We haven't done a practice update piece in a while, so I figured with 12 days until the battle with the scUMbags from Miami, we should update. Now, we don't watch practice, so all of our information is second hand, and no, we won't reveal all of our sources.

Make sure to check our FrankDNole's excellent series on the Miam-FSU rivalry.

Reading the Andrew Carter and Steve Ellis stories, and talking with others, it seems the coaches went out of their way to call out the offense after yesterday's practice. I'm not buying it. The offense has routinely worked the defense, both in practice, situational, and scrimmage settings. Let's take a look at what they told Carter:

-On offense, lining properly is still a concern for the coaching staff. There have apparently been a number of issues with personnel being in the right spots at the right time. A little disconcerting, given the start of the season is less than two weeks away. Andrew Carter- Orlando Sentinel

And Ellis' article talks about the offense not lining up correctly. FSU can't practice more than the NCAA mandate, but they damn sure can tell their kids to study their film and playbooks more. There's also some give and take here. You can't have all positive press or all negative press. Coaches are master motivators (or they try to be) and when you have one unit that is more talented, better coached, and just all around better, you have to find a way to keep them motivated. If it's not showing them how a defense beat them in practice (which isn't happening often), it's through use of the media. On the same token, coaches know what the defense is doing, but they are smart to alternate positive and negative press.

I have no concerns about lining up correctly. FSU is pretty much done with serious contact in practice and they have plenty of time to work on the finer points of alignment. This is something you know if you played football. In fact, I find it encouraging that the coaches are harping on alignment for the offense. It tells me there aren't serious other concerns. Sure, each unit has some question marks, but they aren't glaring. On the other hand, espousing concerns about the defense to the media might not do much to help them. They see in the film room how the offense is routinely ripping off 25yard+ plays.

But Fisher knows this offense has a lot of potential and once they reach a certain plateau, he has to point out the new goal and push them toward that new height. Part of that is mastering the expanded playbook, but a lof of this are these young players not realizing how good they can really be.

-Talked with offensive line coach Rick Trickett briefly after practice and he said the right side of his line is still undecided. There are some good position battles going on there for first-team spots. Zebrie Sanders is likely to win the job at right tackle, but he is getting challenged by Rhonne Sanderson. At right guard, Brandon Davis is challenging incumbent David Spurlock, Trickett said. Andrew Carter- Orlando Sentinel

Ditto Trickett. This David Spurlock v. Brandon Davis battle is real. Davis made good progress over the summer. When I first heard about that, I dismissed it, but Spurlock did have his arm surgery and Davis probably passed him for a time this summer. While I do think Spurlock has the higher ceiling, this is about who starts for the Miami game and for that game, ceiling be damned. Play the best current player (the same applies to the Greg Reid debate). I believe this Andrew Datko stuff to be just a motivational ploy. Rhonne Sanderson has a chance to be a good college player, but unless Datko has an injury I am not aware of, Datko will start at Left Tackle.

I wanted to comment on another excellent Andrew Carter article. Read it. We've been pretty steadfast in our contention that last year's passing game problems were mostly on the offensive line's inability to pass protect, and not Christian Ponder. While some will argue that it's easier to throw in a non-contact jersey in practice, I'll argue the opposite- if the QB is at all touched, the play is dead. How often is a QB brushed in the pocket in a real game before making a great play by stepping up and firing? Particularly a mobile QB like ponder. As AC says, the pass protection has improved, Ponder has time to throw, and the offense is making big big plays. Our 1st team passing game numbers have been insane, something along the lines of 70% completions, almost 18 yards per completion, and a near perfect QB rating, with no interceptions.

And Carter rightfully hypes the wide receivers, because they have had a lot of poor press over the past year. The most encouraging thing for me is the emergence (re-emergence?) of slot wideout (the Y) Rod Owens, who now gives another option than Taiwan Easterling, and Senior Richard Goodman, who has big play potential and has the demeanor of a grown man.

