Hard to blame scheme when they're just not winning blocks, not getting to the second level, missing assignments. OL has just been bad. All this rotation has not helped.*

Thread:

Maybe for McQ or knowers - it seems the blocking scheme changes up front are a big difference and taking way more time than expected for the O line. Is that correct?* - By django September 19, 2026 at 05:26:07 PM

  - Potentially they just don't like this O line and that's where Whit's comments that you wouldn't see the full Harding influence for 2 years. * - By django September 19, 2026 at 05:33:41 PM
    - indeed you tend to recruit zone vs gap in your HS prospects. * - By Nikos September 19, 2026 at 05:34:44 PM
- yes, zone to gap adjustment * - By Nikos September 19, 2026 at 05:26:47 PM
  - we all just glossed over this and i think it’s a big deal. this is a two year process. have to weather the storm first half of the season. - By DetUMICH September 19, 2026 at 05:27:56 PM
    - why change when you have a strong run game and OL? Seems a bad decision by Whit* - By Rich September 19, 2026 at 05:33:09 PM
      - having your staff teach a scheme you haven’t used seems worse. - By DetUMICH September 19, 2026 at 05:47:41 PM
      - it's a real fingerprint thing, it's part of the offense. I don't oppose the adjustment but it should have been taught much better by now. * - By Nikos September 19, 2026 at 05:34:08 PM
    - this direction should be a lot easier/faster than the reverse. * - By Nikos September 19, 2026 at 05:29:24 PM
      - i’m not enough a ball knower, so i grant that.* - By DetUMICH September 19, 2026 at 05:30:01 PM
        
        zone is more complicated with assignment and timing. gap is hit gap win gap * - By Nikos September 19, 2026 at 05:30:41 PM
        
        nice summary. that said i can see how you might look timid while getting out of the analytical mentality.* - By DetUMICH September 19, 2026 at 05:32:49 PM
    - two year process to get to kickass OL. we should be (more) functional this year tho* - By DetUMICH September 19, 2026 at 05:28:39 PM
