BIGG Davis

[YosemiteSam]

As of right now, I think he is easily the biggest concern on the offensive line.

While I didn't count how many times he got beat yesterday, he did get beat. Most of the times, it's the defender shooting the gap before he even gets out of his stance. The guy has clearly lost a step. He is way to slow and letting guys fire passed him before he can even get his hands up.

The conundrum is the fact that while Holland appears to be much better at protecting against that, (and pass protection in general) it's blocking in space that that Holland has big troubles with. (not that I haven't seen BIGG completely whiff more than once.)

You clearly can't keep subbing one out for another in those cases as it would only dictate what you're going to do.

At this point, I'm beginning to think they need to just sit BIGG. The guy is struggling BIGG time with defensive players that are quick off the ball. I think you have to play your most solid players and BIGG just isn't a solid player anymore.

Maybe he needs to cut a few pounds or something. He has lots all his quickness.

...this was covered in "Base Weak" last week...he makes Gurode's job a lot harder because he knows that when teams isolate Davis he will have trouble defending the A-gap from mayhem if the defender gets inside of Davis...its a free run at the quarterback and avenue for a potential LB blitz...if you could only change out one line player it would probably be him...next year he will likely be slower...teams know him and will exploit him with their quickest players...

We need to invest in the oline this offseason so in other words don't expect it to happen.

 

[DOUBLE WING]

Everyone is a concern. Even Free. Our line just stinks. But yeah, Davis needs to be gone in the offseason.

 

[CATCH17]

Yesterday was a good matchup for him.

Basically a man on man attack that the Vikings use.

It's the twisting and stunting that gets him.

He doesn't keep his head on a swivel and he's got dead feet.

With Kosier going down...again...I doubt they sit Bigg again.

Kosier going down is a two fold problem as he was the back up center as well as the starting OG.

So now you got Bigg staying in, Holland replacing Kosier instead of possibly replacing Bigg and we better hope Gurode does not get hurt enough to take him out of the games.

Let's bench him and start Brewster. Oh wait....