As for the defense, it is more talented this year than last, but I still have my concerns. They were destroyed in the 1st scrimmage, and in the 2nd scrimmage, the headlines read that they improved, but my take on them is that they did well on the goal line (4 plays out of 60), and they crowded the box to stop the run game, which they did, but they gave up 3 or 4 scoring strikes of 35+ yards! Stopping the run is obviously essential, and FSU's offense should again be the best in the ACC so their competition is pretty good here, but overall I think the secondary will take an inordinate amount of blame for some failures that are a result of being put in a poor situation. What situation? The defensive line and linebackers can't stop the run without significant help from the safeties, and when safeties are playing run only, the cornerbacks are hung out to dry. Failure by cornerbacks in this situation against modern passing games should be expected, unless the offense is vastly inferior to the defense. But there is some encouraging news here as well, as the defensive tackle play is better this year than last, some crucial defensive backs are now back from injury, and most teams don't have a run game like FSU. I'm just saying to temper your enthusiasm and read the reports for what they say and what they don't say. I don't buy that the defense played well because they had a few tackles for loss as a result of blitzing their head off and a few sacks (which could be touching the QB with one hand due to the non-contact jersey), when then a few paragraphs later that the offense averaged 10 yards per play and the defense had zero interceptions. Temper the enthusiasm on the defense, but also realize that Mickey's defense is built to play with a lead! That's a flawed design, but our offense just might be good enough to give the defense a big lead in a few games this year.

With summer camp drawing to an end, it's been a great off-season. Only one off-season arrest, on a bogus charge which was later dropped. Only two injuries to key players (DT and possible starter Justin Mincey who will miss at least a month, and backup RT Antwane Greenlee whose knee injury information is yet to be released). Player participation and attendance in voluntary activities is at an all-time high (so I'm told, I am not there to mark who is showing up).

At this point, I feel great going into the Miami game. People overrated FSU last year entering the season, but they might be underrating the 'Noles this year. Miami is going to be without DE Adequle Ojomo. They will have DE Eric Moncur, but he hasn't practiced in almost two weeks and could be rusty coming off this complex groin injury.

Other opponent news: NC State lost their #2 Tight End Mario Carter. Big deal? Think again, they were going to use him a lot and this definitely helps FSU.

Progression, Continuation, or Regression? Noles Offensive Line

FrankDNole — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 21:58:02 -0000

Everyone can breathe a big sigh of relief now. This is the last part of this series, and I will soon be out of your hair forever. However, I will follow this up with a short recap with the final #'s for each unit, so that you all can share a good laugh over your projections come January.

So far we have analyzed, discussed, and you have voted on whether the Defensive Line, the Receivers/Tight End, the Secondary, the Offensive Backfield, the Linebackers, and the Special Teams, will be better, the same, or worse than last years equivalent unit. Today we will take a look at the Offensive Line, to determine if this unit has progressed, expected to continue at the same level, or regressed, in comparison to last years O-Line.

THE OFFENSIVE LINE

Trench warfare isn't pretty, but it often decides which team wins on Saturday's because a stout line protects it's quarterback, and opens up running lanes for the tailbacks.

You will hear many coaches say that if you win the battle in the trenches (both offensive and defensive), you will win on the scoreboard, and more specifically, if you want an indication of how well a team is going to do, watch how the offensive line performs. The Noles lost plenty of those trench battles last season, especially in the passing game.

With that said, the offensive line is the unit that takes the longest to get used to playing with each other. Think about it: It is the only unit where a player is shoulder to shoulder with another player, and a lot of a player's success depends on what and how the player next to him is doing. A team that can keep their offensive line together and keep them healthy over the course of a season, is the team that is going to have the most success. Usually, these are the teams that turn out better than people expected at the start of the season. Sound familiar? It should, and this is a reason to be cautiously optimistic about this teams potential this year.

On the other hand, when you see a team having trouble staying healthy on the offensive line, those are usually the teams that are going to have some problems. As players get hurt and have to sit out games, the chemistry, communication, instincts, and the skills of their replacements aren't familiar to the rest of the line, and usually results in less likelyhood of running and passing the ball effectively.

if you are a regular TN reader, you are probably familiar with this topic from such recent stories as Will the Florida State Offensive Line Pass Protect in 2009? and, Understanding Zone Blocking and Florida State's Offensive Line, and, Florida State Seminoles Left Tackle Andrew Datko to face an NFL schedule.

