I think that's one of the more frustrating things about the current regime for me. Our GM is a former OL so you'd think he would understand the importance of solidifying at least that trench, if not the DL too. And, while he's made moves to do that, it's not quite the commitment I expected and, obviously, it hasn't panned out.

The OL would have been a very good unit IMO if it ever got to play together for an extended period of time.

Easy to condemn, however the OL this season is NOT what was planned. Only 2 of the intended 5 starters have played so far where they were supposed to play and now 1 of those is on IR.

Nate Davis is was gone for over a month due to a family crisis
Jenkins got IR'd
Patrick got hurt (was intended to be a backup)
Whitehair got moved last minute
Kramer got IR'd
Now Brax is IR'd

The unit has been in flux practically since TC started.

I agree completely and not to mention the this crap line has managed to give Fields average 4.6 sec to throw. I think the O Line has done a great job with what little they have as a cohesive unit.

Plain and simple the Coaches have to learn to make these plays work for the skillset of the players. We seem to have to say this every coach change. Damn it almost sounds like an eclipse schedule lol.

It has not worked since the middle of Lovie's tenure. Quote Select Post Deselect Post Link to Post Back to Top

So much draft capital and fa money to have one of the worst defenses since the Trestman era Quote Select Post Deselect Post Link to Post Back to Top
