The John Pease Effect. A Must Read!

That\'s where it all starts. I said last year I thought it was time for Fotenot to be replaced. I think his play was sub-standard last year and now we\'ve got our best guys on the offensive line in Bentley and Montre Holland. Victor Riley is no scrub himself. Overall, our O-line is very solid, IMO.

Why do you feel that it is time for Fontenot to be replaced?

Riley is no scrub, that is true, but he has always been an underachiever, and I can\'t tell whether it\'s his strength or technique. Any help on this would be appreciated.

As I said last year. I saw a lot of pressure coming staight up the middle. Maybe it wasn\'t Fontenot\'s fault. But he didn\'t seem to be able to get a push on the defensive line. The guy wasn\'t the same player as he was in his younger days. As far as Fontenot goes, the guy was average at best. His strengths were getting everyone lined-up and his technique I suppose.

I think we\'re going to have a better offensive line this year with Bentley at center and Holland at guard. I THINK we are going to get a much better push in the middle of our O-line. Of couse, I could be wrong.

True, Riley has been known as an underachiever, but last year he supposedly re-commited himself and I think it showed.

And, you forgot to mention that Riley is now new, improved and Atkins friendly.