The Noles 2009 offensive line, while the youngest line in the FBS in 2008, could be one of the best in the country in 2009. For the first time since 2004, the Seminoles will return all five starters on the offensive line from the previous season. That year the Seminoles averaged 162 yards per game on the ground. Three of the five projected starters on the line were named a freshman All-American (Andrew Datko, Rodney Hudson and Ryan McMahon). Despite starting three true freshmen, the Seminoles had their best year running the football since 2000 as far as NCAA rankings go. Rodney Hudson enters on the watch list for the 2009 Lombardi Award. He is one of only two ACC players on the watch list.

One of the major areas of concern for Rick Trickett's unit this year will be to improve in the pass blocking where last years unit gave up 26 sacks for 187 yards.

2008 LEFT TACKLE=Zebrie Sanders started the first game before being replaced by Andrew Datko who then started the remaining 12 games.

2009 PROJECTED LEFT TACKLE=Andrew Datko followed by Rhonne Sanderson and Garrett Faircloth.

2008 LEFT GUARD=Rodney Hudson started every game.

2009 PROJECTED LEFT GUARD=Rodney Hudson followed by Rhonne Sanderson and Blake Snider.

2008 CENTER=Ryan McMahon started every game.

2009 PROJECTED CENTER=Ryan McMahon followed by A.J. Ganguzza.

2008 RIGHT GUARD=David Spurlock started the first game before being replaced by Will Furlong who then started the next 5 games, then Spurlock reclaimed the job finishing the season.

2009 PROJECTED RIGHT GUARD=David Spurlock (assuming his shoulder injury is OK) followed by Brandon Davis and Will Furlong.

2008 RIGHT TACKLE=Antwane Greenlee started the first 3 games, then was replaced by Zebrie Sanders who then started every remaining game.

2009 PROJECTED RIGHT TACKLE=Zebrie Sanders followed by Antwane Greenlee.

OTHERS ON THE ROSTER WHO MAY CONTRIBUTE=Jacob Stanley and in the incoming class John Prior, Bryan Stork, and Henry Orelus. Aubrey Phillips is no longer on the team and Evan Bellamy is out for the season with blood clot issues.

While this is the depth chart we expected prior to the start of practice, on the second day of practice Trickett decided to shake things up a little on the right side of the line.

RG David Spurlock and RT Zebrie Sanders started the majority of last season, but Brandon Davis and Antwane Greenlee have moved onto the first team at those two positions, respectively. Trickett made the changes, he said after practice on Saturday, because Davis and Greenlee earned the promotions during spring practice.

"I thought at the end of spring practice I thought they out-worked the other guys," Trickett said. "Now, summer work [has] all been pretty much the same. But I usually start them out where they ended up spring practice. I don’t judge anything on the weight room and stuff like that."

Spurlock and Sanders, of course, are now working to earn their positions back.

"I thought Zebrie’s had two real good days, he’s shown that he wants to get it back and Brandon, he’s fighting to keep it," Trickett said. "And you can tell Spurlock’s got a little rust on him."

More recently, it appears that these 2 position battles will come down to the following.

The position: Right guard
The battle: David Spurlock vs. Brandon Davis
The skinny: Spurlock, a sophomore, is the incumbent and he started eight games here a season ago. But Davis, a redshirt junior, moved ahead of Spurlock during the spring and has remained on the first string. Offensive line coach Rick Trickett admits he tried to run Davis off but Davis wouldn’t let him. Trickett says Spurlock is rusty but that he’s at his best when motivated, which he should be given his demotion.

The position: Right tackle
The battle: Zebrie Sanders vs. Antwane Greenlee
The skinny: Like Spurlock, Sanders is a sophomore who started at his position the majority of last season. But in similar fashion, he lost his spot to Greenlee in the spring. Greenlee started the first three games a season ago, and he has impressed Trickett with his tenacity. Trickett said he was impressed by Sanders’ efforts early on in preseason practice. This position might not be decided until kick off of the Miami game.

