OL grades week 8

[Smith22]

Guyton: 73.7
Smith: 53.8
Beebe: 77.3
Martin: 54.3
Steele: 49.1

I have given up on Steele at this point, but it sucks seeing the strength of this team (OG) performing terribly when we finally get a very solid performance from our 2 rookies.

Side note: Mazi has graded under 50 7/8 games this season.

 

[Sheepherder]

I have a question to ask. Should they replace 1 or 2 of the players that are struggling. How would you go about doing it to make this o-line better? I mean why are they not even trying?

you've given up on Steele? He's given up on us, time to move on. Put Guyton over at RT, get a LT

You got to try something if it's not working. What they waiting on?

 

[big dog cowboy]

Put Guyton over at RT, get a LT

NO!

 

[Coogiguy03]

NO!

Why not, aren't you tired of taking players from college who play one position and moving them around. Doesn't hurt, put him back at RT see how it goes, if not he's a bust! Move him to guard????? (like we did with Tyler Smith)???

Guyton played better this week. Hopefully that becomes a trend.

Yes Steele and Martin are cooked.

Gotta rebuild the right side of the line.

NBC ran a DT rating during the Cowboy/49er game and Smith was 33 out if 32.

 

[gtb1943]

I just do not believe that Guyton played better than Tyler Smith after watching the game

 

[nate dizzle]

Are Martin's struggles related to how poorly Steele has been? Seems odd for him to have such a huge drop off in his level of play.

Issue is, we have to rebuild the DL as well.

 

[CowboyManDan]

I think it's pretty certain we'll have a new OL coach next year who can hopefully make something of whomever remains.

they spent a first and a third this year, after spending a first last year. they're trying. it's not working

They are not wanting to say it but Martin's back is the problem. You can see the way he is playing versus last year and he is so stiff and has nowhere near the power he had. Frankly if Bass was all that they should be playing him as right now Martin is a liability especially with Steele beside him

 

[beware_d-ware]

Guyton is hanging in there, which is all I want to see from a rookie LT. The tackles that make it usually take big strides in year 2, so I will be looking forward to that.

Martin's poor grade is due imho to his playing next to Steele and a rookie center who has to learn the position.

But one thing is that continuity on an o-line is a big part of its success. They, if they have made up their minds on who plays where, need to keep everybody on the line, and let them "get to know each other". And while Steele isn't great, if Smith and Guyton get to be where then seldom need help on the left side of the line, a tight end can help Steele until they can draft a replacement...

what about Richards can he play? He certainly cant be worse than Steele

One thing that is endemic with the Boys is the refusal to sit a vet and try a new guy

Issue is, we have to rebuild the DL as well.

I would just use the phrase “build” since our DL hasn’t been all around good since the the parcells/wade phillips teams with d ware, Ratliff, etc
