Does no one pressure us up the middle of is Kelly that much of a beast? Is Cam having a sophomore slump?

Well, that's interesting. Thanks. So fair to say Tackles are the issues (relatively speaking) in our O line play? Not too encouraging with A&M's strength being pass rushing DEs.
It's discussed in another thread, but my guess is that Cam is less than 100% due to injury, maybe a decent amount less, but still better than the alternative. Oh, and 15 of those yards on Cam are total BS.
Wonder if there is a similar chart on Run Blocking. I may look around.

It does seem to under report given my recollection of the MTSU, Ole Miss and ARky games.
I wonder how hurries, hits and sacks are assigned given the combos in zone blocking schemes?
I'm not sure individual stats on OLs are all that useful anyway given how important it is for them to function as a single unit.
There's an article in the Latest Bama News thread that talks about Cam looking like he's playing through pain. FWIW, the article also mentioned that he didn't practice the week of the Arkansas game even though he played the whole game. Whatever it is, I sure hope he can work through it and get healthy-- the guy is a beast when he's at 100%.
I saw that earlier and don't believe it. The only hit attributed to Ryan Kelly would be the one Coker took on the INT against Ole Miss.

stats by blind people. sure, cam and Dominick are having some problems, and I believe the lack of tight end blocking support is a problem with this team. as far as Kelley getting a pass I can only believe what I watched in the miss and arks game. he was beat several times one on one, when coker dropped back to a medium or deep ball.
I only know this, our OL has not protected the QB this year like they should and agree the Kelly stat is way off. I am very hopeful and confident it's going to improve, but if not we've got trouble.
Run right at those guys. Only real way to slow down the rush with play action. Well, that and draws.
I know Kelly has been flagged at least 2 times this year, because I couldn't believe it either time. I think he had at lest 1 motion penalty against OM.
A draw? What's a "draw"? Don't think bama has run one of those in years! Would love to see fRan's one possitive play find it's way back into the playbook. That "sprint draw" was a killer.
Right. Didn`t say we would run a draw, just that it`s a staple for slowing down a DL that`s trying to blow into the backfield in obvious passing situations. Might be a nice wrinkle this weekend.
O-line has been a weak point since Christobal arrived. We are not good at run blocking which I thought would be our strength this year. Kelly has been abused by just about any NG he has played against this year. Our pass blocking is pretty good according to the stats, but the Qb's have been hurried on many of our attempts causing in some cases turnovers. We'll need our A-game this week to win. We need to run the ball consistently to control the clock. We've won 5 games, but our offense has not been consistent all year in dominating the line of scrimmage in the SEC.
We've certainly not been the same since the monsters we had in 2012. At first I thought it was due to recruiting as when Christobal came in he didn't have a lot to work with, and to some degree I think that is still the case. Even now we are starting a ton of year one and two players. That said, I'd have expected better results than we've had even with the younger guys in the game.
Those stats, aside from "snaps", look to me like they are from about the 2nd game of this season.
Not sure how accurate the hits/hurries is but if they are accurate Dom Jackson has done very well after the Midd Tenn game. He had all those hurries in that game. I did notice he played well on protection against Ark.
