Turner, Norwell, and Williams are all pretty good football players.

But Gettleman never did anything with the line while he was here so they don't count. 

People don't really want to believe it but we've had one of the better O-lines in the league over the past few years. O-line play in general has been down, but comparatively, ours isn't as bad as other teams. 

When 4 out of 5 of our offensive linemen are Pro-Bowl caliber guys and your offense is sputtering, it's less on the GM and more on the O-Coordinator.

They've moved on to blaming Gettleman for not having starter caliber O-line backups, lol.

 

But what do I know, i'm just one of those gettleman-worshipers @TheRed was talking about, and should be more grateful for all the wonderful work Hurney's done

Excuse me?

Our failures at consistently building along the OL the last several years fall squarely on both Hurney, and Gettleman.

If you can argue with that, I don't know what to tell you.

Also, I don't want Hurney here. So it helps if you actually know what you're talking about.

I was wondering about that. I heard a stat that he had only missed one FG this year. Is that right?

Yep. Basically 97% accuracy on field goals. Nothing over 48 so far, but he kicks what they tell him to. And he has been booming them on the kick offs. There were a couple of extra point hiccups, though.

Keep in mind this is the "PFF" version of the NFL All-Pro team...not the official version. I questioned it when I saw Matt Ryan as 2nd team QB and Dion Lewis as 2nd team RB...stopped from there. The official All-Pro team is much more prestigious and isn't decided by fans like the Pro Bowl.

Matt Ryan has only thrown interception worthy throws on 1% of his passes this year. (8 of 12 were not his fault) Big reason he is #2.

Gano has been pretty consistent but it's absurd that we're paying him amongst the highest in the league at his position and can't trust him to kick a 50 yarder.

Is it that we can't trust him or we got a scared coach? Gino hasn't gotten angry already this season about not being allowed to kick long field goals.

He barely throws past the LOS let alone downfield that much. Do you see the YAC his receivers go out there and get for him? It helps to have receivers capable of actually running routes and getting open, along with an OC who knows how to design plays.

    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
    • Well, we got our answer on Army today.
    • Not a chance the SEC could compete with the NFL.  In the large cities that are not in the Southeast, (LA, NYC, Chicago, SF) College football is an afterthought.
