Is the OL. Not QB, not RB, not DL.

If we can run the ball effectively and set up play action -- Gunner (or Pugs) will be just fine. The problem is that there is no evidence at this time that will happen.
  1. The Dawgs could not run the ball at all last year.
  2. Our pass blocking started off the year pretty well -- but once it was established we could not run block -- teams started pinning their ears back and bringing every blitz imaginable.
  3. Notre Dame killed us with the Wide-9 rush last year. Freeling could not handle it. He was absolutely stumped.
  4. We will see it all year until we learn to stop it.
  5. SS can be blamed (of course) but we had an experienced line last year. The communication between the lineman was piss poor and -- at times -- so was the effort.
I am hoping to be pleasantly surprised with the 2025 unit, but I will be skeptical until I see it.
