Bodine, along with the rest of the OL, typically look good and effective against even fronts, where the Center is uncovered and the other four are head up on a man. Where Bodine is a complete failure, and the rest of the OL struggles mightily, is against the odd front. Bodine simply cannot physically match up with a NT, and the Guards always seem to be confused as to what their assignments are.
This was the case, even in years where the OL was considered to be really good. The common factor? Paul Alexander. They need to bring in an aggressive fundamentalist to coach the OL.
Sunset, you nailed it brother.
This is just another excuse for PA's failures. He picked Bodine, he is HIS guy and he doesn't even fit HIS scheme.
Truly pathetic. To not coach up his players to understand how to face odd fronts when we play two teams in our Division who
line up this way all the time is just crazy to me. Unprepared and then they get thrown into the fire, hard to blame some of these
guys considering who their coach is honestly.
