OL looked bad last night

Darnold has better pocket awareness and bigger brass balls than Teddy Two Yards did so he's actually made our offense better than what it really is.  He steps up in the pocket, avoids sacks with some decent moves, and isn't scared to run the ball if he has to.

Our O-line is atrocious, there are no other words for it.  The two fumbles Sam had was because our line can't hold for three seconds - Sam has to know this and protect the ball from here on out.

I am also tired of Rhule and Brady trying to lift the O-lines spirits by trusting them to get one damn yard on 3rd and 4th and 1s....they can't do it.  Again, we need to implement zone blocking schemes, misdirection and designed runs to get outside....we won't be getting more than one or two yards a carry up the middle or off-tackle.

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.

He struggled, but obviously im not just talking about this game specifically. He isn't the one that needs to be replaced. We can count everybody else struggling more in the future than moton.

The OL is definitely trash. It's extraordinarily obvious. 

We need just accept that is going to be the case for the bulk of the season. Maybe the younger players start to show some sign of being able to help us as the season progresses. That's about all we can hope for.

On the positive side, we have been able to win three straight games with a dumpster fire OL. Says a lot about the scheme and the play of the rest of the offense.

Not sure if the "last night" in the title thread is necessary.

I will say we were giving our backs an actual chance later in the game but unsure how much of that was attrition or better execution.

 

IMHO "last night" is necessary. The first two games were against excellent DL's. 

Seeing a substantial increase in pressure against a weaker opponent is NOT good.  

The first two weeks were serviceable.

Darnold should have seen less pressure last night, not more.

As long as we get some guys that are better at the game of football than the bush leaguers we have now (Elflein, Daley, Paradis), I will be happy. 

Miller is crap, Daley is a stop gap. Paradis is bad.

Move Elflein to C, give Brown first team reps this week at RG and fug it, see what Jordan or Christensen can do at LG.

      Breakout 2025 Candidates

      By shaq · Posted

      Who are your top three breakout candidates for next season?    My three: Jatavion Sanders- Simply put he is the best receiving TE we have had since Olsen. We all saw his potential over that three game stretch prior to his neck injury where he showed a real connection with Bryce. Good route runner with glue for hands, limited blocking upside but he gives solid effort. With Tremble already being hurt I don’t see a reason why he already isn’t our starter and clear future at TE. Trevin Wallace- For a developmental LB forced into a starting role last year he  exceeded expectations. LB is one of the hardest positions to adjust to from college, and for a prospect who was widely regarded as very raw, surprisingly he was solid in coverage and only had an 11.9% missed tackle rate. He was overly aggressive consistently, and needs to work on his play recognition. But he is set up to be our best LB next season, and likely starter for years ahead. Even barring reaching his upside, his floor was clearly a lot higher than draft pundits assumed(Morgan can scout LBS). Cade Mayes- I am hopeful Cade wins the starting job at C this season. He may have been our most improved player last season, he looked like an above average starting C after he took over for an injured Corbett. He allowed 0 sacks on 327 pass block snaps. Corbett can not stay healthy, and at this stage in his career Mayes is objectively the better player. Mayes is only 26 and gives us the potential of stability at C, something we have never had since Ryan Kalil retired. Corbett slots in as a great backup C/Guard, and Cade continues to develop and gain more chemistry with Bryce and our stud duo of Hunt/Lewis.

      Have to pair them like this for it to work, imo. Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Walker Ghosty - Chatfield    I'd prefer something different but that's probably what we end up with unless Ghost is traded to one of the 17 teams not on his MNTC.
