Offensive Line Observations

[cowboyfan24]

just based on the first 2 drives, all I can say is we better hope there are no injuries on the O-line. The starters are ok, but obviously they have a problem inside the 10 when other teams blitz them up the middle. Either Andre Gurode isn't making the o-line calls correctly or there's a break down from what he's calling and what the others are doing. As I have said about Doug Free for the past few years, he's a decent player and doesn't make mistakes. He can hold his own against most. I'm not sure about how he'll handle the top tier rushers. I think he'll be better than average.
The 2nd team has some problems. It's time to get rid of McQuistan. Brewster didn't look good at all when he was at RT. I haven't seen the rest of the game in slow motion yet. This is his 1st year with any playing time so I'll give him some slack, for now.

Being able to handle Dware is a great thing; but to be fair about it facing the guy in practice constantly you get familiar with his moves and that gives you an edge. Facing a guy you have not practiced against for the first time during a game is another story.

You mean like how he completely dominated Antwan Odom (who had 8 sacks in 6 games last year).....

The weak link on the O-Line is Gurode and Bigg. When teams blitz the middle of the line we really have a hard time adjusting to it. I hope we draft a stud center next year...
