I love it because, to me, if it's even close you should go with the younger, hungrier, harder-playing and more disciplined guy over the more talented but lazy guy with repeated off field issues.

Absolutely. Collins has the pedigree but how many games has he actually played? Steele is a better fit for the team, a killer run blocker, and deserves to start

The OL was good today. Pollard ran well, and there was protection for Dak. Steele did really well Va Crosby. The guy that sucked was Zeke.
Yep, other than the 3 penalties on Biadasz and the killer one on Smith. The OL was definitely not on the list of problems in the game.

They really need to get this offensive line figured out in a hurry, this turnstile theory they were using yesterday moving players in and out per series was ridiculous, almost reminded me of the Tom Landry days swapping out quarterbacks ever play....

Have they give any explanation for doing that? I'm surprised it hasn't been brought up more

This team has effectively made Zeke a pass blocker for Dak since 2019 onwards.

The only thing we can praise him for in this stretch of losing, is his blocking and immaculate timing to pick up the blitzer.

Zeke needs more rushes.

less than 10 a game won’t work.

The OL was a shyte show and MM strategy of rotating RT and LG was incompetent in the extreme.

The OL merry-go-round has been a disaster and directly responsible for the 3 recent losses.

Steele is the backup RT.

Lael is the more talented RT and should start.

Williams should start at LG.

McGovern is the backup LG and RG but should start at FB/TE and is integral to the JUMBO package.

Nsehke is the backup LT.
I will take Williams 2 holding penalties per game, if we can get back our previous rushing and passing attack

any thoughts on 2nd year Steele replacing Lael Collins at RT ?

Thats a clear sign that the OL coaches have been disappointed with vet Collins return to RT role
such that they preferred Steele starting over Collins.

- Collins worked his way into shape to be in the Bucs game one , while still recovering from hip surgery .. but he has been subpar and lacking since returning from suspension .

- He may be type that really needs to play himself back into game shape - and only way to play ..not seat the bench. He's supposed to be vastly more talented and effective than Steele.

- Collins was in and out on those insanely whatever the hell rotations the coaches decided to do in-game with both RT and LG but for better part of the 4th Quarter ..it was all Steele.

- That tends to send a message imo .. and could this be the end of Collins starting remaining of this season ? .. if not the future ?

Yah Collins was a total bomb when he came back. Just goes to show how horrid our Oline was the last few games. We basically replaced 3 starters with ineffective backups. They couldnt block anyone last week.

Insane rotation? Collins and Williams played 3 snaps each. Pay attention

I think LC gets traded to free up cap space. He won't be the only one gone due to his contract, but they have to get the most out of a cheap Terrance Steele contract.

LC can be the new jumbo FB tho...that should be fun.

zeke needs to be gone in the off season

Now I know who to ignore.

Zeke has knee and calf issue right now.

And before that he was top 4 RB in NFL.

Your lack of IQ is evident, push your fake agenda somewhere else.
