Is Wade the problem? Thinking about the O-line

Injuries are the problem.. Wade was AWFUL yesterday but hasn't looked bad the rest of the games he's played.. I think missing Thomas has the biggest impact on the OL then Jansen. I thought Jansen was definitely on the downside of his career so it wasn't really a huge dropoff..

Good Post. Thomas is a leader and makes people around him play better. He made wade better against Philly and the Saints (last year). He is the gel to the line and plays with a nasty streak. I just hope he gets back for the stretch run. I honestly think we will be in the playoffs so getting him back could be HUGE.

Don't really agree with the Jansen quote though. I still think he is in the better half of tackles in this league, not as good as he once was though.

Um. Wade got ABUSED by Kampman @ Green Bay. Wade is AWFUL. Jansen on crutches would be better.

Wonder if the coaches will make the move here. I know they are very into Heyer, and they can't have missed Wade's poor play, with their franchise QB getting blind-sided on a number of plays where wade was in straight one-on-one pass coverage (allegedly his strong point!)--it happened against AZ as well. I'm not saying Heyer is some great upgrade, but I think Wade is hurting us badly.

And I agree about the attitude thing, though that's not a big point. They say he prepares well, but out on the field, he seems to lose focus at killer times.

wade is alright not great. Kampman abuses everybody that guys good. Honestly i remember seller getting beat a bunch on some of those plays.
he is a great run blocker but terrible pass blocker. Can anyone confirm how many plays were Wades fault?
