lets give our o line some credit today

i was at the game today and it seemed like moore had ages to read the field. FINALLY gave our wrs time to get open and make some plays!!! the beer/moore's pick 6 combo almost gave me a heart attack, but great game!!

I was AMAZED at how well out o-line played! I feel it was one of the main reasons we won this game. Like you said. Moore actually had time to pass. Pass protection was great.

yeah, nothing about the o line was great, but just solid. run blocking wasn't good, but other than the sack and gross' usual false start.....i like what they did with the new lineup.

The O-line was OK today, but not great. If they were great, DeAngelo Williams wouldn't have been running into a brick wall so often. I'll take it though because it was good enough to win.

for a while in the 2nd half we really started to grind it out for some solid 3 yard gains.

If we can just get up to consistent 3 yard gain as opposed to 1-2 yards that would be HUGE. 3 yards used to be failure in motion now it's wishful thinking.

I was honestly not impressed. I saw one too many passes where Moore got a completion but also got the crap knocked out of him because a defender was basically already making contact what appeared to be simultaneously with the actual release of the ball.

I think the actual time difference between an incompletion, fumble, and a completion were really a matter of nanoseconds today. NANOseconds. That's much to close for my taste.

And to boot on 303 yard passing day we still can't run the ball with 2 of the best running backs in the league. That's no excuse.

So many people were so busy putting it all on the QB the O-line have been getting off easy this year. I say something still needs a lot of work on that O-line. They continue to get dominated and gashed pretty regularly.

We need Otah and we need him bad.

I was thinking the o-line wasn't looking so great. It looked to me like Moore was constantly being rushed, not to mention the run block was terrible and has been so most of the year. We do need Otah back bad.

I agree with Venom.

The OL was not great but they did play better than the bottom tier of the league.

The run blocking was atrocious, and the pass blocking looked better than it was because Moore actually has decent pocket awareness and can extend a play that extra second or so to make a throw downfield.

It was better than with Schwartz and Bernadeau in there though. Schwartz needs to pick up his game however, and Garry Williams didn't utterly fail on pass blocking and thus was a significant improvement.

Damn this post is jumbled... bed time.

Props to Kalil though. He is a beast center and is probably one of the best in the league.

Oline did a pretty nice job in the passing game. Run blocking still leaves a lot to be desired.

i mean, when you're in the basement the stairs only go one way.

good job o line.

You know who was throwing some nasty blocks in pass protection? Jeff "El Hefe" King.

There's a reason he gets playing time over better receiving tight ends in Barnidge and Rosario.
