Our oline needs to make a decision

They need to decided right now if they just want to keep playing passive and by the rules and allow our QB to get killed. Or they need to decide that they are done with being passive and are going to protect Cam at any cost. Bell got that last night when he took down a Pitt player by the mask. Yea it was 15 yards but it was not our QB for the rest of the season. Turner and Amini should take note.

Kalil gave up two sacks I believe.  On one of them he was looking over in Chandler's direction, as if he was worried if Chandler could pick up his block.  This is horrible blocking.  Cam has been sacked at least 7 times, and on pace to be sacked 52.5 times or more this year.  He already came into this season with a bum ankle and sore ribs.  By season's end, he is going to be lucky to have his arms and legs attached to his body.  Rivera better take note, and get this man real offensive lineman.  Stop being cheap.  By the way, why did Trai Turner not start the game?  Was that injury related or skill related?

why does it appear that the line blocks better for DA?  Smaller sample size?   

 

He makes faster decisions and DA is mobile after his drop.  Cam tends to stand like a statue until someone touches him.  Of course Cam is the more accurate passer and better runner.  For Cam, we need to build a super O-line that can pretty much stone wall everyone, to compensate for Cam's tendency to stand firm in the pocket.

so do you think right now DA is more equipped to run this offense with who we have around right now?  i agree with what you said and Cam tends to wait for a guy to get open rather than anticipate when they will be open or look off the WR in general.  something he certainly needs to work on.  there were some plays though, he had no options other than try to throw it away which is still difficult with the pressure that comes up the middle.

DA has the experience to run the offense effectively.  Cam has grown considerably and has the accuracy to hit guys right in the hands whether they are covered or not.  If only Cam could be more mobile within the pocket instead of standing around.  I wouldn't sit Cam because of that.  He's a better passer that DA.  Just needs to move his feet in the pocket.

I don't think anybody could truthfuly look at last nights game and belame the line. There where plenty of time were they made a wall in front of cam and gave him adequate time to throw the ball down field or make a decision to get out of the pocket. Cam can't just sit in the pocket for minutes at a time and not expect to get sacked. Also the times that pressure came up the middle it was on Probowl center Kalil, which we shouldn't worry about because he's an allstar caliber player.

 

Another person to belame is the OC for not running the ball against one of the worst run defenses. Especially everytime we ran the ball we gashed them. Not saying the offensive line had a good game, but they should definetly not be the first ones to belame.

      Well, he either plays well or we suck again and get the #1 pick and get our new QB for next year.  Im not stressing.

      the way it should be. the way it has to be.  when you get a rookie (no matter where he is drafted), you don't expect him to play like a vet or even get a grasp on NFL offenses like a vet. if you intend to have him running the offense, you build the offense around what they do and what clicks.  not Young's fault, but he was sold as someone who would be a rookie but has the mind of a seasoned vet. guess what...he wasn't. reich and "his" crew had no idea how to work with a rookie QB or groom one. they thought they knew, but they didn't and it was obvious in the lack of plan they had for him. their plan was to treat him like he was a seasoned vet. even with that, i don't think they had any clear vision not just with Bryce, but with the offense. There was no cohesion between all the various coaches. nothing fit together and reich wasn't a strong enough leader to pull it all together.  i like the approach of starting over with the fundamentals and i think it's good for any new coaching staff or new QB to a system. you don't know what to expect so you start from the beginning to make sure you're on the same page from the beginning. and as you get more used to each other, you learn what works, what could really work well, and what won't work and you form the playbook around that. contrast that with chud who had been working on a playbook for years and just wanted to use it regardless of whether the situation called for it or the personnel he had (on the team or even on the field) fit what he wanted to call.   or last year when we had coaches from completely different backgrounds trying to put something together that was supposed to be a blend of what each brought to the table, but just ended up being a sloppy predictable mess that didn't fit anyone on the team, QB, WRs, and OL.

      Least excitment before any season?

      By Johnstonny · Posted

      I've always been super pumped up for the upcoming season but I've never been so uninterested in a new season. After six years under Dipper I've been left at end of season drunken and wallowing in my own piss... not invested in the team right now but hope Canales and Morgan make a good team together...
