On a positive note... the O-line

Yeah, this loss sucked... we should have won... yada yada... I'm right there with everyone pointing out the bad and feeling how this loss sucked.

But I don't think anyone has yet pointed out... our O-line continued to look good against Chicago. Both for pass protection and run blocking. We were clicking rather well and continued good play from last week against the Jags.

Now maybe the Bears are really that bad at D... but the Jags are not that bad... and I can only think of a handful of times in both of these games that Cam had any real pressure. Zero sacks in two games.

Sure part of the credit goes to Cam for being so mobile... but man... they stood that line up. And it was nice to see DWill come alive (8.2 yards a carry).

We get our Defense and Special Teams shored up, and we're gonna blaze some people going into the rest of the year.

I'd say the gap between the quality of pass blocking and run blocking is still pretty big. I'll grant they seem to be getting better though.

Saw Byron Bell subbed in for Otah some again yesterday.

Ya... I'll give you that. Our pass prot is better still.

But we put 169 yards on the ground, 134 of which came from our RBs and not Cam.

That's a marked improvement, and would only be possible with good running lanes.

      I mean, I think you're being a little hyperbolic with the last statement, but point taken.

      Pass rush was the biggest issue in tonight’s game, and we were tied for 28th in sacks this season. That is a major area of need that has to get addressed this offseason. I just don’t see a path where there’s a game changing QB you can bring in with where we are drafting and quality of veterans that will be available. We certainly can do better than Dalton as a backup, and should ideally have a developmental guy  (perhaps a day 3 pick this year). We have bryce for one more year on a reasonable contract and then I think 2027 is the year that you reset that position (unless he massively improves).

      Agreed, honestly basically bringing this group back as a healthy unit would be alright.  Brady Christensen should be resigned to a very reasonable deal with him recovering from the Achilles.  Atleast we're alright at 4 of our 5 spots with Lewis, Mays, Hunt, and Moton, Nijman was decent.  While if we can snag a deal on someone, take a stab, however our resources need to go to Linebacker, Pass Rush and a real option outside Tmac (coker is amazing, but if we can get someone who isnt braindead opposite Tmac, we can fully unleash Coker AND Tmacs full potential, cant move him into the slot if racoon boy is out there licking doorknobs).