Regardless of how these two position battles shake out once the pads are on and the hitting starts,

Florida State Seminoles Spring Football Preview: Offensive Line

FSUncensored — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 09:15:20 -0000

This is the fourth in a series. Wide Receivers (Unofficial), Quarterbacks, and the Backfield.

By almost any measure, FSU had one of the worst offensive lines in major college football from 2004-2007, relative to their supposed talent level. Enter highly regarded offensive line coach Rick Trickett in early 2007. Trickett has now restocked the offensive line with quality depth and despite the predictions of some experts that they would be the worst offensive line in the ACC in 2008, the group exceeded expectations.

I do not buy into the idea that this group was "very good" or "great" in 2008. They were simply above average. Considering that the starting five was the youngest in America, that's pretty impressive. Consider also that they were one of the smallest in major college football. Still, I saw this line get manhandled during the Wake Forest, Georgia Tech, Virginia Tech, Boston College, and Florida games, four of which ended in losses.

Perhaps the best thing that Jimbo Fisher did in 2008 was protect his young offensive line. Huh? How do you protect an offensive line? Those bubble screens weren't really a way of offense, but a way to make sure that the defense played us honestly. That is, they could not commit extra men to stop the running game for fear of getting outflanked by a bubble screen to the speedy Bert Reed (NCST Game), or if they did attempt to load the box while accounting for the bubble, to face a one-on-one jump situation downfield against Greg Carr or Corey Surrency. Jimbo's bubbletology, along with running Ponder and thus using the guy he would have handed the ball off to as a blocker, gave the offensive line the edge they needed to do a passable job.

Unfortunately, when teams could stop the run without loading the box, they could account for both the bubble game and the downfield stuff, as Wake, BC, and UF did. Worse yet, those teams were also able to generate an, often allowing an unacceptable amount of pressure from a simple four man pass rush (not a blitz). ...pass protections usually start out with the understanding that if the defense rushes five guys, you can pick them up, but your blockers will have to be able to block at least one defender (more likely 2) one-on-one. No pass protection scheme can count on double teaming all possible rushers. If you can’t handle anyone man-for-man, then a five man rush effectively becomes like a seven or eight man blitz, but also with sound coverage behind it. _Smartfootball.blogspot

This year, we will not be able to protect the offensive line. Instead, the offensive line must become the protector for the rest of the offense.

Let's discuss the questions facing the line as they head into spring.

FSU returns their entire two-deep from 2008. The only loss is offensive tackle Joe Tonga, who played sparingly and is not considered an important loss.

If this group is going to achieve what Jimbo Fisher calls "dominant status", they need to get stronger. I have reason to believe that will happen. Remember that most of these guys can't even buy a beer. They should continue to mature.

For the Spring, I am interested in

seeing whether Left Tackle Andrew Datko has put on weight. Already an excellent technician, Datko must gain strength to be able to withstand the bull rush. Last year, he was much too short in his drop step, because he feared the bull rush from the stronger player. This left him open to getting burnt on the edge rush, even though he was fairly quick. If he gains some more mass, he can retain his quickness and take a deeper setup, while still guarding against the bull rush/ inside move.
how Center Ryan McMahon looks after a very average 2008 season. We learned that he had a foot injury, suffered early in the Virginia Tech game. Long time readers will remember that we ripped his play in that game and he didn't really ever recover, having a poor bowl game as well.
Who will play right tackle? Both Zebrie Sanders and Antwane Greenlee have a lot of talent. Both played at times last year. If they maintain their current path, I'd expect Sanders to start. If Greenlee can return to the promise he showed coming out of high school (before he had his spinal injury), then he could be the guy.
Will Rodney Hudson make the jump from being avery good college player to a serious NFL prospect? That is, will he gain the strength and retain his quickness, allowing him to dominate the opposition?
Will Rodney Hudson get any work at center? McMahon's peak is probably as an above average college player. If Hudson at Center allows us to get our five best offensive linemen on the field at once, then we need to do that even if it means relegating McMahon to the veteran leader on the bench.
Since David Spurlock is out for spring with a minor shoulder procedure, his backup will get the reps. That raises the question: Will Furlong... how big is he? I've heard he is tiny. Some have speculated that he has some sort of blood problem that prevents him from gaining weight and keeping it on. We cannot afford to play a 275lb guard. I'm no Hematologist, but if he does have this problem, it needs to be addressed. If it cannot be corrected, he needs to be medically disqualified (NCAA rule that allows player to keep his scholarship even though he doesn't count against the scholarship limits). To be quite blunt, FSU has no use for a 275lb Junior at the Guard position.

