The Offensive Line

I see a lot of chip blocks in our future out of our TEs and RBs on that left side.  I just hope Williams holds up better than the Miami Hurricanes LT in last night's game.   He got absolutely DESTROYED!

I watched very little of that game last night, but in the little I watched either that Miami LT is straight trash or that FSU weakside DE is a top 10 pick next April.

I'm seriously concerned

I am too.  However, this is the preseason and RR maybe letting Washington call the shots to see if he needs to stick around.  Do I really believe that? No.  If this is the best we can put on the field to protect a quarter back then Cam should retire and the back ups better be ready to take a beating.  I hope there is a magic wand that can make things right in the next couple of weeks.  I've stood behind Ron since he came here but I'm starting to lean toward he needs to go.

One bright spot is Matt's gone.

We would be better off starting Greg Little at LT and moving Daryl Williams to LG. Little has graded out better than Daryl in the preseason. 

I wouldn't move many around at this point.  That would be confusing.  As we go along, probably.

The line is serviceable.  Probably closer to the top 3rd than the bottom third.  Most QBs than not in the league will be dealing with a worse line.  It's on Cam to stop holding onto the ball so damn long

Oh, you mean #15.  Gotcha.

I know seems like the apocalypse around here with the line play. Things could be worse.

I repeat: Things really could be worse... 

Poor Joe Webb.

By the way, they were about six other examples I didn’t feel like documenting today from the replay. The Texans line is the worst thing I’ve ever seen.

Holy sh*t. That is unbelievable.

Is it possible Big Daryl is on a  one year deal and wanted to play LT cause that’s where the big bucks are at.   Or like someone already said I think they could be trying to solidify  the right side for the coming years with hope Little’s is the future LT

I appreciate your unbiased observations. How did you feel our second and third lines held up? Maybe it’s just me. I think the starting line is ok, they will be ok, but if we have an injury or substitute.........man o man.

Here is a good article looking at how the patriots crushed our line.

Can you grab the clips of all of Cam's dropbacks? Just curious as to how it compares.

Look at the article I posted above. They have GIFS showing our line looking just like the Texans.  Although I think I we will improve.  I think that is what you are gonna get all year from the Texans. 

Cant wait to see Speedbump McGee on 9/29. It will be. A pleasure watching Burns torch his lazy ass

Got it. Thanks. 

The first sack, the play Cam scrambled to the right and threw the ball away, and then the play Cam was injured were all on par with these Texan catastrophes. Instead of just running like Joe did, Cam tried to stay behind the line to make a pass down field. 

A lot of people seem to not want Cam to run. But honestly his ability to defeat blitzes with his legs creates big plays for the offense and helps keep him from taking big hits in the pocket.
