Kalil Not Practicing

Ugh.

No offense to Tyler Larsen, who I like, but Ryan Kalil is the engine that makes that line go.

Without him the OL isn't even half as good.

Kalil has been really great for us, and I hope this is just something temporary... but it would probably behoove us to get some real insurance. Just like when Kalil was drafted, there are many years when you can grab the best center in a draft for a second or third round pick.

Larsen looked good last year, but did not play well last week.  Then again, I am sure it didn't help that Norwell played like crap right next to him.  

It's flown under the radar but Norwell has been really bad in both games this year both run and pass blocking. Really hoping it's just a funk that he snaps out of and not a sign of regression because we really need the guy back to his old form.

Norwell dominated week 1. Didn't notice him this past week, but the pressure was coming from the edges, not the middle.

To be fair to Larsen, Ryan practiced as the starter all week before the game. Ryan had to be replaced at the very last minute. I want to see Larsen with all the practice reps this time around.

It makes you wonder how much players truly 'always prepare as if I'm going to play'. Obviously everyone says it. But when it comes down to it, is that just fluff? I can see a lot of the backups being pretty lackadaisical in preparation and it biting them in the end.

Under the CBA rules there isn't enough time allowed to get everyone ready. Your starters get their reps and the backups have to make due. I don't how the players expect to play football without practicing football.

That and OL play is heavily impacted by continuity. There has to be chemistry there, especially from the guy calling out the protections.

    • I think the same thing, they don’t have any better options especially since Christiansen is out for the year 
    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
