Starting OL

The line wasn't that bad given all the blitzing the steers were doing backups or not.  This was a top 3 defense in 2020 so of course we struggled with no gameplanning to neutralize the blitz. But I thought the backs picked up blitzes and as the game progressed the guys started sorting things out.  Were there some wiffs and misses? Did we leave points on the board? Yep.  Of course we have lots of work to do but it wasn't as bad as many here are suggesting.

It’s gonna be a night and day difference in an opposing defense’s gameplan with vs. without CMC on the field for us. Defenses are gonna be more reluctant to blitz, they’re gonna invest more coverage to try and contain CMC (opening up opportunities for other receivers), and if they DO wanna blitz, we’re talking about having access to the absolute best safety outlet for a QB under pressure. You can’t overstate the impact of our absolute best player sitting on the bench for the entire game today.

Just now, Mr. Scot said:

I would say Erving looked better than expected tonight.

Still not sure I'm ready to trust him as a full season starter at LT though.

He and Moton were the least of the problems with the line tonight.  Both starting guards and center were not very good, and that's being kind.

Paradis? Wellllll... 😕

I've begged for years to draft a guard, center, and for either Little to work out or to finally find a good LT.

here's hoping Brown answers one of those.

    • He made some excellent throws but he always has made some excellent throws here and there. I don't know what to think, which is what I was apprehensive about. Is he going to have a decent downfield game? Because okay Legette dropped one, but someone was giving stats prior to the bye or during it where he had two downfield completions and one of them was the jump ball that is just launched and fingers are crossed that our guy comes down with it, and yesterday we saw that again. The Russell Wilson school of downfield passing.  I don't feel like that is sustainable, but at the same time you have to do Something to make the defense understand they have to defend that downfield throws. Like i said, confused.  I guess I'm going to review the game for myself and look closely at his mechanics and stuff because if he actually fixed that stuff it explains the better throws. And that has been my biggest objection, or what I see as the thing that makes or breaks his chances, that unorthodox dropback and tippy toe action and not having his feet set which limits velocity etc etc. 
    • The negative Nancy in me (or objective?) says that they had a bye week to prepare for the Chiefs. However, it’s one thing to have a good plan and it’s another to actually execute it. For all the flack he’s received (from me as well), Bryce seemingly has put his head down and worked his tail off and his play is giving me hope. The first 18-game Bryce showed no progression whatsoever. He gets benched, comes back, and has shown steady progress every week he has started. I think I’m starting to see what the Bryce lovers and unconditional defenders were saying all along, and I hope he can show that on a regular basis for the sake of our QB1 position. 
    • Yeah, we could still very well end up 4-13 with the 2nd pick.   I think LVR has the inside track for 1, with only a JAX team as a team on docket that could be beatable.
