This.  I'm sure others saw it during the game, as well.  How can you step up into the pocket when the center and guards are being pushed back into your lap?  Whether you like Darnold or not, you have to have some sympathy for whomever is the QB in this situation.  Who wouldn't have happy feet?

Look Im no Darnold fan, at ALL. Still think about his career of playing behind the some of the worst OLs league wide and for most of you career Undrafted robbie anderson was the best weapon. Rough start doesnt say enough. 

He hasnt done himself favors, but far as tools, hes a near perfect fit for an modern NFL QB profile.......Just had major issues reading an NFL defensive after the snap......checks notes.... thats bad

Losing ground inside also makes it harder for your tackles to do their job.  How many times have you seen opposing tackles this year just ride Burns upfield past the QB because we weren't getting enough push inside?  OFTEN.

OLine is very much a team deal.  You need to be reasonably stout in the middle and reasonably athletic at tackle.  I could even argue that being stout in the middle is even more important.  Shortest route to the QB and all that.

      Dan Morgan pre-draft press conference

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      Finally got a chance to watch the entire presser, a few takeaways: - It's clear that the team's first option (excluding one of the top 4 players dropping ex Mason Graham) is a trade down. - Dan got caught on one of his responses when he said "if we're stuck at 8" the local media noticed and Joe Person immediately followed up with a question pressing him on the use of this phrase. Dan didn't really have a good response to it.  - Its not really a big deal, its probably good to let the rest of the league know we're willing to trade down and have them make us a offer

      Sure but LT is more like QB where scarcity requires adaptation. WR and Safety have plenty of guys coming out that can go the obvious route in their respective types. My example wasn't really well done I guess.

      Sax: Who To Expect

      By Icege · Posted

      Both currently have abysmal TE rooms. JAX: Hunter Long, Brenton Strange, Johnny Mundt, Shawn Bowman, Patrick Murtagh NYJ: Jeremy Ruckert, Zack Kuntz, Neal Johnson, Stone Smartt JAX needs an RT like you said though... could go with the big boy in Membou to play across from Walker Little. Positional value is there which would keep the Khans happy as well. I think on the off-chance that the Jags trade with Chicago should they want to jump LV for Jeanty that they'd probably sit pretty at #10 and scoop him. I'm still leaning towards the Jets unless Graham is still on the board. Shoot... I wouldn't be too upset with the Panthers trading back and letting another team (Indy?) take him at #8 (especially if they land Ez wherever they land :3)
