Ill go 1 step further..

Zeke looked better when Ron Leary was in the lineup and not Collins.

Ron Leary was an unbelievable run blocker and imo was better than Zack Martin at that stage of Martins career at run blocking.
My God. You cant be serious. Martin was an All Pro as a rookie man. You need to stop with ridiculous takes like this.

this. McGovern at this point is no better then Williams and our run game has taken a plunge in production since we stopped using the jumbo package.
They should run I-formation, I would sign a Fullback or move Zeke to fullback on runs. Kellen must have a deep seated hate for old school power football. It's time for that to make a comeback, and they are only a good lead blocker away from having really effective play action threats without cute, gimmicky touch passes and bubble screens. Closest thing I've seen to that was a wildcat play where Pollard lined up behind Zeke like strong I form without the QB under center. If they ran pistol or strong I they could have some nice bootlegs with Shultz or Lamb coming across the field...

People forget the back breaking holding calls Williams was making prior to his benching.

Williams was a giver and a taker... lol Give us some solid blocking and then take it all back with a holding call.

Could be a situation, though, like his rookie year where he came back playing much better than he had been.

I don't really care who the starting five is, but we need to figure out who helps us move the ball the most.

Need to stop getting so cute. Rotations at oline. Pulling guys in and out like a fickle fan would.

Let these guys get some cohesion. They were killing defenses earlier on.

I hope next week's starters and snap time are what they intend on playing until the Playoffs.

Can someone post the PFF grades for these two? I know we have had less penalties at that position, but I would like to see a statistical evaluation of overall performance.

First round....OG.
Second round....C.
Third round....OT.
Fourth round.....LB.
Fourth round....TE.

Think about it. Our secondary next year with Diggs, Joseph, Kearse and Wilson is going to be a solid group. We can address our front seven in free agency because we really don't need much retooling there. And we have WR's in the bullpen ready to make their mark in the world (Simi and Turner). So I think it's time to address the OL in the draft next year and create more competition there.
This is a good take. I do think they have something with Ball though. Also Steele can play. Just never LT.

Needs to be Smith Collins Tyler Martin Steele with the connors in hulk leading the way for pollard. There would be some insanely huge holes created
Or they could ditch the gimmick that telegraphs the run and sign a real fullback.
