I'm thinking it's a combination of both.

Well yeah. They t'd off on Eflin and Paradis who were trying to help each other and failing miserably. It was bad all around.

I would argue it makes you look worse when the guy next to you is getting curb stomped on every play. Your opponents start focusing on your side and well, you see the results.

I don't know that is that they are sold on him as mush as they think his experience is bit more of an advantage than pure physical talent for them at the moment.

I have a good feeling about the rookies. I think you will see a noticeable difference when they finally get to start. The left side is still a mystery however. But I'm like everyone else in that I am totally mystified as to why Moton is not on the left and Christensen is not on the right at tackles. The left guard and center positions are a mess right now.

Bingo! We have a ways to go in that department.

If he could just be average the rest of the season Darnold might have a fighting chance. But I still see the same issues on offense. The run game will be an issue I fear. They did manage to run against the second team with our backups but it didn't look good. Time will tell I suppose.

Does it matter? We will probably struggle even with Darnold so if he goes down well, top 5 pick here we come.

This I can agree with. You might as well throw that rookie long snapper out there if you are down to trying Erving. Even considering Eflien who supposedly played center is a downgrade.

I think us fans see what we want to see. It's more hope than reality. The number one rule in watching sports is never buy into what a journalist is selling. Most of the time it's just fluff pieces to make a paycheck.

Premature evaluation problem? I think there is medicine for that.

That is why you don't listen to fan enthusiasm on the signing of a player. I'm guilty of it myself sometimes. Paradis was always overrated to me but I'm not a pro scout. I'm just a fan

He and Moton were the least of the problems with the line tonight. Both starting guards and center were not very good, and that's being kind.

So is Eflein. He's bad in just about every position. I'm not sure he's even a decent backup. I just hope he can be just average until one of the rookies are ready. I'm really concerned about its current configuration.

The rookies are not playing until they learn all the protections. The sad part is the current starters know them and they still can't protect worth a damn.

You can say that for every team. Hind sight is always perfect. Tne money was spent to ensure there was someone to hold down the position until they found someone better. There was no guarantee that the draft would yield the talent they managed to get. I was never a fan of trying to build through FA nor going after "big named FA's" anyway. Sometimes you have to try to hedge your bets before the draft to ensure you don't get caught drafting for need. That's a horrible way to build a team. I can almost guarantee that Fitts is feeling a bit of buyers remorse with quite a few of these guys himself.

I thought it was sex dolls...allegedly.

Honestly, I thought he looked like a rookie. A good rookie, but still a rookie. One that is still learning this offense and his targets. The offensive line is not doing him or this team any favors. I think Rhule will be forced to throw the two rookies in there if things don't improve in a hurry.

Wish we had a better offensive line to guage his play solely on its merits alone, but it's hard to say. He had more good moments than bad. That first sack rattled him for a bit. I think he will settle in eventually. Not sure I can can say that for the current offensive line configuration.

Lmfao!!!

They looked good up until that last few plays. What's up with those play calls? There's vanilla and then there's whatever that was.

Me? Nothing, I just despised Hurney.

I would have been happy with a mannequin to be honest.

I think the main thing about what made Gettlemen so popular for a while was the simple fact he wasn't Hurney.

I think you meant so say so far.
