Gettleman: We are confident in our offensive line.

 

Williams averaged 5.1 ypc and the line allowed one sack and one hit on the quarterback. Overall those are pretty good stats for this patchwork line. Seattle's defensive line was not 100% but these are better numbers than anyone could have predicted before the game.

Williams avoided the A gap all game. That ypc is going to go way down if that continues.....opponents will have an easier time with him if he is that predictable.

They did a decent job of run blocking, but as mentioned, the A-gaps were always filled. DeAngelo made some tough runs, but couldn't get the 2-3 yards we absolutely needed on 3rd and short a couple of times (although part of the blame is shared by DeAngelo's questionable decisions on which lane to use). 

 

Pass blocking, yes Cam only got sacked once, but he was hurried and seemed intent on getting the ball out on short, quick throws. I think part of the reason why we didn't attempt many deep shots is because the O-Line is in such shambles (obviously another part of it was Seattle's secondary).

 

Don't forget that Seattle was missing two of its three best pass rushers in Irvin and Clemmons.

If we want him to block shifty linebackers, he needs to be much faster. Smith blows right by him and gets an arm on Deangelo.

 

Bell (lying on the ground) Also gets man handled and his man finishes off the tackle.

 

Hate to break it to you but Wharton is a couple/four weeks away from being in relatively good condition. 

 

Trust me, I know all about ( or at least my mirror does) overweight, out of shape guys that attempt to do something that is above their physical limitation. It never ends well.

      Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates

      This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
