I agree that our O-line probably isn't as bad as a lot of Huddlers think, same was true last year, but you can't just judge an o-line off of sacks and pressures.

Sacks and pressures are not just O-line and D-lines stats.  They are products of the QB and OC also.  WR's and the secondary also have a huge influence on them also.  How many sacks happen after a QBs first read is covered?  

Fact is our system and play calling is very O-line friendly.  Just because our offense if functioning somewhat well that doesn't mean our O-line couldn't improve.

 

Personally, I am more concerned about run blocking, or lack thereof at this point in the season.  Right now, we are bottom five in the league in ypc, even with CMC back.  Of course, the Saints have a very good run defense, and the Jets run d wasn't bad last year.  But we don't get much push, especially in short yardage situations.

I'm right there with you on that. They have to get the run game going and fast.  It will open up so much more of the offense and help Sam exponentially in the passing game.

I agree.    We schemed  to get the ball out quick which is OL friendly and have the best RB in football who still get yards when there is no hole.    We also max protect for deeper drops like on the Robby 57 yarder in the jets game.  We know our OL isn't the best and we scheme around it.

I'm not against upgrading the OL, even mid season. 

I'm just trying to give props to OL for two pretty good games that exceeded expectations that resulted in two wins, especially after the huddle has denigrated them for months.

If don't have holes to run on Thursday, I'll be very disappointed.

I wouldn't say disappointed, maybe concerned is more appropriate from my perspective. 

The run game is crucial to the success of this season in my book.  Both establishing it to stopping it.  The rest should take care of itself, theoretically.

      Serious Thoughts Fellas What numbers would Bryce..

      By Panthering · Posted

      Can he get to 100+ yards passing by halftime? It seems impossible for him. He shows off in garbage time when the opposing defense lets up. I agree with everyone else about the eye test, he routinely fails that. The best eye test thing I saw from the Giants game was he actually stood tall in the pocket some, even stepping up in the clean pocket to make the pass. Keep doing that and throwing with anticipation and maybe it'll work out some for him. But I just don't have much hope for him long-term.

      His style of play is limited by his physical ability, hence, the field of play is condensed. we need someone who can make all the throws. If this team is content with winning 9 games a season, every other season, relying heavily on premium offensive talent…  Bryce’s ceiling is maybe 1-2 games above .500, as long as he is surrounded by playmakers. The whole point of a franchise QB is to make B- talent look like pro-bowlers, and load up the defense with capital you didn’t have to spend on the O. We have that equation exactly ass backwards.
