Our offensive line, to paraphrase Randy Moss, is...

"Straight trash, homie!"

I know, I know. Another offensive line thread. But, this is worth talking about more in-depth.

I hate Byron Bell as the starting LT. However, he's not even the main issue. The past two weeks, we've faced very similar defenses. Both of them have attacked the middle of the offensive line with twists, stunts, and delays, and it's ahowing.

Ryan Kalil looks perplexed, giving up 2 sacks and 4+ hurries the last two games, along with Silatolu and Turner/Velasco who have given up a combined 2 sacks and multiple pressures.

The most concerning part about this is the mode of attack. Both defenses, Baltimore and Pittsburgh, have done the same things to attack. But, over a two week span, the Panthers still don't seem to be able to handle the opposing teams' gameplan.

Now, I firmly believe that Shula is very bad. But, we should really start looking at replacing Matsko at season's end, because I don't think he has what it takes to coach offensive lines in today's game.

All of this points back to one main point, though. Gettleman preached that you have to win from the trenches, but then proceeded to field a DT, a rookie, and a heavy-footed RT-at-LT for our offensive line.

This whole thing is a disaster, and it's going to cost us games, and ultimately, the season.

Getting blown out two weeks in a row and this defense looking lost and having no fire is really troubling. They get on the field and I have no faith.

That said it's still early, were 500. Lots of football to be played. This time last year we were 1-3 and looked abysmal. The offense is not our strong suit as an entire team

As of right now and I'm telling you this. Right now without any good RBs and a oline that blows to high heaven. Cam and KB is lighting it up. If DG would put our first 3 picks on a few tackles and a guard. Then maybe sign a Vet tackle this off season. Then get a few new RBs can stay healthy. Cam and KB could easly be the most dangerous QB/WR combo in the league next year. But that is if DG invest in the offense a lot more this off season. Offense is key this off season for DG.

The difference is we were 1-3 because of poor coaching decisions last season. In this case, the losses haven't been close. You can't pin it all on one thing like decision making to get things turned around.

defense wouldn't be as tired if the Oline wasn't getting mopped up nearly every drive and play...smh... what defense is energetic after 4 TD drives against them and no offensive relief? Our issues start at Oline and then offensive play calling then the secondary whom will continue to be exposed as long as they are on the field too long. disgusting gameplay today!

I'm glad he noticed. Tired of everyone blaming Cam. Listened to Bayless and Stephen A use every excuse in the book for Brady the other day that I actually had to flip channels mid segment.

When Cam has time in the pocket he's as good as anyone. Cam can make up for the lack of talent at WR with his arm. I guess the silver lining in all this is that we might be in position to draft Cedric Ogbuehi

Richie Incognito is still a FA.

 

 

In all seriousness this Oline could use a dirty nasty big lineman who can actually block on the team. Our Oline is too damn soft. Incognito would light a fire in their ass!

 

 

*But we all know this has like a 1% chance of actually happening.

fug no.  Incognito sucks.  And he's a shitty human being to boot.  If he was actually good, your notion could be entertained but he doesn't have the talent to overcome the fact that he is a shitty human being.

TOP was about even today.

 

The reason the defense wasn't getting off the field today was in no way the offenses fault.

 

It was because the defense couldn't make the plays.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
