Didn’t get to watch the game. Curious as to who played along the OL, left to right?
 
Not OL but does anyone else wonder why we call bubble screens & sweeps with our smallest receivers as blockers to that side?

Our WR's haven't been great blockers for quite some time but at least put some guys with decent size out there rather than cooks, turpin & CD when you run those plays.
 
Less than 2 yards per carry, couldn't run out the clock in the 4th qtr. At least rush wasn't running for his life.
 
Granted it was an extremely tough matchup, but Brock Hoffman looked like he didn't belong in the league as a starter last night. How he rebounds in another tough game this week will be interesting to see. Hes a guy with a lot on the line these last two games.
 
Guyton was in for a spell and looked like a turnstile…..
I think they actually actively rotated them. It seems that we've been trying to go to that this second half of the season instead of just putting him out there for full games and letting him learn on the job. I'm not a fan of playing Edoga, but without Richards, I guess that's the option if we want to go more slowly with Guyton. Frankly, I'd prefer for them to give Waletzko a shot at it. Edoga is a free agent next year and may opt to not come back on another cheap deal.
 
Off line struggled mightily in running game. Edoga and Guyton both missed early blocks on plays that would have thrived.
That was one of the top run-stopping defenses, though, so it's more understandable. The pass protection held up well, but Tampa is not a great pass rushing team. The Eagles will be a good test for the line next week.

Hoffman is a feisty player who gets by on that and knowing what he's supposed to do. He's generally going to be physically overmatched, especially against someone like Vea. It'll be interesting next preseason if we keep Tyler Smith at left guard how we handle right guard. Hoffman is getting the snaps there this season over Bass, but will we have them compete for the spot next year. Might even throw in Richards.

He was beaten badly by Kancey, who also looks like a good DT. Hoffman had a bad night but it was still one night.

I liked Kancey and wanted to draft him. Hoffman had some bad plays, but I wouldn't call it a bad night. He and the others protected Rush well enough for his best game. We couldn't get the run game going, but it wasn't just Hoffman who struggled there.
 
They all had plays where they looked bad. But they were playing against a very good DL. Vea is a grown man.
There was one replay in particular that had me rewinding repeatedly. Tyler Smith was matched-up one-on-one with Vea and Smith flat-out stoned him. Vea did nothing.

It was quite a feat as it doesn’t happen to Vea too often.
 
We got owned physically. And it was not just Vea as all the excuse makers are trying to say
