Start Christensen and Deonte Brown Next Week. There is no other option.

Moton-Daley-Tecklenburg-Miller-Christensen would be the best option assuming Tecklenburg is better than Paradis. An improvement there helps the guards out tremendously and doesn't start a chain reaction that reaches to the tackles making up for Paradis' mistakes.

You really don’t think Rhule will do this do you?

he strikes me as a little Riveraesque were this is concerned

This OL, as-is, absolutely sucks and will single-handedly ruin the season.  Yes, the defense got gashed today, but the Cowboys are a good team and the game really came down to us not being able to move the ball or score on the last possession of the first half and the first possession of the second half, which was also when Quinn realized if he overloaded the box with pressure that we couldn't stop it.  Then it was a free-for-all.  Fix it, Rhule.  That game shouldn't have went down the way it did.  Don't let it happen again.

I don’t disagree. I would move Moton to the left and start these two. Couldn’t hurt.

Think Sam was hit 10 times today. Sacked 4

Starting Brown wouldn't do anything until you change center. It's hard to tell were the guards stand as they keep having to make up for Paradis.

Not trying to be pessimistic but I don’t think Tecklenburg would be an upgrade over Paradis and Elflein is on IR

As bad as the interior of our offensive line has been, you can't just assume that Christensen and Brown are better or more capable.  They have potential and we all hope they can be.  But for all we know, they are guys that shouldn't be in the league. The coaches--who yes, could be wrong in their evaluation--don't think they give us a better chance to win than the current group they are trotting out.  And they both see how all the players in question perform in practice and know a hell of a lot more about football than all of us.

Someone reminded me Erving has played center before. Might actually be our best option atm. Moton-Daley-Erving-Miller-Christensen to start out in practice and if that helps out the guards, then good. If one of the guards shows to still be weak after the change, then replace either one with Brown.

    • Rod has absolutely been my favorite coach of all time, but its not working in the playoffs.  Its just not.  Hindsight, we should have went with the goalie rotation we did the regular season.  It was working.  Freddie is coincidently getting worse in the playoffs.  You see the correlation there.    However, missing Pesce and Fast is not helping.  Benching Noesen in Ot last night when net from goals was working is mind numbing.  Rod needs to be held accountable.     We also need our shutdown line back.  I know fast is out but Staal Maartnook and "insert" need to play.  But like you said, nothing matters if your special teams are poo.  and boy are they poo.  7 power play goals allowed in 6 games is how bad the PK was to start the year.  Yall remeber how awful we were to start the year.  Power play is atroicus.  Its 0-11 is insane how bad that it is.  You cant and wont win against the presidents club winner playing like that.  Lastly, goalie play is average to bad.  You arent going to win allowing 8 goals in 2 games.  We need our goalies to make saves.   Discipline.  We don't have it.  We know the Rags are going to flop.  We know the refs are going to fug us.  Its what it is.  How do you fix it?  Mindful of your stick.  Forecheck...hit it and see it.  Dont give them the chance to flop or call penalties.     Rod needs to be held accountable.  Its not working.  Playoff Rod is playoff rod for a reason.  not because we made it up.     Lastly, no its not over.  These are correctable things.  We could easily win the next two at home and boom, GAME ON!  But for that to happen, Discipline, PK, PP, and goalie must be better. Its alot more than just winning 5v5.  They all tie together.  If I had to pick 1 to be good.  PK.  Stopping that like we did all year, would solve most problems.

    • Funny enough over the years I can say Pittbulls have been the best family dogs i've had out of all the breeds i've had but I know with their reputations people don't see them as family dogs
