OL

With as bad as it looked yesterday, what do you chalk it up to? Just a bad game? Or do you think it's schematic? Lack of chemistry? Or personnel?

I would be in favor of kicking Bell to the inside to RG and give Campbell a shot at starting at RT. I've never been a huge Hangartner fan, and I think that shift could have a positive effect on the entire unit. Silatolu should be fine and is young, but he had a rough outing yesterday. But yesterday, I think the problems started with the interior line.

No to campbell. He has a mental condition that impede's his ability to learn on the fly. The reason he was so unsuccessful in oakland is because they moved him around, leave him at once position.

Bell played fine, it was our 3 interior lineman that dropped the ball.

Hangman is probably the least physically gifted of these three, but the big issue was just lack of communication and whiffing assignments. Whenever they all got their guy on a clean block it worked out fine, way WAY too many guys got in untouched on a consistent basis though. This happened in the Jets preseason game. These 3 guys are not on the same page and need to figure it out before the Saints* game.

Campbell has been playing tackle the whole preseason. Left and right.

Campbell is our backup RT. He wouldn't be switching positions and Bell has the body and ability to excel inside, IMO. And his "mental condition" didn't appear to affect him at all during the preseason. He looked really good.

Also, is anyone not impressed we didn't keep a close game with ten fuggin rushing yards? If not for that blocked punt, we would have won. Cam threw a fluke pick and threw up another in desperation mode.

If not for all the reasons they played poorly, they actually played well?....that sure is reassuring.

Well, I think our OL gets off to a slow start every year, as evidenced by the run production week to week. But, I don't know that their DL is that good just yet. A lot of the problems we had were with the extra blitzers and not so much the DL, at least from what I saw.

McCoy is a very talented DT and clayborn looks good as well. If it weren't for Suh overshadowing McCoy we would have heard MUCH more about him pre draft. Also notice that last season when the bucs completely collapsed it coincided with Mccoy being injured.

The O-Line was the worst group of our team yesterday, and Hangman was our worst O-lineman. Why not move Garry Williams from backup tackle to starting RG? G-WIll has proved he can be effective as a starting lineman in the past and I can't comprehend why he shouldn't get the nod after Hangartner's awful performance.

All in all, I thought Gross definitely played the best game and showed a lot of effort. It's hard to grade Kalil's effort because he was often pulling ahead onto the linebackers while DeAngelo was getting tackled 3-4 yards in the backfield.

    • This is a wild statement it’s to late to save his season with six games left? That mountain of bad film as a rookie with trash coaching a weak azz line and dismal WRs. Guys that can’t catch on with other teams or guys traded to teams that are subpar at best. We put Bryce in a terrible situation to start his career does that matter to you or you feel he should’ve, as a rookie elevate this dumpster fire. If you’re giving him a fair assessment judge him off the last four games a good o-line decent WRs still not comparable to any other young QB WR room Hou (tank/nico..) Tua (Hill/Waddle) Caleb (Moore/Rome/Allen) let’s see what he can do with a decent structure around him for the next few weeks then let’s revisit how we’re going to grade or assess his performances.
    • As a bit of counterpoint, if he wanted to continue his professional career then handling it like a mature adult was the only option. Dude had been playing like absolute ass and needed to own it. It's great that he did but it's not like he didn't have a large amount of self interest in doing so. Not picking on Bryce specifically here, as this applies to any player or even anyone struggling early in their career. And he still has a long way to go, but signs are positive.
    • I agree he could still develop, but I think that could still be developed in practice. Just after a scary injury like that, I'm nervous to see him get reps in a live game situation when the best possible outcome is nothing more than worsening our draft selection. That said, I'm 100% not a doctor, so if he's clear to play, he wants to play, and there's no potential of aggravating this injury (which by all accounts it doesn't seem that is the case for this type of injury) then go for it, I guess.   But you hit the nail on the head. This draft class is really impressive. I can't remember the last time I was so impressed with a rookie that I'd actually prefer shutting him down. His game is so apparent that he doesn't need to prove anything at this point. Can't remember the last time that happened!
