You're telling me Pat Eflein and John Miller are better than them....

The guys they're blocking in this clip aren't starters, and the defense isn't game planned or fully schemed.

So yeah, while it's good to see them playing well, gotta remember it's still preseason.

Deonte Brown was a rhino on Bama’s line. He was the pancake maker. 
 

did people really doubt he was gonna do some of that at this level ? lol 

I know right?

But that just doesn't fit the narrative that our o-linemen are trash and we didn't draft any decent o-linemen.

Oh no no....apparently just this thread.  The line-whine crew apparently doesn't want to post on this thread... wonder why.   Its funny, the very people who run around saying how important the linemen are, spend the most time trashing our linemen.  When our linemen do well, you would expect them to celebrate the progress on the line.    Instead of kudos, they go silent.  They aren't oline experts.  They are assholes.



 

You do realize those are the same people if the line is good, the RB is good, and the WRs are good, and the TEs are good, but we still suck on offense,...

who's to blame....oh Joe Brady not calling the right plays now.

But then again it's just preseason....

Run Game

Watch Deonte and Brady move their guys here. Unfortunately, Someone else blew it (maybe 78 Trent Scott), but the right side of the line was solid.

The MLB made the tackle and was untouched. It’s odd to say but the massive space created, actually helped the defender with his read.

I don't think anyone doubted he could be a mauler in the run game, the question was could he be agile enough to get his hands on people in pass protection or could he make blocks consistently beyond the line of scrimmage. 

BC and Brown looked good enough  against backups that I would like to see them against starters at some point in the preseason. We know that Elflein and Erving aren't likely to the guys. I'd much rather watch younger players with higher ceilings tale their lumps and potentially get better.

Sometimes All-SEC OL don’t live up to the hype. There is one on the team right now who “some” said his ability shouldn’t be questioned because he was “great in the SEC”. Wonder who that was?

We might know it, but that's news to Fitterer, Rhule, Brady and Meyer who went out on the first day of FA and signed them both to decent contracts.

You don't go after two veteran, ex-first round picks, that aggressively if you don't think they're the answer.

Surprised a flag wasn't thrown on that first play for holding. Then again, it is preseason.

Meh, he kept his hand inside and held the jersey "between the tits". O-line gets away with that more often than not. It happens somewhere just about every snap.

Calling fans assholes for having the nerve of wanting adequate oline protection for the starting quarterback that you have spent months defending from any and all possible criticism is indicative of your general toxic attitude toward differing views. Yet others are the problem while you are the victim. Right. Personally I was good with both the picks of Christensen and Brown but the question was all the loafing back and forth about is BC a guard or a tackle and the big reason for optimism when we selected him was that he would hold down the right or left spot. As long as we can protect the quarterback there will be few complaints it's as simple as that.

Miller possibly. Eflein, unlikely.

People need to remember huge difference between what some teams expect out of LG and RG.  Depending on scheme can be a lot more pulling for LG.

    • So how about the Mondays after we lose? Because those Mondays after the Jags, Pats, and Bills games better have been run suicides until your legs fall off...
    • Saints trade WR Shaheed to Seahawks Seahawks get: WR Rashid Shaheed Saints get: 2026 fourth-round pick, 2026 fifth-round pick Seahawks' grade: A- Saints' grade: B+ One of the NFL's hottest passing teams just got better. The Seahawks currently rank third in EPA per dropback (0.25) and first in success rate on dropbacks (53%). And now they are adding Shaheed in a move that makes sense both on the field and in terms of where the Seahawks are as a franchise. Shaheed, 27, is averaging 1.8 yards per route run this season. But I think that sells him short because that number is down a bit from his career average entering this year (2.0) and he's been playing a role that includes running fewer vertical routes (34%) compared to last year (44%). Shaheed also has consistently posted above-average open scores in ESPN's receiver score metrics, including a 63 this season that ranks 28th among wide receivers. As a complement to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, I expect Shaheed will run downfield more often and be a bigger threat in that role than rookie Tory Horton was. When Cooper Kupp returns, he and Shaheed will make for a nice pair of secondary threats behind one of the best receivers in the league in Smith-Njigba. This is the time to strike for the Seahawks. FPI gives Seattle an 84% chance to make the playoffs and a 5% shot at winning the Super Bowl. This addition helps boost their chances without mortgaging their future the way the Colts did in the Sauce Gardner trade. Shaheed is a pending free agent but given the leverage of the moment for the Seahawks and their need I think they ought to be plenty willing to pay the cost. Shaheed is young enough to where if Seattle doesn't retain him he should sign a free agent contract that would yield Seattle a compensatory pick -- if the Seahawks don't nullify that pick with signings of their own. Because the Seahawks currently have $79 million in cap space next year, per OverTheCap, getting that compensatory pick is not guaranteed. The Saints are not rolling in cap space the way the Seahawks are -- and thus would land a compensatory pick for Shaheed -- but they got more draft capital this way than they otherwise would have. Considering New Orleans' 1-8 record, this should have been an easy decision.
