The offense line was actually adequate vs the Falcons

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.

Aside from Darnold's runs, it was still pretty inefficient.  

I think with McCaffrey back, we can win playing that way because our defense is so good.  But I didn't think the OL was overly impressive.  We just took advantage of a below average defense.

Scott on the right side all of a sudden made that right side look competent again. As a result Paradis looked to improve from mediocre to below average.

Adequate is the right word to use. There were still mistakes, missed assignments and holds but you can compete in a game with that line. That being said, OL has to be the number one priority next year. If not number 1 then 1B.

Oh and shout out to Ian Thomas too. Thought he did a very good job at the point of attack yesterday in the run game.

They looked better, but are still unbalanced. The 46 runs yesterday was still not close to the 50%/50% that they are striving for. If they can get closer to that then that will help out both the pass and the run by not allowing the opposing defense to get a handle on what they will be calling coming out of certain formations. However, I am happy that they were able to dictate the game other than being controlled by the defense.

Did you all watch this game?

Over 200 yards rushing. 0 sacks. And we controlled the ball for 35:23 mins. 

We struggled in the red zone but if DJ holds on to that pass goin g out of bounds, we feel alot different. 

You can be cautiously optimisitic and say that the Oline improved.

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.

I think Mike Davis actually won us the game yesterday.  When he knocked Shaq on his ass yesterday,  got up and flexed like he hasn't been an absolute bum this year it seemed to light a fire under this team. Shaq was an animal after that And it seemed the oline was tired of being punked yesterday as well.
