futaba	position where we'll have problems............		Lead	[-]
Posts: 1974 08/20/08 08:48 AM	Tags : None is TE. I watched the Auburn replay on State's TV station last night. Sherrod and Butler played like extra pulling guards and we're going to miss that in a big way. Green may prove to be a threat with the ball but I have to wonder whether either he or Hurst can block like Sherrod. Brandon Henderson seems to have disappeared. And what happened to Jeremy Jones. I must have missed that he quit the team.

Posts: 3721 08/20/08 09:05 AM	....was one of those buddy scholarships that Croom hands out like candy. He knows his daddy, so the kid got a scholarship when no one else even looked at him. "Tuberville has had one stellar season in his career and suddenly he talks like he is Knute Rockne, Bear Bryant and Bob Neyland all wrapped into one." - Paul Finebaum, November 1, 2005 "How is our program in shambles? We had the talent to be in a bowl game, or at least compete for it this year. The reason we didn't was coaching. If we make a halfway decent hire, we should be bowling in that guy's first year." - Ole Miss Sheep Rebel Bruiser, on the day they fired O (HDN was later confirmed to be more than a halfway decent hire)

Posts: 1975 08/20/08 09:21 AM	that Croom knowing Henderson's father played a role in giving the kid a scholarship. He also knew Jonathan Lowe's daddy, but you could make the argument that Lowe was worth it. Is there anybody else?

Posts: 399 08/20/08 09:49 AM	which may be a good thing, because Hurst's little brother is a beast of an OL, getting offers from ND and others - see article on BDJ. Run blocking is, without a doubt, my biggest concern on this team. I think we will find some good DE's. I think our pass blocking will be sufficient. Our WR's will be no worse than last year. But, run-blocking is a concern. I hope that Brignone makes a difference here, because I think he will be more of a road-grader than Anderson was. Sherrod will be fine. Strauder is overrated (especially in the run game) and I really dont know Gates' strengths, but I sincerely doubt that it is pulling. Losing Butler and Dez. Sherrod will be hurt our blocking big time. Kind of makes me wish that we had Addison Lawrence at TE - it is not like the other teams are going to be gameplanning against the receiving threats of Henderson/Green/Hurst anyway. Might as well put a Reggie Kelly type in there and run 6 OL's.

Posts: 400 08/20/08 10:01 AM	That is exactly who I was thinking of, even as I typed Reggie Kelly. Oh well - Reggie was a hell of a blocker too - but this is what you call a run-blocker...

Posts: 3086 08/20/08 06:10 PM	....is that even if they could catch the ball, we'd never get the ball to our TEs. It's a tradition. As for lack of run blocking, that would be a problem.

Posts: 401 08/20/08 07:49 PM	"We got Addison Lawrence playing some tackle and he is also out tight end in our short-yardage package. Then we put him in there today at guard and he is smart enough to do that. Having a swing guy like that gives us some depth."
