Just looking at the rankings...

I hear yall I too am always with The Dawgs. But this D and O line is no different in the way they come out and play with no emotion. Not only are they not man enough but they are not Mean enough. Before WM our guys had that Swagger and attitude. If you did have a score against us you paid for it!!!! you just didnt go down the field hardly touched ,like the Keystone cops were after you. Yeah the season is not over But We have alot of work in the trenches to do. All ive been hearing all summer is how much better our O line is going to be. Please are you kidding me. They played with NO Emotion. they made the Cocks look like the New England Pats. And Lattimore Looked like O.J. running threw the LA airport unmolested by the police. Our Dawgs need a serious Attitude Adjustment, I would tell all of them that no ones position is safe from week to week its who goes out and really wants to play Big time Ball, not flag football. Yes we can still do somethings this yr but the BS needs to stop now. And someone needs to put some Gas on the Fire.

OSD: You are so correct in your assessment. Just one thing you have to consider, this O line has not played together all of pre-season. The center had a knee scoped and an other was out with mono. Yes I know they are all upper classmen, but a line must work together and know what the guy next to him is thinking and what he supposed to do. This takes time, working together. The D has the same problems, new system with no experience at a new position. I have no excuse for the D backs or the line backers. They need to learn to tackle and lock up with the ball carrier. I believe this team will get better as the season progress, at least I hope so. I can remember when a coach would call a player out and whip his butt in front of the whole squad. Can't do that any more. What a shame!!!!!!
As always, GO DAWGS!!!!!!!!!!!

DawgDoc, totally agree with your assessment except for the OL. These guys have collectively played in approx 139 games and finished the season last year together and finished strong.....together. They should already have a great "feel" for each other, what they are thinking and what they will do. For the life of me I don't understand why they start off EVERY year extremely slow and progress. We say the same thing every year.

A UF or a Bama don't seem to have a problem starting where they left off from last year with their OL's.
