Theyre going to be tested in a bad way vs the Buccaneers late in the season for sure baring injuries to their defensive front . And we have to play the Bills in that window too I beleive. The last few games are gonna be brutal

One thing is for sure though..this team isn't gonna just go into those games, roll over and let those teams do whatever they want. We will see what tweaks are made before then though, especially to the O line, after Christensen and Brown outshine Elflein and Daley by a country mile.

To be fair...i saw jordan have a lot of success against moton today but Darnold either maneuvered in the pocket or got the ball out quick which is something i didnt expect from him. I didn't see a huge improvement from last week i thought they were Just about the same performances but apparently its been good enough to win. I dont want to settle on this tho and hope adjustments are made.

Yeah they've been surprisingly "good enough". Which I'll happily take. Give Darnold credit for getting the ball out and extending plays with his legs. But even Mahomes couldn't escape his offensive line in the super bowl and he is otherworldly in making something out of nothing. Our offensive line is doing just enough to make Darnold's plays effective. They might get exposed by a great defensive team, similar to the 2015 team in the super bowl, but hopefully we'll see even more growth by then.

Is there a reason why Brady refuses to call toss plays for McCaffrey? IIRC Shula and Norv didnt like to do those either. Just odd that you have a RB thats good in space and you over commit him to running in the middle where your weakest part of your oline is. Bit of a head scratcher. CMC is not Derrick Henry but Brady thinks he is playcalling wise

Head scratcher for sure. Maybe guard play? Remember when Daley pulled and nearly ended up concussed? It makes me nervous watching dive after dive with CMC

Most people thought we should have taken Rashawn Slater w/ pick no. 1. Horn makes us a better football team that Slater would have.

What I saw of Slater today he was absolutely destroying people today.pancakes heads snapping backwards from his punch in pass pro.

Pushing guys 4yds of the los on the goaline.

OL was getting knocked backward at the goal line….we are not good run blockers at all

Yeah, we need to improve there.  But we looked better than the saints who supposedly have one of the best o-lines in football.

CMC 3 yards a carry.  
Kamara .6 yards a carry...seriously, less than yard.

It’s simply not a good OL. We have to game plan around them and the D knows that. When the D knows we are running, we have no shot to bully the DL. We’ll see where the rookies are but we absolutely need more talent and guys who are more like Moton in terms of durability. Erving and Elflein have been hurt in game in 1 of 2 and 2 of 2 games. Erving missed most of the off-season. Miller and Paradis are nothing to write home about and Daley had tackled CMC I think twice now. Aside from Moton, we do not have a single above average OL on the team. Maybe the rookies grow into that, but right now we have Moton and below average.

That boneheaded play by Sam was directly due to him having multiple guys all over him. Should have taken a sack but let’s be honest he’s made some nice moves to avoid sacks and throw the check downs and out of bounds. For all the we’ve only given up two sacks, we’ll that’s more on Sam, CMC and play calling than OL play. Remember Robby’s long TD? Longest throw but it was Cam-esque getting away from pressure and arm strength to make the throw.

Would you say the saints have a good OL?

And yet the Chargers, with their franchise QB and franchise LT, put up only 17 points against a subpar Cowboys defense. Not very compelling for the “if only we had drafted Slater” crowd. Horn has been a boss so far and is a big part of our defensive transformation this season.

Part of our run game woes is that Brady has been overly predictable in his playcalling. It’s not very fair to expect an o-line to create push against a stacked box because the defense knows we’re running it with CMC. He needs to get more creative there and I guarantee it’ll open up more running opportunities at the goal line.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
