O-line Love

Agreed, major props to the O-line.  Didn't think about it, but it was mentioned this morning, part of the positive play might have been attributed to how many O-lineman we kept on the roster, we were doing massive changes on O-line to keep them fresh due to the heat.  Still, Derek had all day to throw.  I think our Run blocking was meh, but it also could be due to the fact that the Bucs LOADED the box all game long thinking we couldn't beat them through the air with DA.  I'll be interested how they do in the run game over the next few weeks as they realize that KB is a gamechanging talent on the outside.

i was concerned, but not panicking about the OL all offseason. nothing has changed for me. the Bucs were missing alot on their DL. the real tests will come later. thankfully our guys have 5 weeks of mediocre DL opposition to get ready for the tests. When we go visit Cincy, this OL better be ready :/ 

 

Ummm... Detroit's DL is not mediocre. They could kill Cam if that interior isn't up to the challenge. Suh is a MONSTER!!! And Fairley is starting to come into his own.

i'll be honest and say that i dont know much about Fairley. Suh, though, is alot like Byron Bell in that he struggles to play at a consistently high level.

Is Trai Turner injured? I noticed Valasco started at RG over him and played well the entire game.

No, but he was during the last couple of weeks of preseason. There was some fear he wouldn't be conditioned for this game, so they just sprinkled him in.

We through Folkerts in at C for a few snaps too..maybe Kalil needed a breather.  Overall I was just really impressed with the guys and what got me was their initial push inside for our draws/dive runs.  DeAngelo was consistently getting 3+ yards for most of the game.

I was very impressed wih our run blocking.  D-lo got 14 carries for 72 yards.  We had over 100 yards rushing without our running QB.  That's what I always hear complaints about.  How we can't really run it without Cam.  Well, yesterday we did.  We had balance.  And it'll get even better with Cam.  The backs were really hitting the holes to the outside and Stewart was hitting the middle hard for those 3-4 hard to get yards against a very stount Bucs interior. 

 

For our supposedly sucky O-line to play like that against a good defense was impressive.  Over 100 yards rushing and only 1 sack.  Heck, on most plays DA had time to take a nap before he threw the ball.  I've never thought out o-line sucked.  I've said that overall I think they can be better than last year when we were so depleated at guard.

      If Graham is gone, fo you take Carter?

      By ncfan · Posted

      I quit following WalterFootball years ago so haven’t checked theirs. But literally no one else is comparing them to each other.  Not built or play the same. To say he is just a pass rusher specialist and say he’s not as strong as Parsons just tells me you have never watched 1 min of the film of the 2. Carter never was even a “Pass rusher” until this year.  Like Parsons.  He started as a MLB who they transitioned them more outside/pass rusher their final year. Parsons was never the strong tossing OL around at Penn State either.  That came about year 2 in the NFL when he continued to add bulk when he moved to the new role. Speaking of the 2,  Carter has More Sacks and More Tackles For Loss  at edge than Parsons did when they moved him his last year like Carter.

      I did it because I had a hunch the people who were separating their shoulders patting themselves on the back for their opinions were in fact wrong about QBs before. Fifteen seconds of searching proved that to be the case. Again -- pointing out when the smartest people in the room have poor takes like those they disparage doesn't make me a Darnold fanatic anymore than it'd make me a Mayfield fan if I did the same thing, only a year later. That said -- Darnold's a product of what's around him being exceptional but it doesn't mean he's a bust. Brad Johnson and Nick Foles, among others, come to mind re: QBs elevated by their teams to Lombardis. I think history's proven no one could win with Matt Rhule as the HC. Steve Wilks took that same team to the brink of a division title and made it relevant for a month (the only month it's been relevant since Tepper bought the team).
