Why does John Matsko never get any blame for our OL?

Just wondering why John Matsko the "Offensive Line Coach" never get any blame for the poor line play?  I looked up his resume and it was impressive.  However I look at our O line the past 2 years and it's been horrible.

 

Just seems like when Oline plays bad it's either:

 

GM for not enough talent fault

Shula for not calling plays where they don't have to block (giggle yeah I know)

Rivera because he is the head coach.

 

I haven't seen 1 mention of what the hell does our Oline coach do?

Great coaches are the ones that can take a player and make that player productive when nobody else can. A coach has to be able to develop players. Have we seen that? I don't think so. It's debatable how much Amini has improved if at all and Bell is still terrible.

It's a tough call to make on where the blame should fall. Amini is D2 player, Bell was undrafted, and so was Williams. Then we go out and get Another D2 guy in Kug. The blame probably goes all the way around but he definitely doesn't have the talent he needs to be an effective coach.

We got a Lamborghini(CAM) and we keep putting hubcaps on him expecting him to shine.

The offensive line actually played well during the stretch last year when we were winning, and that was without Kalil.  I think he's definitely a good coach if he can get production out of that line last year.  And I think we they start settling down and preparing for stunts and shifts they will be better.  And if we can get some better pieces they will be even better.

Would be interesting to see in the last few years where our linemen have come from via draft position, versus those teams with above average o-lines.

 

Then compare salaries to account for bringing in free agent types.

 

I'd image you'd have part of your answer there.

in the last preseason game I saw Williams without being engaged by a defender, look at a blitzing LB'er as if it was a ghost and not ever attempt to block, that's not a technique issue that a fuging moron issue. serous as someone as someone season earlier, you cant polish a turd

 

btw I'm fickng smashed right now

Just playing devils advocate but you to continue with the car reference, we have a couple Ford Fiestas on the OL and you are expecting the position coach to turn them into F-150s.

Apologies because when I look at it from that point of view it does look like I was digging for dirt (not an excuse but on a 2nd glass of wine).  I did mangle your post. 

 

On the bright side, I could be Joe Person in disguise or even better, have the talent to work for ESPN...

 

Seriously though, did not mean to take you out of context.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

      NHL Draft 2025

      Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
