Prediction: offensive line has their worst performance of the year sunday

[electro's horse]

By rate, production, eyeball test, whatever. 

I have said multiple times that a major part of the line struggles in 2023 were due to Bryce not knowing how to adjust coverage, not having a consistent drop back, being unable to find throwing windows, and just generally not being to operate in a modern nfl system. 

Bryce clearly doesn’t know what he’s looking at out there. In the secondary he’s so inaccurate it doesn’t matter. No real point disguising coverages if you have no idea where the ball is actually going to go. In the front seven Bryce has shown he doesn’t understand…anything. Saints this season were just using the playbook from nfl blitz and he couldn’t figure it out  

bryces drop back is never the same. As an offensive lineman you can’t do anything that requires timing. You can’t run screens. You never know if he’s going to the spot as designed, or walking slowly, or if he’s running out of the pocket right away or staring down something that’s not open. Are the tackles blocking up or down? They don’t have eyes in the back of their heads  

we know Bryce can’t see over the line or find throwing lanes consistently. Moton_too_tall.jpg

The offensive line has been the bright spot for this team weekly, record not withstanding. 

after a month + of competent qb play, the line is going to look like poo on Sunday. Even with Dalton the team wasn’t going to be competitive against the broncos. The line would have probably held their own.

With Bryce back, Sunday is going to look like that scene from event horizon.

Maybe. The Denver front is stout, the O has been out of synch with these two new players injected, and then add they will dare him to throw the ball. Of course. 

Hard to say anything good and mean it.

This guy has the most fuged up drop back I have ever seen. I expected him to fix it in the offseason so that he looked like an actual NFL QB but nah. The line will suck because no one is gonna go all out for this clown. Lots of business decisions to be made.

And I totally get it and agree with them.

A pick the first series and then the same old mess. I just don't think he can play to a backup level in the NFL. He doesn't have the tools to play outside of the pocket like he wants to and he is incapable of playing inside of a pocket.

Denver should just play tight and blitz the hell out of him.

I have bet multiple hamburgers on us getting blown out again.

I completely agree. Bryce causes the OL to look much worse than they actually are. He has no pocket presence, no understanding of defenses, and gets tackled by a stiff breeze.

yeah he never plays on-time. if a play calls for 5 step drop get rid of the ball in 2.7 seconds he always hesitates and starts to run around, play over

Last year was both.  I mean defenses literally just went right up the middle.  Our OGs with Boze were struggling.  For example our OL looked fine in Bryce's first 2 games this year.

And yet their average time to throw was almost 3 seconds even with all those blown plays...

This year it was just obvious with better OG play and none of the blown plays.

Yeah this year it was clean pocket, open receivers. Last year was a poo show and he was clearly part of it. Remember those PFF ratings. One OG had a legit 0.0 one game….

It's tough on an OL when the D knows they only have to cover about ten yards downfield so they can just key in on the ground running game and short passing game. No one respects Bryce's ability to beat them deep because he's never shown that he can.

I remember plenty of standing there watching a pass rusher go by, and the blocker didn't ever notice until they are by them. Stunts were guaranteed to get you free. 

But that was not every play and there were plenty of better executed snaps that people wouldn't allow to be factored in.
