The o-line isn't having as good a year as I expected, considering how deep we are. We are much more effective at run-blocking than we are at pass-blocking. This is the same thing that happened in the Sugar Bowl. We got a zillion yards rushing but Vick got abused in by the FSU d-line.

Agree about Vick not stepping up forward into the pocket - his first instinct is to scramble. In our offense we have a lot of slow developing plays like the double screen, vertical patterns by the receivers, and delay runs. They're effective if they have time to develop, but not when the defense can get to the QB quickly. It's too bad that we don't do any 3-step drop and quick slants. Other teams will bring the blitz every time.

On the Point After, Vick said that it was so loud in the dome, the offensive linemen couldn't hear the snap count and the defensive linemen essentially had a head start. The play calling has always been a question mark since Bustle has been our offensive coordinator, but hey, we're averaging >40 points/game.
