What can be done about o-line?

[CRA]

Quick hitters and max protect

so you want a new offensive scheme and one that plays to our QBs weakness?

[CRA]

We need a 2013 version of Kedrick Vincent

Give Vincent a call. Get him off that couch.

Yes. I trust his ability to adapt over our o-line's ability to play competently.

i think someone needs to go to the local bars and prisons and find the biggest meanest motherf#%^rs they can find. 

 

no talent bouncers would be better than what we have,.

We just aren't set up to play that game right now, and it plays directly into Cam's weakest part of his game.

Dude, it's the preseason.  We've always kept things very vanilla in the preseason under Rivera and never really shown our hand.

 

Yea but we are taking vanilla to a whole new level.  I am not buying the logic in that.

So how does someone know we are  not able to run a power scheme when we haven't opened up the playbook and are virtually running the same plays regardless of defensive scheme. Especially when we ran it quite well with virtually the same personnel at the end of last year?

I don't get why many say the offense (or Cam) is not capable of a scheme incorporating short, quick passes.  Just how much skill/talent is required to draw up 10 or 12 such plays and execute them, where six guys are protecting the QB for maybe three seconds max, and he's throwing bullets to guys running buttonhooks, etc. 25 feet away?

So with this oline I can expect the next for months of Sundays to be full of:

1 cursing

2 throwing crap at the TV

3 stomping around the house

My family will be delighted.

you can start by NOT waiting until after training camp to try and fix it.

 

quit putting it on the backburner. fix the areas that need it. get your OL set before you go into training camp instead of it being a 3 week audition just so you can find out that you still need 2 more pieces for it to not suck.

 

and then...get them used to each other and their roles so they can hit the ground running like a well oiled machine instead of taking the first 5-6 weeks to get average.

We didn't run well last year. Did we do something to improve our ability to pound the rock?
