There's no excuse for not going to the Shotgun

On nearly every passing down the rest of the way - We have 2 inept tackles to say the least and a fat center who couldn't block me...

Ok that post is uncalled for first of all, and theres a thread about it already. Al Johson is not exactly "fat" he could stand to gain some pounds, and hes doing a solid job.

Al does need to add some weight and strength. And as for the solid job he's doing, well, I don't see it. The center position along with the 2 OT's is killing our offense.

I agree with the two OT's killing our offense but not Al. Hes the one making blitz pickup calls, calling out the fronts, etc. Hes not playing as bad as you want him to be...

Oh he's great at making the correct calls and I don't want him to play bad. Thats silly, I'm a Boyz fan. I'm just tired of seeing him get pushed around. He stays in our backfield more then Bledsoe. Making the right calls is one thing but making the block is another. He's not BIG, STRONG, or AGGRESSIVE enough for me. He's very smart though...

Yeah, thats what I like about him man, id much rather someone who can let the rest of the line know whats coming, and give us a chance to pick it up rather than someone who has no clue. And Al doesn't exactly blow anyone off the ball, but he gives 100% effort, and thats usually enough to get us by. The problems lies with the OT's and our guard who might be the most talented lineman in the league but doesnt give the effort like it every play.

I don't know, after all the fumbles between him and Bledsoe this year I bet Parcells just plain out doesn't trust the guy to beable to work out of shotgun. And I'm talking about Al, not Drew.

AJ is one of the first players replaced this offseason I believe. Trust in a players abilities is everything to Bill. I wouldn't be surprised if he's the one giving off the "cue" that these defenses have been picking up on so much the last few weeks. If you ask me it's coming from the center area of that line. Highly doubt it's Rivera or Larry.
