Random OL Thoughts from TJW/Player Presser.

College kids have only so long each week to practice because of NCAA rules.

The zone blocking scheme is not rocket science, but it takes a lot of time to learn, and involves repetition to get comfortable with all the different calls, and options on each play. College time restrictions make it a difficult (not impossible, but difficult) scheme to install and learn properly.

Also, GDL sucks as a teacher

I do think our OL lacks talent and depth; if Foley can make the unit semi respectable - hats off to him I always liked Coach Foley.

Zone blocking is not exotic - other college teams run it very well. That said, the methods utilized to teach it may have been exotic.

I probably should have said teaching a system we did not have the man power for. Teaching it like a stubborn tyrant just made it worse.

If by "exotic" you mean "horribly antiquated..."...
