So What Are We Doing About the Offensive Line During This Offseason?

Hopefully we don't tie our offensive future to the personelof the past.

You want to land a new offensive mind then have him  play Fox ball?

Remember last year and the qb being sacked a lot and the oline looking terrible? 

 

Every single player on the oline and most of the depth is power run, play action type of line. 

If you wanted to switch from that, you'd have to replace nearly everyone currently on roster playing oline. 

The other option is letting Young get destroyed again for another season. 

 

:shrugs: it's depressing.  Lol

 People want new innovative offense but don't have any patience to do it.

Do you really want to be stuck with power run forever?

Not what I meant, was saying that unless the oline is replaced there isn't a point to playing BY unless you're running power run with play action.  He's going to get hit and beat up again for a second straight season otherwise.

I think drafting someone like Jordan Morgan (OT Arizona) is not off the table, I would try to sign a guard in FA, and I think our third or fourth round pick should be a center. 

I *know* we desperately need help at WR and edge opposite burns but it doesn't matter what we do unless we fix this line first. 

Ickey not taking a step forward really really fuging sucks

CJ Stroud?

One that is tall enough to see over the iOL, has the arm to make every NFL throw and has the footwork to navigate the pocket. 

and do you think his line at Alabama was massively shorter than the one hes behind now and the football he was throwing there was much smaller?

Not defending his play...but some of the physical detractions are overblown imo. Yes its a different game in the NFL but Youngs problem is execution not lack of ability to execute

I mean I would personally probably hire a GM and head coach. Seems like a good start.

Yep. Just like the Tepper haters, everyone will be happy once we actually have a GM/scouting who can draft well and a coach who can build a solid offense. They can figure out who’s worth saving and who can work in the scheme you want to run.

It’s going to take time and honestly, I have 0 faith in Young so be patient and don’t try to keep patching like we have been. Every draft should have 2+ OL/DL. I don’t know if this 100% correct but it sure seems like there are a lot more late round OL that are successful. I hope our new GM/scouts don’t ignore OL like Fitterer and Hurney did from 2018-2023.

Well, ultimately Tepper is the real GM. If he ever steps away from such an active role, there is some possible chance we could get a good GM or HC. I don't see that possibility for at least another 5 years.

Use an offensive scheme that matches their skill set 

It doesn't make sense that our line was pretty decent in 2022 and a new regime comes in and all of a sudden we are the worst line in the league.  Many have posted that the scheme is the culprit and not necessarily the players.  

I've never been much of a fan of zone blocking or whatever they call it these days, but we need to get back to utilizing the talent of the linemen which is more straight up blocking.

    • In January 2014, I posted this on another forum.  Seems like it fits again:   Do you remember cheering for the rain? Trying to sleep after “The no-call”? Do you know who needs to "Ice up, son"?   Remember pleading for .500? Thinking there’s no catching the Saints? Punting to Buffalo and knowing how it was going to end?   Do you remember how you felt about Kalil’s ad? Or the fan’s follow up? Gruden’s interview with Cam?   Do you remember Clausen being the steal of the draft? Will you ever forgive Mel Kiper?   Did you cry as Jake said his goodbyes? Do you remember the game that cost Gruden his job?   As fans chant “Luuuuuuke,” do you still hear “Moooose”? … “Hoooove”?   Do you recall changing the diaper? Paddling the boat? Being happy just hearing the name Smoot?   Do you recall the day when it hurt to say “Keep pounding,” and you felt you’d lost a close friend?   Did you hunt the net for Bojangle’s commercials? Have you seen a Cajun’s bare butt?   Do you remember the sunken feeling when Smitty was caught from behind and didn’t get up?   Sports Illustrated’s prediction?   Were you angry at Janet for stealing the spotlight? Does “X-Clown” still give you chills? Do you sing the wrong words to “Day-O”? Whenever you hear “He Hate Me,” do you also hear Rosinski finishing the sentence?   Did you like Seifert a little less when he let Walls’ streak of games-with-a-reception end? But nothing compared to letting Steve go, right? Do you remember that invincible feeling you had when we won the first game of 2001? Do you recall who our division rivals were?   Do you remember thinking “Just wait ‘til Bazooka’s healthy”? How about that weird grin you got watching Kevin Greene fire up the D? Or being undefeated at Ericsson?   If your answer is “no,” we happily welcome you as a new fan of our beloved team. Trust me, we’ll be happy to explain all of these and more to catch you up. For the rest of you, it’s been entirely too long since we were alive after week 17. But every question that you answered “yes” to makes this all the sweeter. Welcome to the playoffs.
    • Future considerations......     DUE to several high dollar players spending time on IR the canes have    37M in trade deadline cap space.....
