If we were assign percentages to reasons the run game has struggled, I'd put a larger percentage on the oline than swapping WR positions.
Fair point, but having WRs who are effective blockers use to be a hallmark of App State.
True, but does it matter if there are no holes for the running back to get to the second level.

Clark said the he was unstoppable in practice after the move. Perhaps , that is more a reflection of our defense.

I chuckled. Who doesn’t look unstoppable against our D?

2s stats
2023 ...67 catches for 905 yards..14 games
2024 ...39 catches for 565...on track to surpass 2023 in only 11 games.

The negative stat between years is 10 TD 2023 to 0 TDs in 2024...

On track

But there is more to a receivers job than catching passes.

I’d put slot WR play as my 20th concern with this team, I just don’t get it.

Probably why Houston was fired.

I was more concerned about the attitude than the position and the little things that make a "team" a team. Blocking down field, running exact routes, special teams blocking when you don't catch the return ball.

I believe it used to be a hard rule with our offense for receivers- no block no play!

Clark has commonly said "OL blocks for first downs, WRs block for touchdowns" over his tenure.

I found the shaking his head play spacemonkey mentioned. Under 9 minutes left in the Louisiana game.

Now it should be no block no pay.

I’ve been told I don’t understand these complicated concepts by a few individuals for years. Strangely those folks have been absent for a few weeks though.