I'm sorry that this isn't that in-depth. College football is a game dominated by skill position players (as opposed to the NFL, which is definitely a scheme and blocking league). That's not to say, however, that the offensive line doesn't matter. It's still extremely important.

I expect the offensive line to be a strength this year. If I'm wrong, we'll again see teams re-establish the line of scrimmage three or four yards behind the original line, as BC did in this picture.

I think the Spring will go a long way to showing what this line will be (minus Furlong, obviously). The defensive line should be really poor this spring, and the offensive line should dominate them on a daily basis. If they do not, be prepared for a long year.

Inside the Seminole Film Room: FSU 41, Clemson 27 Part 2 & Daily update

FSUncensored — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 23:50:35 -0000

My post was so long that this space couldn't handle it (that's what she said). Seriously though, I guess there are formatting limits.

The first part is here.

Get your questions in for the BC Expert.

Clemson's 8th Drive

Dwn	Yard	Situation	Label	Formation	Play Description	Success?
					Gano, G kickoff 69 yards to the CU1, Ford, J return 21 yards to the CU22 (Owens, R).
Gano mis-hit this, I think.
1-10	at Cu22				CLEMSON drive start at 01:19.
1-10	at Cu22				Harper, C sacked for loss of 7 yards to the CU15 (White, M.,), fumble by Harper, C recovered by CU Harper, C at CU15.	NO
Great to see Markus White coming on strong. If he comes on like a mad man, that'll soften the blow of Losing Everette. He literally outquicked the RB who was assigned to him. Note to CU: singleblocking our DE's with RB's is a poor idea.
2-17	at Cu15				Timeout Florida State, clock 01:01.
I love this coaching staff. We had all 3 timeouts left. Would that happen in 2006? No way.						NO
2-17	at Cu15	PD			Harper, C sacked for loss of 3 yards to the CU12 (Brown, E).
This was Brown's best sack of the day. Doubleteam? No problem! Spin it big man. Can I mancrush on EB? Yes I can.
3-20	at Cu12				Timeout Florida State, clock 00:55.
I love this coaching staff. We had all 3 timeouts left. Would that happen in 2006? No way.
3-20	at Cu12	PD			Spiller, C rush over right guard for 3 yards to the CU15 (Watson, D).	NO
This was a straight run and Watson (who played great) is just too quick. Well done guys.
4-17	at Cu15				Timeout Florida State, clock 00:48.
I love this coaching staff. We had all 3 timeouts left. Would that happen in 2006? No way.
4-17	at Cu15				Maners, J punt 45 yards to the FS40, Parker, P return 3 yards to the FS43 (Maxwell, B), PENALTY CU illegal formation declined, PENALTY FS illegal block (Lawson, R) 10 yards to the FS33, 1st and 10, FS ball on FS33.
					Drive: 3 plays, minus 7 yards, TOP 00:41
Look at CU's last 2 drives. This was disgustingly good defense. 6 successes, no fails. 3 sacks and 2 incompletes are you kidding me? Wow.

