Which offensive line do you wanna see?

the offensive line in the second half of the season, which included many backups and players in new positions, looked much better than what we started with. I don't remember nearly as many runs where JStew or DWill ran into the back of their blockers for a three yard loss in the last 6 weeks.

Which line do we see next year? The guys who started, or the guys who finished?

I sincerely doubt we sit Gross and Otah, if that's what you're implying.

I'm thinking he is wanting to trade one or both of them. I would consider trading Otah (I think Schwartz can fill in nicely at RT) for a 1st but otherwise, no. Gross is a great LT wherein Wharton is a good LT great LG.

If you notice the playcalling had a lot of plays rolling outside the pocket to keep Moore from being under pressure. That could be because of Moore's better mobility or it could be because of scheming to cover up our olines weakness IDK.

It should be noted that last season the O-Line and run game exploded down the stretch, very similar to this year. I think it probably has something more to do with cohesiveness, repetition and finding their rhythm than it is personnel.

I will say that our O-line should be set for next year, I don't see the need to make a single change.

i was thinking along the lines of a trade... but it is comforting having such capable backups

yeah, definitely is nice to know we have great depth at o-line. look at the Packers when their o-line got banged up early on, they were on pace to shatter the single season sacks allowed record.

however, I have complete confidence in our offensive line coaches/etc. We got Schwartz LATE in the 7th round, and they turned him into a respectable player. Shouldn't be too hard to find a decent back-up that they can mold into a good player.

moore being able to actually throw a completion helped things too... kept defenses honest. when jake was at the helm defenses would blitz like crazy or drop eight in the box to stop the run... that never makes it easy on offensive lines.

i think it's no coincidence that everyone's looked better since moore started.

I think that has a lot to do with it.

I also agree with this. It's not just the offensive line we should look at, but also our opposing defensive lines and the performances of the backs themselves.

I was very impressed with the performance of our makeshift line, but I wouldn't be so quick to start any of our backups or trade away players like Gross and Otah. If anything, I'd want to try and send away backups for picks, a la last year. Really though, I'd rather just keep them knowing we've got great depth on the line.

Sometimes it's okay to recognize you have great depth at positions without feeling the need to have them supplant the starters (especially when said starters are Pro Bowlers).

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.

      I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce
