When you asked me for a breakdown of our OT situation I was
pretty impressed that you wanted to have a serious football discussion. I spent
some good time breaking down what we had at those positions. I knew that you
would question some of it but I didn’t realize that it was just more bait for
you to completely bash anything that I had to say. You got me bro and I was
kicking myself for spending the time on that post. I did find it very strange
that you chose one small comment by me to focus your attack on even though it
was a flame post. Here is my one small comment to refresh your memory:
“Elliot is known to cross-train all of
his linemen and OGs can easily move over to OT and vice-versa. The best 5
will start regardless of position.”
It was very strange to me that this wasn’t common
practice for every team, even Clemson.
Since we’re back to flaming (or never left the flaming fun
like I thought we had) let me refresh your memory with a couple of comments
that you had to refute my post about Elliott’s coaching strategy.
On Caldwell: “You will see him preaching
and teaching fundamentals but you will never see him crosstraining.”
On Elliott: “A Master Crosstrainer is in fact
a crappy OL talent evaluator in disguise. We have had those at Clemson as well.”
As it turns out, Clemson still has “A Master
Crosstrainer” but I wonder if you will stand your ground about him being “a
crappy OL talent evaluator in disguise”.
As you will see bro, I’m not so bad at this
flame game myself lol. I then did a quick google search and found something
that I could bait you with as well and oh man did you ever take the bait.
Before we get to my very easy research let me rehash some of your comments on
this subject in your most recent post.
“Moving people on the offensive line is a
strong indicator you are having trouble.”
“Someone will not easily transition from a
guard to tackle position.”
“They don't have time to waste cross training
and it would absolutely be a waste of time if you have each position covered
first and foremost by evaluations when recruiting”
“Anything else is just covering for a bad
situation.”
Is there a chance that Clemson is having so much trouble with the OL that they have to resort to crosstraining players??? Stay tuned lol.
Now, what we’ve all been waiting for! Click

That
article was from July 13 2013 at Dabo’s media golf outing. A little more
research lead me to the fact that Caldwell, albeit wisely, has been
crosstraining his linemen since his first season at Clemson. This article is
from his first season:
http://www.tigernet.com/story/football/Caldwell-excited-challenges-Clemson-9763Let me first say that I had no clue when I made my first little comment about crosstraining what Caldwell’s take on it was. Come to find out it sounded like what I said came straight from his mouth lol.
You see bro, you were so quick to bash what South Carolina’s
OL coach was doing you didn’t even do the easy research to see that your coach
is doing the exact same thing. This is the kind of thing that makes me not take
you serious about anything that you have to say about South Carolina (as you
told me not to in the first place).
I hope when you go back and read my previous posts and see
that I was quoting what Caldwell was saying about crosstraining linemen instead
of what Elliott was saying you will get a good laugh. I know I did lol.
Oh how I love when a dookie bomb backfires lol. This one
takes the cake though.
