Speaks to Newton's escapability more than anything.

Plus the line improved by leaps and bounds when Chandler and Silatou were replaced.

He was pretty immobile until the Cincinnati game..

Good point. The Steelers and Eagles games were hard to watch.

[Lumps]

Bring back Bell!

The eagles game was after Cincinnati, but that game was just a dumpster fire. I'd rather forget about it forever

We were probably #1 up until Remmers, Norwell, and Turner solidified the offensive line.

 

I don't give a fug what anyone says, we had easily the worst line in the league up until that point.  That poo was embarrassing.  It messed Cam up so bad he was feeling phantom pressure for a while there even when he finally started to have time.

108 of those were allowed by Byron Bell.

Eagles game especially. I've never seen a more terrible offensive effort.

Yeah I don't give a fug what the stats say, I am right!

 

Anyways, the only real excuse anyone can say is that Newton was injured or his WR corps were bad. Tannehill with a worse oline performed better than Newton. Hopefully he improves this season.

Of course no one wants to mention Luck lol. Stafford is also interesting, worse oline but better performance.

Bridgewater also quietly put up very solid numbers. Terrible O Line and his "weapons" were Mike Asiata, Greg Jennings and Jarius Wright. He is going to be a very, very solid QB. Maybe better than very solid...

I think you need to go rewatch the games of our offensive line pre-Remmers, Norwell, and Turner.  I even admitted at the end that Cam was feeling phantom pressure once he finally started to get time.  Our offensive line was actually pretty solid towards the end of the year.

 

Stats need context.

 

But by all means, come in guns-a-blazing and try to stir poo up.  It is a TonyN thread after all.

Christ, can you imagine Luck with the Denver line?
