O Line

Seems to me like the O-Line tends to get tired and lazy when needed the most. Week in and week out they give up the big play to the other team. Not sure if Gibbs is going away from max protect or if the guys up front just don't have it in them to close out a game. I tend to watch the games more then once (for fun) but I notice Portis has to bounce and make his own plays most of the time. The D-line on the other hand is a walking nightmare. I could stand back there and throw the ball on this line.


P.S.
The thought of LA coming at me would make me crap my pants.

It's difficult for me to understand how you can max protect, run two man pass routes, and expect to get receivers open. Teams have been giving us trouble just rushing their front four, and at that rate you have seven other players to cover up two receivers, The odds just dosen't seem to be in our favor. That's why our QB has to hold the ball so long because usually there's no one open.

We should at least release Robert Royal and send him out on a pass pattern. Its not like he tries to block anyone anyways.

dockery has got to go. he just doen't seem to br progressing and he's too reactionary and not enough of a dictator.

i agree i dont know where this O line thing is coming from i really didnt see that much pressure....

With Patten out, max protect doesn't work. Moss gets double and triple covered, and Brunell is forced to look elsewhere. The problem is Brunell is too comfortable with Moss, and has a hard time checking down. That, and his checkdown, Cooley, is starting to see more coverage as well. The guys who need to step it up now are Thrash and Jacobs. They both have decent speed to stretch the field.

The O-Line is doing a good job this year. Dockery is the weak link, but his potential far outweights the mistakes thus far. The entire line can't be all-pros.

The D-Line wasn't built to be a pressure line, and not having Griffin (the only pressure threat) is hurting them. Wynn and Daniels are solid guys, just not great pass rushers.

I agree with this thread.

The #1 thing that stands out for me is the difference in pressure coming from both teams' front 4. Every play there's a guy in Brunell's face, and on the flip side, we send the house and get ZERO pressure. It's really starting to catch up with us.

We all know our D line is below average especially generating a pass rush, but I'm more disappointed in our O-line. This is supposed to be the strength of this team and they are inconsistent at best. Not even sure who the culprit is, seems like a different guy getting burned every week.

wait a minute the last sack was jansen getting smoked by a linebacker.. number 56..

wait a minute the last sack was jansen getting smoked by a linebacker.. number 56..jansen has been giving up a couple lately, he will come around or i'll send my boys to break his thumbs

i am sure he will come around the skins are just inconsistant lately one week the defense dont show up the next week the offense dont show up..
