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

To me the plays where players just blow by Byron Bell or Gross are talent problems.   Nothing can be done about those until we upgrade the players.  My problems are how confused we look on line stunts, any blitz that comes up the middle, and any play where the guard is pulling.   Those look to be coaches and scheme issues. 

 

That's where my confusion comes into play.  My thoughts are the scheme is the coordinator problem but the actual line calls are the OL coach responsibility.

Meaning he works with the players to communicate that if blitz comes here you stay inside, you block here, etc etc.   I don't see a lot of that on our team.  Also I know before his injury Kalil used to make the line calls.   Is Cam doing them now?  Or Kalil again?

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.

lol no worries

    • 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.

    • 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.  🤣😂
