After watching Ironton practice today, I realize they are NOT going to try anyone else at the center position so they will live and die by the bad snap/bad blocking combination. You can’t tell me there aren’t better options at center on the sidelines, even if it happens to be a freshman. Swallow the ego and find a center! Your QB deserves that much!

I might be mistaken but I thought the snaps vs CM was good? The fumbles came when the QB scrambled. Ironton was down a lineman vs CM due to injury and has played 4 different centers this year already. Gossett the D1 lineman was the center vs CM and he played center last year. Having played 4 centers already might be a QB issue not a center

When a 6’4” QB has to use his vertical to control most snaps, the problem is the center. The D1 lineman, as you’ve called him, was the center most of the game at Cabell and at practice Tuesday. Practice was as bad or worse than at Cabell. The D1 lineman has not played like a starting offensive lineman at Ironton thus far. The snaps are just the start of his problems and he is not the only one. They need to try some different linemen before Gallia and the playoffs. This line isn’t cutting it and judging by this post and others I’m not the only one who sees it.

I love my Tigers but the town and fanbase are TOXIC. Sounds like the a typical Ironton approach. Privately ignore the problems. Publicly insist there isnt a problem. Ride that wave til the problems costs you an L. Then make excuses.

And so it goes.

What’s the solution? I’ve stated before they have switched between 4 centers. I have 100% faith that coach Walt knows his best lineman. If a freshman is better than any senior or junior he would be playing. There is no favoritism being played by the coaching staff. Maybe show up to practice and ask the Oline coach what’s going on? But I guess it’s easier to get on here and complain. Just Like you said the fan base is TOXIC

Ironton had 48 Offensive snaps. I counted 2-3 snaps that was arguably bad (high or low) but the QB still was able to catch the ball cleanly. Go rewatch the film and watch the OLine gaurds, that’s the problem with the Oline.

I did notice the Ironton gaurds struggling vs Midland, but the LB crew for Midland was lights out with 3 college players, I doubt you see that talent anymore until deep in the playoffs
