So I'm on cloud 9 and the anti-OBJ wagon like the rest of the board...and I also hate to be negative after a win but Remmers has really been frustrating these past 4-5 games or so.  He's consistently getting penalized, pushed off balance by both speed and power rushers, and just seems to have taken a step back.  Now he came out of nowhere last year and I don't expect him to be the best RT in the league, but think we're starting to see why he's an awesome utility/swiss army knife lineman but not the future at right tackle.  He still has great chunks of these games however where he plays very well.  He's just getting kind of Steussie on me right now. 

 

I'd rather keep him in moving forward because this line has chemistry and is in good shape...but outside of our lack of pass rush and some other minor things, this is becoming a pretty apparent issue that's clearly not just one bad game by him. 

 

Am I looking too much into this or has anyone else noticed?

We've scored at least 30 pts for 5 weeks straight and never below 20 all season. I think we'll be alright with Remmers.

Oh I agree hence why I wrote my OP like I did.  Just something to keep an eye on.

If your point is Remmers is playing average or below average. I agree. But I would argue he is consistently average or below average. I think some fans expect perfection because of our record. We see witch hunts for our "liabilities" on a weekly basis. But our weakest links are part of the strongest chain in the league. Bene got criticized a ton and as far as I'm concerned his only crime was not being Josh.

Our line is not that elite. Jonathan Stewart could break 6 tackles for a 2 yard gain and everyone would talk about how great our running game is. What we do have is a collection of guys that Cam trusts and he can make plays because they are consistent. We run a scheme that allows guys like Andrew Norwell to play at a high level. He's not a Pro Bowler on most teams. Michael Oher is not a reliable player on most teams. Mike Remmers couldn't make a team before he got to us. It is definitely something to keep an eye on in the playoffs.  Teams like the Cardinals and Seahawks have the talent to exploit our offensive line's lack of athleticism.

I like Remmers, he's a good RT and useful in that he can work basically anywhere on the line. However the penalties could be trimmed a bit, and he has been getting beat more than usual, but it's not always his fault. Sometimes there are miscommunications on the line, someone doesn't help when they were supposed to, and I think teams have learned to avoid Oher plus our interior O-Line is the best in the league. Opposing defenses like to match their best DE on Remmers because they perceive him as the weak link. I think it's more of an issue that the line as a whole is playing SO WELL that when he makes a mistake or gets targeted by the opposing D-Line, it sticks out because our pampered 14-0 asses are spoiled due to 14-0ness and all it entails. I do think that Daryl Williams should get a shot at RT in the next two weeks during garbage time after we've, for all intents and purposes, already won the game. He was great in camp and I think it would be healthy for him to get some game time chemistry with the rest of the line during time when it doesn't matter too much if he fugs up. What if, God forbid, Remmers were to get hurt in the playoffs? We would thank ourselves for giving Williams that game time experience. Hoping for health for ALL our players through the playoffs. Bene must be flipping out that he'll miss the Superb Owl.

I expect Darryl Williams to be manning that spot next year, but I wouldn't mess with the chemistry these guys have for the remainder of this season.

I think that's the only reason Williams isn't the starter now.  You don't want to mess up the chemistry you have when your on a roll like we have been all season.

      Down With The Devils: Series Wrap-up

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Well bois, we gave the Devils their due! Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery... The jersey boys have been trying to jack our steeze for a few years now. They've followed our blueprints and studied our tape. Every offseason, they pounce on our sloppy seconds in a Newark minute. Quick with the puck, ferocious on the forecheck and stifling team defense. Down to the colors, this is this closest we'll come to having to play ourselves in Ole Stanley's Hockey Hoedown. As the postseason began, Rod stood flexing in the gym mirror and saw this guy staring back from the void... (Shutters) When beating us at our game didn't work, Timo and the Tri-State Trash tried to tango instead. Outside of a bitchass cheapshot on Freddie, that poo didn't work either. Their goon squad was getting wrecked by our bantam weights. As much as we all wanted to see Svechy or Staal Bunyan literally break someone in half after the Great Dane went down, they didnt need to. Our munchkins were monsters! Jarvis obliterating giants at the blue line, Logan laying the Stank on dudes twice his size and Blakers blasting Timo into next season. It was beautiful to see! (Side note: Does JBlo wear lead weights under his pads? 170lbs shouldn't be able to hit that hard!) We closed it out in 5, for the gentleman's sweep. Only team in the league to win a series in each of the past 7(?) seasons! And, this was supposed to be a rebuilding year... Onto the awards: Key To The Series : 6 for 19 - .316% IT FINALLY WORKED!!! MVP : 16/180 g/s - .911 save% - 2.53 gaa Seriously, without this dude, we would've won in 3! (Trust me bro) 3rd Star : 6/94 g/s - .936 save % - 1.59 gaa The Great Dane   2nd Star : 3 g - 5 a - +1 - 20:38 toi/g - 18 hits - 3 bs - 58.1% fo 3 PP goals and the 2OT series winning goal! WOOAAAHHH NELLY!!!!   And, your 1st Star of the series : 5 g - 1 a - +3 - 16:48 toi/g - 16 hits - 1 bs - 1 tk - 50% fo Zero, I repeat, zero penalty minutes for the series! MISSSTAAAHHH SVEEECHNIKOOOV!!!!!! Onto The Next: Now, we wait for the Habs to make it a nasty 7 game slog, while we recuperate. And, hopefully, get Nikishin, and some of the other black aces some real peactice time. We are gonna need those guys at some point. Because, if you think the Devils were dirty, hoooo boy, wait till you see what's next...
