If Piersbacher was anchoring that left side? Watched a replay of the BCS title game the other night, guy is a monster.
How great could this O line be

What ifs are a waste of time. Go the other way, what if Wadley, Jewel and Wesh went elsewhere? What if our entire oline sucked? How good would we be?

Our pass protection wasn't much to write home about last year. If it hasn't greatly improved the Stanley is going to see the sky a lot while he is laying on his back. If they give Stanley time to scan the field for open receivers then I think this team is really going to surprise the football nation.
Yeah... Iowa and lots of schools are full of what ifs? What if Greene came back another year? People forget he had a year left. Here's one for ya. What if Chris Leak came to Iowa instead of Drew Tate? Leak was down to Fl and Iowa.. So there's always that. I'm sure the next one will be what about Oliver Martin as his career gets started... I'll focus on Brandon Smith and that Smith-Marsette kid I think those two in time won't make us miss him a bit.
Play action play action play action... It'll be his and this teams best friend. It'll make everything so much easier. Having an Oline like the Patriots which allows Brady all day to decide what he wants to do would be great too don't get me wrong. But if your Oline struggles at providing a pocket then use roll outs and playaction a lot. With our running game teams will bite on it giving TEs just that extra step to get open which is all it takes.

I agree and it won't hurt if we see a flea flicker or two.
True but flea flickers aren't going to be a staple those will be as you said a once or twice a season thing... Not necessarily a difference making deal.

I would do more than one a game, throw in a Statue of Liberty, double reverse, halfback pass, etc. That's what keeps defenses guessing, off balance, and nervous. When you only run twenty plays it's not hard to defense it.
It's also fun for the fans as it's entertaining. The Greg Davis offenses have been anything but entertaining. Torture to watch would be more descriptive.
I get what your saying. I wish they'd run more creative stuff too more often. I just know that if you think they'll run more then one or two 'trick' kind of plays a game your asking a lot... But that said BF is a bit of an unknown so we'll see what's up his sleeve and if maybe he'll hold anything back for the PSU game...

Guy wanted to play guard, but we are already stacked at guard. Didn't need him, didn't want him. Anyway, Bama and Pierschbacher got totally embarrassed on a national TV against Clempson, so I hope he likes the taste of defeat.
Don't kid yourself we'd have taken him in a heart beat and still would. Our whole line was embarrassed by Florida too... I get what your doing but being over the top about it doesn't fool anyone.

He was never a Hawk. Never will be a Hawk! Hope he has a nice NFL career so he has money that he can travel to Alabama to watch his "team." These colors dont run! Go Hawks!
