OL looked bad last night

[Rocky Davis]

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.

I think we are going to go all in on O-line in the offseason like we did with QB this year.

I do not think KC will be able to extend Orlando Brown, he will be a "all in" rental for them. Who Knows with all the cap space we have.

As I keep on telling people, Paradis is a fuging problem.

What? More reclamation projects? They did that this year with the free agents that they brought in.

I mean....most of them are a problem at this point.

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.

PFF is trash. That is all.
