Oline Love

[Fox007]

I think our Oline played well considering the shambles it is in.

 

They opened holes for DWill and NO FALSE START PENALTIES!

 

When is the last time the Line had no false starts?

 

They had 1 penalty for a holding I believe...but not too bad.

Eli Manning sucks ass

I agree, O Line did a really good job. I personally love what Shula is doing with the play calling. We wore Seattle down, DeAngelo just has to hold on to the ball, which I'm sure he will going forward.

Shula's play calling was very vanilla. Looks a lot like foxball if you ask me. Say good bye to the big play.

It was unexpected, but a welcome surprise.

We better be looking for some damn depth this week though...

[Fox007]

I'm just saying fellas...when is the last time no false starts :)

 

Considering how pitiful they look on paper...

[Keith Moons Liver]

It's pretty terrifying to me that the line played passably well and our offense was still atrocious. What happens when they slip up?

I think Shula's simplification of the offense has cut down on a lot of penalties. Remember how many illegal formation, illegal motion, illegal procedure penalties we had under Chud?

Kalil being back is immeasurable as well.

Best thread of the day. I was pleasantly surprised by our OLine. Pie to you sir

O-Line was solid for what they had to work with..... D-Line was lights out..... if we had a clear issue it was our weak secondary. Josh Thomas burned on two straight plays..... Every time our D-Line put pressure on Wilson he found an open receiver. I hope this is something we address next draft early.

I really think Scott has earned a starting job...I've never seen him mess up on a play yet. Sure he had that holding call, but I don't know if I'd even put that on him...that was a weird protection call. They had him pull all the way across the line to block the rusher coming off the opposite edge (I think the announcer called it a "Molly" protection or something?) which is asking a lot of a man his size. It's not his fault he lacked the speed to get there in time, so he had to compensate by holding the defender which was only for a split second anyways...it didn't seem blatant to me by any means.

Now that G-Will is bound to miss some time, I think that paves the way for Amini back at LG and hopefully Scott at RG. Then I actually feel pretty good about our OG depth with Wharton and Byers...never thought I'd say that...

Two starting guards out and they still kept Newton mostly upright and gave Williams room to run.

 

The one caveat to that: Dorsey and Shula are pretty clearly coaching their QBs to get rid of the ball as quickly as possible.  Wise decision behind a banged up OL, but minimizes my OL praise a little.

Line still did what they are asked to do.

 

We should be able to push the ball down field on quick passes....look at Cruz last night for example.

 

Some of that would take anticipation and trust...which may not be there yet with the WRs
