Comments on: Thursday’s Grab Bag: New Mexico State Week http://www.ourhonordefend.com/2009/10/thursdays-grab-bag-new-mexico-state-week.php we will fight to the end for O-HI-O, but we can't promise to be any good at it Sat, 11 Feb 2012 22:31:25 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Todd (Not Boeckman) http://www.ourhonordefend.com/2009/10/thursdays-grab-bag-new-mexico-state-week.php/comment-page-1#comment-3003 Todd (Not Boeckman) Fri, 30 Oct 2009 23:06:57 +0000 http://www.ourhonordefend.com/?p=1294#comment-3003 Yes you are the only one. The subtleties and techniques of line blocking aren't just line up and wack the guy across from you. Depending on the play called its a choreography. That doesn't just get pulled out of the air. On top of that, the Dline is moving around which maybe changes assignments within the same play. The teamwork needed to do this properly takes time to develop. Yes you are the only one.

We are just figuring this out? Shouldn't these protections be rehearsed and gameplanned? Shouldn't they being able to do this like breathing? It seems like we are re-inventing the wheel with the offensive line....isn't signals and snapcount the basics? I mean....we have to be laughed at by some of the other coaches and programs out there. Not to mention opposing team comments about readiness and preparation (or lack thereof) after recent meltdowns in key games. It leads me to believe that we are missing the fundamentals. Am I the only one who interprets it like this? Related to the article at the O-Zone about the line being cohesive…. We are just figuring this out?

Nothing good ever happens (ahem...loses Wisconsin and Northwestern after a bye at night two years in a row--Vico, we were both in school then, you remember this). The NFL needs them, 16 games is a lot. But in college? Come on, man up, it's 12 games. Actually, it seems like USC only plays 8 games a season, although I suspect it's 10 or 11.

But we've got Synchronized Swimming! Hah! ... and the rider in the image loses points for not having her right heel down! Nice horse, though. She's cranking it up for a spin. New Mexico State seems to be a university built around an Ag school. While ours is built around, ... well, a stadium!

I wonder who that quarterback was at Euclid HS and where is he now? Wall to wall coverage of concussion-like symptoms is only warrented if you're an SEC institution.
