Maybe you've figured it out by now, but I get frustrated with you because periodically you spout wild theories based on zero football logic.
Every linemen we had last year could've won every award there is to win. It wouldn't change the fact that we couldn't run the football versus quality fronts. When Sark was at Bama he ran Inside Zone? Why? Because you can run more stuff off of it like play action and RPOs. When he got here we tried to run it and the only reason it worked is because Bijan can get his own yards. However, it became pretty clear, especially once we got to the SEC, that we couldn't block worth a shit in the interior. So we changed to being Outside Zone based. Why? Because Outside Zone is the Tai Chi of running philosophies. You don't have to be strong to be good at it. You are just using the defender's momentum against him.
However, when you play a fast disciplined front, they beat your linemen to all their spots, and that's why we cannot run on Georgia, Ohio State, or even ASU. Oklahoma and Aggy have talent on their fronts but no discipline. They jump around in gaps and end up leaving alleys for a guy like Wisner to take advantage of.
I asked you why we couldn't run to see what your answer would be. I am surprised you didn't blame the quarterback.
My irritation with your comment comes because we literally just saw a couple weeks ago what Arch would look like behind a line that couldn't run the football and had a bunch of penalties, and still you claim Arch would've won those games last year when he was literally just facing the same situation two weeks ago and we scored 10 points. Here are the 3rd down yardages Quinn saw in the SEC Championship game. Also 11 penalties for 94 yards. 5 drops too.

Only 7 out of 18 times were we in a realistic down and distance. Arch wasn't winning with that. Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.
