This is simple thread topic. I've seen comments in other threads addressing our o-line play the other night. Thought it would be good just to talk about it all in one place.

I'm seriously concerned. Just didn't look good. Ron said so, beat writers said do, my eyes said so.

What say you Huddle?

It could be worse. We could be Houston and be looking forward to a year of Matt kalil at LT, but we been there...done that.

That said....it still ain't good, we need better and if Rivera/Hurney want a job here next year, they better get that fixed.

There isn’t a qb alive who can withstand 16 games behind this OLine 

Definitely not the one that played the Patriots Friday night. Hopefully they gel in the next 2 weeks. Honestly think they should move some pieces around, particularly Moton and Williams.

I agree they haven't looked great but did you expect them to be sharp when 3 of the 5 members of the line have changed from last year and 2 of them are playing their first meaningful snaps in almost a year? I'm sure there'll be growing pains the first few weeks but before we decide we need to completely turn over our line again next year, let's make sure it's not just a matter of getting rid of the rust and gelling together.

I think one of the biggest issues is putting guys in the wrong position. Williams to right tackle, Moton to left, maybe Little at left guard would seem like a better lineup. Hopefully Paradis comes around some after more practice time.

Beat me to it!

Wouldn't moving pieces around make it harder to gel?

True. Unless the pieces are out of position. Williams is a pro bowl level right tackle when healthy. Why switch him to the left side when coming off an injury? Particularly since he's never shown any great ability at that position in the past.

Fans tend to only attribute bad play to player talent etc. The O line has to play as a unit to be effective. What I saw made me think there was just really poor communication. With Our new C being new and not participating much in practice, I’m hopeful they can get the needed chemistry. It won’t look great the first few weeks though.

under the current CBA, O line play always lags behind D line play.

Here is what I expect...a generational talent at QB should be protected. Figure it out

The OL is very concerning. It was concerning several months ago. Not much has changed. Realistically the odds that change was going to be immediate 3 games into the preseason was always extremely low. It's not plug and play like madden ultimate team. Guys need time to gel.

I wouldn't read too much into how things played out against the Patriots. Vanilla offense with no gameplanning against a blitzing defense that let's just be frank here, basically won the Super Bowl for the Patriots against a very prolific offense in the Rams in the lowest scoring Super Bowl in history. Honestly the injury scare with Cam is moreso on the staff for not properly considering how the Patriots would approach this game. They were looking to send a message. If you are going to put your franchise QB out there just to get reps, you need to be running plays to minimize the possibility of exposing your QB to hits. Again, the staff needs to be more intelligent about these things.

      I think the same thing, they don’t have any better options especially since Christiansen is out for the year

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      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.
