Moton got beat a lot last nigh too.  The interior, was clearly the worst.    

fair enough, we got our lunch money espcially whipped in the trenches last night

but Erving was especially bad in one on ones this and last week.

This 10 day stretch gives the coaching staff a little longer to get Christensen, Brown and Jordan up to speed.

The play of the iOL is unacceptable right now. I can't imagine they're not going to be testing the waters on a lineup change during this break.

These guys would make John Riggins look pedestrian . Our solution? Let's blast Chubba up in there! That'll show em.

Our line had not made holes up the gut in similar sitations like that all season.  To send a finesse runner up the gut like that when they are clearly in stacked box, goaline D, is the most amateurish call.  I don't know WTF he was thinking.  I thought we got Arnold and Marshall to have big guys to grab it off the shelf in the corners of the EZ.

Sadly Arnold doesn't strike me as a high-pointer. I thought that was what we were getting, but he's a finesse TE who plays smaller than his listed size.

Linderbaum is my current draft crush. Would love Neal but I feel like there is almost no chance we will be in a position to draft him. We should seriously just use every pick we have on OL and if just 2 pan out as good starters I'll consider it success. Just go full on shotgun style.

Can he change his name to Fenderbaum?

Outside of Moton....NOBODY on this line is a legit starter or above a backup role. Thats just the truth and it's gonna continue to unravel over the course of the season. Im just hopin Darnold can stay healthy.

Moton didn't look like a legit starter for a lot of the game either. That game was just an all around bad performance by the Oline.

This should be the draft under Rhule that we invest in the interior. Our short yardage run game is poor, we been stopped several times this year with a yard or two to gain. The inconsistent oline play IMO is a major reason why the offense tends to have lulls throughout the game, which allows the opposition to creep back in the game.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
