Offensive Line

[Harlan Huckleby]

speaking strictly on run blocking, this is what could happen

Colledge >> run blocker than Clifton
Barbre > run blocker than Colledge
Spitz >> run blocker than Wells
Sitton > run blocker than Spitz
Tausch = Tausch

This might all be right. (Especially the Tausch before and after eval)

Do not fall in love with Colledge at LT. .

ya, but why fall in love with Clifton? He is fading.

I was listening to a local radio show with a couple ex-badgers who played line in the NFL. They both thought that Colledge is going to be an excellent LT, better than at guard.

Too short and limited wingspan. He will always be at a disadvantage. Its possible LT is his best position and he will not be able to be successful there due to size.

I'll give you an offensive line:
“Great legs, what time do they open?”

Do not fall in love with Colledge at LT. Given Clifton's injury and less than stellar performance, he looked like an improvement for a while. But when the Falcons rushed four on the screen pass and Colledge had Abraham one on one, he didn't get a glove on him.

He also may have received help by way of formation. The Falcons move Abraham to the weak side I believe. On that play, the was next to Tauscher and Colledge got torched.

He did look like he was more able in the run game, but I don't think he is the long term answer there. Perhaps only to get Cliffy healthy.

While not being "in love" with college, I did notice he manhandled abraham the VERY FIRST running play we went at him when the switch was made. That being said he got beat a couple times too.

bottom line: Clifton has been sucking huge dick this season and he got benched today when MM couldn't take it any more. I like the move. I have no idea what the answers are going forward, but we haven't been run blocking or pass blocking worth a squirt of piss and when that happens you gotta hold guys accountable. Today that happened and I hope we can find some solid answers going forward or this season could get ugly fast.

Abraham when healthy is one of the best pass rushers in the league. He is outright dominate. He is a heck of a player, but he is consistently hurt.
