Dumb question....but we gave up 7 sacks. Why are they not accounted for? Does this mean they were coverage sacks or the QB held the ball? Or does Cam have to take credit for them all because he didn't win the game with his 5 yard run?

Sacks are a QB stat as much as a o-line stat.  PFF will often assign the sack to the QB.

2 of those sacks were Sam scrambles where he ran OOB behind the LoS while outside the pocket rather than throwing the ball away because he's a moron.

To be fair, I think Rhule might be right on this one at the moment, and it has nothing to do with Brady

He's not an elite sure fire LT, he could be a pretty good one, but he's not that... and with our draft pick, we very well could get that, and I'd much rather have that type of guy than Brady out there if we have the choice.

So take an elite LT with our first rounder, move Brady inside to RG, sign a Center or draft one with a mid round pick, and give Deonte a shot at LG next year.

The problem is this is also why Rhule is an idiot... because had he been playing Brady out there for the last couple of months, we might know if he was good enough to at least be an above average starter and we could have used the draft pick to address one of our many other needs.  But since we just won't know before the draft and we have a chance to get an impact LT from day 1, you can't pass that up.

To be fair the Saints have an elite edge rusher and Christensen didn't have to deal with him at all since Cam Jordan plays on the other side. I wonder how BC would have done against him, but at the very least it looks like he's better than the embarrassing example set by the interior linemen so far. 

Thats the frustrating part, we really cannot accurately judge BC.  Yesterday, to me, he looked really overmatched but the IOL did him no favors.  Fact is BC should have have been inserted at the beginning of the losing streak to change things up.  Now we are not going to have enough film to know if we need to draft one at 6.  Would be nice to know he is an above average option but we jsut dont know

    • Honestly though, it could easily happen if Bryce doesn't improve.  The defense is definitely worse.  And those offensive additions won't mean a whole lot if we don't have at least average QB play. I agree with the overall approach of focusing on the offense.  But we could definitely be worse than last year.
    • looking at that list, it's a wash if i'm an outsider looking in, we lost a bunch of nobodies and gained a bunch of nobodies. any names that are well known that left, were replaced with relatively similar (but older) names. maybe the o-line improved, but at the expense of other areas
    • I'd say it's a push given my options. There's no way of telling.  Last season they thought they had an all-star staff. That was not true. This year it's "player upgrades".  But having said that, it appears they have upgraded the oline and dline at a few spots. I love that mindset in team building but the results of player choices has yet to prove itself on the field. I'm also very doubtful of these new coaches. I'm hoping I am completely wrong about this staff but I do not think they will be able to pull this off. So, I will say they got better at having a good plan but that's all I can give you until the season is over.
