http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3JLTxvHtYI&feature=related Watch the play Lee to LaFell, Lyle Hitt #65...just man handled his defender. Opening the throwing lane. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_o5dNAEso4g Our OLine is 5 yards deep on all running plays, Black, Big Herm, Hitt, Barksdale...That's what excites me the most, watching these highlights.
Did you see Quinn Johnson in those clips he is a beast of a blocker, he blew up a linebacker in one of those plays, ridiculous.
Big Herm and Helms are the only seniors on the line... Here's to Ciron playing another year... T-Bob will be starting at C next year as well with Miller graduating.
Having heard these guys talk a bit in interviews and such, I wouldn't be surprised if they were also the core of the team from a leadership standpoint. Helms and Black and Johnson just seem like natural leaders to me. Love those guys.
It's exactly what our QB's need to get their confidence. It's why we won't have a down year this year. Our coaching staff puts a premium on line play, and it has been working for them for the past few years. Skill positions are useless without a line to assist them.
Big ups to Lyle Hitt, the forgotten man on the line. Watching the replay, this kid has improved greatly each of the past 2 seasons. He is legit.
