Time for the Jets

[Southtown15]

I know the offensive line is missing two starters but can our offense be anymore boring? Im not just saying this because we got shalacked but other than Detriot what other game have we excelled on the offensive side of the ball? Were are our two running backs that some thought were the best tandem in the league? When do we start to point fingers at the coaches? Joe, Al?

The more I think about it. Our best asset last year was Randy Thomas pulling behind Dockery and Samuels, or Dockery pulling behind Thomas and Jansen. I don't fault Kendall, he is playing well, but they don't pull him because our right side is so banged up. If somehow Thomas makes it back you will see a strong Oline once again. I don't like Wade starting but he will play better next to Thomas. Thomas should have been in the last few pro bowls and his loss is killing the teams identity. I'm not making excuses but It is apparent his loss means a whole lot and we need to step it up with him gone.

Good post--I think this is a big deal. The loss of Thomas compounds the loss of Dockery--not because Dock was so great, but because Kendall can't run block that way. Thomas could pick up the slack by pulling--he's one of the best pulling guards around--but Fabini certainly can't. Look, without an offensive line that can dominate the line of scrimmage, it's hard to do anything on offense, as we've seen.

But whatever--we've got a winnable game (no gimme, though) that we have to find some way or other to take. The season depends on it, IMO.
