Constantly got beat by any lineman with decent footwork, didn't have the strength to stop an SEC bullrush by his senior year, constantly had procedural penalties (what was that - his 10th career false start the other night?).

I'm sure he's a great guy, and I'm not saying all this to insult him. The truth is though, the OL situation--and LT in particular--is embarrassing and insulting to all Florida fans. Thankfully, this is being rectified in short order thanks to Coach Boom.

I've been saying this for a long time! Thanks for the post

I think the term blindside got invented by a QB who had Nixon "protecting" his blindside.
Funnily enough, the same QB also invented the phrase "severe concussion and broken ribs caused by unexpected collison and subsequent faceplant into unforgiving turf" the very next play.