FSU's 6th Drive

Dwn	Yard	Situation	Label	Formation	Play Description	Success?
					FLORIDA STATE drive start at 00:38.
Unfair here. The refs screwed FSU several times in this game but that was ridiculous. No way Jimbo wanted this.
1-10	at Fs33			4WR GUN	Thomas, J. rush left for 12 yards to the FS45, 1ST DOWN FS (Chambers, S).	YES
Zone left, Great blocking by Datko and Carr.
1-10	at Fs45			4WR GUN	Ponder, C deep pass incomplete to Easterling, T (Clemons, C).	NO
Quickly to the line, we look well coached. I like how we didn't spike the ball. Remind me to link an article here on the fallacy of the spike. Someone ran the wrong route, however, as Parker and Easterling were in the same spot.
2-10	at Fs45			4WR GUN	Ponder, C deep pass incomplete to Surrency, C. (Chancellor, C), PENALTY CU offside defense (Sapp, R) 5 yards to the 50 yardline, NO PLAY.
The DB played this well, maybe Ponder could have thrown it a bit shorter. Surrency got high but maybe mistimed his jump a tad.
2-5	at Fs50	NPD		4WR GUN	Ponder, C sideline pass complete to Parker, P for 6 yards to the CU44, 1ST DOWN FS, out-of-bounds (Butler, C;Conner, K).	YES
I CAN'T GET OVER HOW SMOOTH AND WELL COACHED WE LOOK. Quick pace w/o desperation. Quick out past the marker. Play took only 4 seconds.
1-10	at Cu44				Ponder, C sideline pass complete to Parker, P for 3 yards to the CU41 (Maxwell, B).	NO
I'm not sure what he was doing here. Carr doesn't sell his route at all and his defender comes off him. Maybe Ponder expected Carr to run his route hard and for Parker to turn this upfield? In either case, if the refs don't screw us, we're at the 31 and Gano is kicking a FG after a jumpball attempt. The throw on this play was an out.
2-7	at Cu41	NPD			End of half, clock 00:00.
Dumb refs.
					Drive: 4 plays, 26 yards, TOP 00:38
					Florida State 20, Clemson 17
Not a horrible half, all-told.

The 2nd half will be up later.

Injury Note: I heard that everyone was AT practice today. No word on whether they actually did participated. I'd say a lack of major injuries and favorable attrition rates are the number one reason the Noles have improved this season. Many don't think about this, but it is relevant.

Brent Musgamlerberger and Kirk "No Erin I'm married" Herbstriet have the call for the Noles game. No coverage map yet, but unless you're in Oklahoma or Colorado, you should get our contest.

Rodney Hudson (3rd time), Graham Gano (2nd time), and Neefy Moffett were named ACC players of the week.

We really need to make a push for some All American status and post season Awards. I watch a lot of football and Gano, Hudson, and Everette Brown all merit All American consideration. Rick Trickett needs to win the assistant coach of the year award (or the position coach of the year).

If Antwane Greenlee (Left Tackle) is back and ready to resume his pursuit of playing to the potential he had coming in... we could have a dominant offensive line next year. This is no slap on Zebrie, but everyone agreed that Greenlee was an amazing talent before his neck injury.

Practice Report from FSU Sports Information: Most of practice was spent with both the offense and defense working versus scout teams.

· 1-on-1 began at midfield and the only break-up was turned in by Michael Ray Garvin. E.J. Manuel connected on passes to Cameron Wade, Bert Reed, Taiwan Easterling and Preston Parker. D'Vontrey Richardson also hooked up with Parker and Rod Owens.

· When 1-on-1 moved inside the 20 Garvin and Dionte Allen broke up potential TD passes. Drew Weatherford found Reed, Jarmon Fortson, Corey Surrency and Louis Givens. The biggest play of the drill was turned in by Parker who pulled in a one-handed grab from Manuel in the back corner of the endzone where he managed to get one foot in bounds.

· In pass rush Moses McCray was the big winner with four sacks. Everette Brown, Markus White, Kendrick Stewart and Neefy Moffett got to the QB twice and Justin Mincey got into the backfield as well. Rodney Hudson and Ryan McMahon were the only multiple winners for the offense. Antwane Greenlee, Joe Tonga, A.J. Ganguzza and Brandon Davis also had wins.

· In skeleton, Christian Ponder found Surrency once and then had two completions to Greg Carr, Easterling and Parker. One of the completions to Parker was on a deep ball. Weatherford hit Surrency, Ja'Baris Little, Wade and Givens once each. He also hit Rod Owens twice and one completion featured a great run after the catch. Tony Carter and Patrick Robinson broke up passes.

· Pass break-ups were the bi story in 11-on-11. Patrick Robinson had two, Jamie Robinson and Korey Mangum each had one as well. Neefy Moffett had a sack and a QB pressure. There were only two highlights for the offense and one was a completion from Ponder to Surrency and the other was Weatherford going to Owens.
