Both are irrelevant to what the current coach's system is. Running the spread offense requires different linemen than the power running game. You need a faster, more mobile guy as opposed to the road graders currently on the roster. Denver's line is an example of the type of player that's needed now.
I think you'll find out how "untalented" these players are as the year goes on. We'll probably get 6 wins and to me that's not exactly dripping with talent.
I took a peek at WVU's offensive line as compared to UofM's, and was surprised to see the faster more mobile guys out weighed the road graders (Does UofM O-line really have a freshmen that is under 250lbs?)."This is an empty signature. Because apparently carrying a quote from anyone in this space means you are obsessed with that person. "

Suck may be too strong of a work if you're talking the entire 18 years, they had a few good teams. But you won't get that much of an argument from me, the program has disappointed.

After finishing watching the Miami(Ohio) game I'm much more confident about the season. When UMich looked like they were actually running the Offense, it moved. I think by the end of the season, they might be a decent offense.
Stevie Brown is horrific though.To be a professional means that you don't die. - Takeru "the Tsunami" Kobayashi

He looks lost. Recievers have been wide open in both games, and the linebackers have been slow to react too. I'm mostly concerned about the offensive line, which is thin and getting thinner. The defense will be on the field far too much this year.I'll let you ban hate speech when you let me define hate speech.

I'd imagine a fumble in six touches has something to do with it.
I do think I agree. I like McGuffie, but he goes down much too easy for me. He doesn't seem to be able to "swerve" and make the guy miss enough to break the tackle, or at least get another two yards.To be a professional means that you don't die. - Takeru "the Tsunami" Kobayashi

Originally posted by Rocky Bleier View PostMinor has been running with a lot of enthusiasm and doesn't go down as easily as McGuffie or Shaw. I don't care if he doesn't fit the offense; he's been the most effective back. He needs to play, especially since the o-line hasn't demonstrated the ability to consistently block anyone so far.To be a professional means that you don't die. - Takeru "the Tsunami" Kobayashi
