Our oline needs to make a decision

[Snake]

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.

I don't think they're good enough to make a decision on anything.

 

They are what they are.

Holy quad post what the heck.

Gettleman should of drafted at least 1 ot or picked up one , bell is the worst in the nfl

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?

It's the server.  People just need to be patient and stop hitting "post".  That, or either open up a new page and see that their post is already live.

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.

Play within the rules? I don't remember how many drive killing holding penalties we had but it seemed like thete was at least one on every drive in the first half

[Mother Grabber]

you mean they are making a conscious choice to play at a suboptimal level?
