So basically....

Everyone in the nation overrated Clowney? I mean he was the number one player in the nation and the number one player the last ten years via Rivals. How many 6'7, 265 lb athletes do you know that run a sub 4.5 40? As for the whole "we will let you start thing", i dont buy into it. Here are my reason...1) will cause problems with team chemistry. (2) We have two of the best defensive ends in the conference returning as i stated in the previous post. (3) just because Clemson does it, doesnt mean everyone else in the nation does, ala Jaime Harper. So give me relevence and i'll debate, but nonsense is just that, nonsense. As for the o-line, i do think there is a siginificant drop off after the 1st team. Injuries are something that we can ill afford along the o-line. The offensive woes last year after Latt got hurt, i attribute to Garcia(which is why hes inconsistent) because he became too dependent on Latt and once he went out, he forced throws and tried to make plays, even if they werent there. All he had to do was manage the game. I'll give one example of this and i'm leaving it at that. In the chic-fil-a bowl last year, fla state pinned carolina down around the 10. We ran the ball about 7 or 8 straight plays and was out to almost midfield. Couldnt do that with a poor o-line, but at this point we decide to go play action and Garcia underthrows Jeffery by about 10 yards and its picked off. So do i think the o-line is great, no. Do i think it is more than serviceable, definitely. Its not a glaring weakness as in past years. Our biggest concern is at safety. Thats what scares me.
