To the average fan they were worse but in reality Payton Manning was just getting the ball out quick. When you take away the future HOF QB and add a avg Joe QB it looks real bad.

Peyton Manning doesn't have mobility, but scheme did force him to make the quick passes.

Siemian had mobility, so one could argue he should've been able to evade the pressure way better than Manning ever could. Yet that never occurred, as his o-line crumbled before his eyes.

How about you accept their o-line is pretty darn bad?

Lol I seriously doubt that. Our oline is really bad hidden by a great QB.

Yet why didn't Cam do well this year if our o-line was real bad?

We had a top 3 o-line in 2015. Many on the Huddle did predict we'd have one of our best lines in a while as well, and we certainly did. That's part of the success Cam had with the long-developing plays Shula loves to call.

2016, we saw our line crumble with injuries. Of course we're going to look like poo, but nowhere near as bad as the Broncos starters are. I'd rather take our practice squad RT than the Broncos starting RT anyday.

Mobility doesn't make up for a quick release and years of experience.

Worried about his injury issues but worth a look

Okung literally lost games with holding penalties last year.

 

Not even joking. He would hold on game winning plays.

Everybody holds...

Why is everyone so down on Williams? I really hope he is the starting RT and continues to get better. He had some good games and I think he can be better than Oher.

Not down in Williams...is he better than Oher...

He doesn't seem to have anything left to me. Cameron Fleming is an option. He's a RFA but the Patriots might let him walk.

Why is everyone so hot on these FA tackles whose teams told them to take a hike?  Does that set off warning bells to anyone?

Sure, we can get lucky, like Oher, when he's healthy, has been a more positive and negative OT for us.  But do we think we can kick the tires of every late 20s OT who has been on a few teams the past 2-3 years?  Or is it worth bringing in a "name" OT for the sake of it?

I remember Okung's draft profile.  He had some well known issues with effort, health, and ability.  Doesn't seem like it's changed that much in his NFL career.
