OL

[JawnyBlaze]

I thought this was going to be our best OL since gross, Wharton, Kalil, otah and the other guy. Turns out it’s our worst since bell and the dt. Maybe worse than them

I just hope fans don't give him any poo.

Is it meant as a dig at Cam? Maybe a dig at the Panthers? Or neither?

For context...

The Panthers.  Bill can draft oline that's for damn sure.

I feel more sorry for Oher than Newton collapsing and our franchise imploding.

I watch the OL because I used to coach it on the high school level.  Turner has always been overrated, imo. 

Paradis has been a disappointment--he gets owned against bull rushers.

Van Roten is good pulling and blocking on the next level.  Nothing else.

]Williams is in the wrong position.  I think he is a guard.

Moton is our best OL--I think he should be the LT.

Exactly.  Moton at LT, Williams at LG, and Cody Ford at RT.  Would have been Cam’s best chance to stay upright.

I'm more offensive minded in building a roster, so I wanted a major upgrade of the o-line in the offseason. You get more bang for your buck stacking the offense imo due to the rules, you can draw a lot of PI ect, and we knew Cam was no longer a youthful battering ram.

But we have what we have now, and we'll have to find ways to protect Cam and get him to get rid of the ball quicker.

It's a lot easier when you have Dante Scarnecchia on your coaching staff.

There's a reason he only mentioned 3 years. That's because the Patriots have been overhauling that OL since 2016 after the Broncos roughed up Brady repeatedly in the AFC championship of 2015.

Context helps.

It’s only been two games but the oline has so far ranked worse than any year since drafting Cam Newton.

Including the Amini and Nate Chandler days. Let that sink in.

[onmyown]

Of course some of that is due to the defense stacking the box and constantly blitzing with no fear of our passing game...it’s a vicious cycle.

And there’s the coaching staff who refuses to adjust or help the blocking scheme because Ron believes losing his way is still, in a sense, a win.

Question becomes is it talent or coaching?

[Mr. Scot]

Reading it again, I think what Oher is saying is that he believes it's a false narrative that the constant changes at left tackle are a huge deal.

That is, of course, a matter of opinion.
