by the hype.

He's an All-America for Pete's sake and a potential first round pick. He shouldn't need the help.

 

[Hofman19]

Every series for the past five years has summed it up.

It's a line of posers; the name and faces change, but the results never do.

But don't worry, we'll run for 400 yards again when he play Army/Navy with their 210-pound DEs.

Re watched some of the Temple game. The runs were made by the RB's breaking arm tackles at the LOS. Very few holes were opened up by the O line.

this loss is truly on the o-line. Wimbush hardly had any time to stand in the pocket and throw

That just is not true - watch the tape - their were huge holes. Tonight they got their asses kicked by guys who will play in the NFL, not work for Fed/Ex and Enterprise Rent a Car/

McGlinchey should've went Pro .... he's a 3rd round pick at best .... having some off plays is one thing ... he got exposed .... whiffing time and time again ..... how long does it take to see you need to keep an extra blocker in .... defenders coming free ALL DAY

Does anyone else hate the QB read .... the worst play in college football .... that play gets blown up over half the time .... easily for ND

ND's O-line cost them the game today ... zero run or pass blocking ... the better team won today

 

[Uncle Money]

If Georgia had stuck to the run instead of trying to pass all over with a Freshman I don't think the score would have been that close. As for the O-Line...Good God. First round picks. Yeah right.

 

[faviles15]

O-Line could not have played any worst

The ND O Line is always overrated and overhyped. They get destroyed every time they play top competition.

 

[nptb]

Tommy Kraemer should get every snap at RT. I don't understand why they keep switching him with a freshman. Kraemer is better than McGlinchy for that matter.

 

[DieHard_Irish]

McGlinchy is total over rated, as is Heistad (sp)

 

[tbonesays]

We were running zone read all night. And precious few multiple TE sets that I recall. We might never know what woulda happened if we tried to run power against an SEC defense.

 

[Grabaka]

their OL will be fine once they get to the NFL and get real coaching

 

[bizzybecknd]

As a coach, you don't chip with the best left tackle in college football (allegedly).

Kelly is fearful of good teams. He does not have his players prepared. Instead he has them holding hands dancing on the sidelines.

 

[Irish2684]

Same old song and dance. Look decent vs medicore teams and get their tails whooped vs the good ones. McGlinchy was exposed big time. And no push at all to be able to run the ball.

 

[Toby Smart]

4th and a long one and BK kicks the FG. A real strong signal to the OL that your HC doesn't have any confidence in your ability. Problem is, the OL are his players and the OL are coached up by his staff. Reggie Brooks made an interesting comment in the post game show that is not really relevant to the current situation. He said he was never hit behind the LOS one time while at ND. Not once. He said it so it must be true I'm guessing.
