Has been getting a free pass in my eyes and has been a liability in pass blocking lately, a lot lately. Maybe he can move to the other side or something but he's getting beat like a drum.

Everybody is playing for their job and Jordan Gross is not doing well. Is he someone who needs to fear their job next season? Cam has been taking tooo many blindside hits and #69 is usually on his ars in the background, or another holding penalty.

Jordan, play like you want it!!

kick him to RT, take a LT high in the draft.

people seem to forget that this line was built under fox to run block. he was ok with having guys whose pass-blocking skills weren't wonderful because it wasn't their primary job. the chudz offense is going to require new skillsets along with that new passing philosophy.

He's actually been quite good this year, and he was going up against the best defensive line we will face all year. The problems on this line start with Bell, who forces poor blocking schemes to make up for his deficiencies in pass blocking.

What does this have anything to do with Bell who's on the right side? Gross got beat too many times, and he's been good? So allowing shots to his qb and being blindsided is good? My goodness. And btw, Bell did pretty damn good today.

Gross has more false starts than holding penaties. 4-3. (And 1 of his holding penaties was phanthom.) And usually plays against the opponents best pass rusher. Yet he is trash? I do not think so.

I do think that Bell is improving. But to me, he would be better suited at RG. He is a mauler, not a technician. Draft Kalil for RT, move Bell inside, and we are golden.

But I have no idea for what I speak!? I just like to spew my opinion.

Bell is scary good. He may be good, but he scares me. If he does not scare you, you are not paying attention.

Bell forced protection to be rolled to his side, and with the Detroit interior being so good it left Gross on an island today against a very good pass rusher. It wasn't a good game for him but to put anything on him for this season is ridiculous.

Bell is one of the worst RTs this season, and he's been a problem all year long. He is okay in run blocking. It in pass protection he just can't keep up with anyone resembling something fast.

      Looking Way Ahead, But.

      I didn't say I thought throwing it was a bad decision, I said I thought not running those 3-5 yard routes to pick up the 1st down wasn't a great call.  Yes the play worked out, but I didn't love the play call, it's like when a bad shooter is taking a 3 and you're yelling "no no no" as they're going up and then they make it so it worked out. That's still gambling on them to make the play and I take no issue with that. But I just went and watched the play again, we had T-Mac and XL running downfield crossing routes, Coker went in motion behind the LOS and then moved up a yard or two after the snap but not even past the LOS, Sanders chipped the DE and then ran a drag route right long the LOS. The play worked out, but I don't really like that particular play call and route tree with the game on the line on a 4th and 2.  If you want to send one route downfield as an option that's fine, but there were only 2 realistic target options with that route tree and they were both 15-20 yards downfield.

      Chuba is a better back than Rico.

      If BY comes back, they 100% need to bring in legit competition.    Heres what as you are alluding too. This team can either sign Icky&Mays or BY, I do not see both without cuts/trades/etc. My vote is for Icky&Mays, draft a QB....

      JB shouldn’t even be a thought IMO.  Bonus if he ever matters for us.
