Slowly but surely it is really beginning to look good. Our offense is really starting to click.

The running game is already there, but the passing game is still holding us back.

The offensive line needs to improve, owens needs to improve, witten needs to improve, but more importantly bledsoe needs to improve drastically.

If he starts playing like he did early last year, this team is likely going to the super bowl. If he continues the way he is, we'll be lucky to make the playoffs.

Another thought is we really need to start playing the pass better. Obviously Zimmer is letting teams pick their poison, and they're giving up rinky dink passes, but I think they need to clamp down on the passing offenses. And I think the key to doing that is the front 3 getting more pressure.

We need these players to step up for us, and soon for us to be truly dominant this year.

#1 Drew Bledsoe
#2 DeMarcus Ware
#3 Marcus Spears
#4 Chris Canty

Offensive Line....Offensive Line.....Offensive Line

We started the season with an OL that had large question marks. It had many new faces and had not really worked together as a unit because the coaches rotated players a lot in training camp and pre-season.

So far we have seen an OL still trying to find itself. Poor performances on the road with some false start penalties mixed in. Good run blocking mixed with pass protection that sometimes was flat nonexistent. An inability to put two good halves together.

I've been patient with this unit because they had not worked together as a group but we have reached the point where they must step up. The critical stetch of the season with a home game against a key division opponent (hitting their stride if the beat us) followed by the long road stretch is upon us. We will not limit the Giants to six points and must protect Bledsoe to succeed. This unit has had some time to work together. Flo has had time to play back into shape. They seem reasonably healthy. The time is now for this OL.

please give it a rest with the OL. they're not that bad... you're not going to have 5 probowlers there. they are made to look inept at times and much worse than their potential due to our QB.

Um..... the offense is together. It is WAY together. The problem with this team is defensive consistency. Once that comes together, the team is basically unstoppable.

Not really. Too many turnovers has cost us games. Not being able to sustain drives.

That cost us the Jax game.

Terrible FS play cost us in Philly. And the turnover from McBriar, which doesn't really count as offense.

I see the offensive line playing great in all aspects except blitz recognition. They are run blocking great and for the most part as long as they don't see complexed blitzing they pass block quite well.
