The offense line was actually adequate vs the Falcons

One of the dipshit guards was out.

I honestly forget which one is which out of dumb (Miller) and dumber (Daley).

Both of those boneheads needed to be benched a LONG time ago.

Actually both.  Miller is on IR and Daley lost his spot in the starting lineup.

It wasn't just adequate, at times it was dominant in the run game.

Take a look at Scott and Michael Jordan on the replays. That may be the best guard play we have seen all year.

IT was, we have to keep Scott at RG he connected that dot with a line that was broken at the point.

Is it just me or did the offensive line have an entirely different feel yesterday? 

Being able to get aggressive in the run game is the key. Get them out there inflicting the punishment instead of always on their heals in pass protection.

 

Of course, teams will now game plan for the run against us, so we shall see if it continues.

I don’t think the right side of our line ever had an issue with road grating and being big and pushing forward, it’s more the fact we have a RB school committee who all run different and the left side of our line are semi-doughboys. We can’t get too far behind with this squad. God we need at least CMC back next week.

We ran the ball 45 times yesterday (granted some of those were scrambles).  And we got positive yards most times.  That makes pass blocking easier.  

 

Its true that Atlanta's defense isn't that good.  But I also thing having the new running back helped.  He provides some speed and elusiveness that we don't have without CMC.

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
