Whuzzup with the oline? Looney at RG?

[Floatyworm]

Steele was benched. Martin went to RT and Looney went to RG. Biadisz was at center. A change that would have never happened under Garrett. Kudos for the change.

Biadasz is a stud....I can't believe he's been on the bench and can't beat out Looney. Coaching staff keeps saying how they like to gamble...yet won't take a chance on a rookie w/ high upside. Looney was awful....Conner Williams...awful again. Martin actually looked interested in playing football once again....finally...playing tackle. I'm not sure I wouldn't leave him there. Makes you wonder what else we got laying around on the bench that is going to waste.

Isn't Collins eligible for next week? Thought he had a 3 game IR.

sounds like he won't be ready.

 

[MikeB80]

They need to leave it like that and move Collins to LG when he's in shape. Williams is a train wreck.

I imagine a real option in a few weeks will be knight starting at left guard and looney being a backup again.

 

[ConstantReboot]

Thanks.

The little I watched of Biadasz was encouraging. That we could have a drive at all with Martin at RT, and the oline Knight, Williams, Biadasz, and Looney is impressive.

Of the last 4, Williams looks the worst to me. Get Tyron and Collins healthy, move Knight to LG, Williams can fight Biadasz as our 1st interior backup. Or maybe Williams can fight Looney for 1st interior backup and let Biadasz play C.

Conner has to go. He is not even dependable as a backup.

reason doesn't matter? What?

If tyron smith is ready to play next week knight will play right tackle.

Smith-Williams-Biadazz-Looney-Martin is the better lineup

I like any combination that doesn't include Connor Williams

Looney is just out of shape...and can't finish. The Dak pick was on him. He was just out of gas @ the end.

Replace Williams with literally anyone and I'm in.

so you are going to sit the expensive right tackle and play an all pro guard at tackle in his place while making right guard bad in looney.

the previous staff didnt even consider Looney at guard because he was so bad at guard. Looney is not going to start here at guard.

I want to add that Conner Williams was mauled to death this game. He just doesn't have the power to stop a bullrush.

I did like Connor Williams but I expected a lot more out of him today. He did get bullrushed and tossed around at critical moments today.

 

[Oz-of-Cowboy-Country]

Exactly! Garrett would have just clapped and called it a learning process.

We can win with Knight, but when we have to roll with Knight and Steele, we are in trouble. Need to get Smith and Collins back.
I am curious to see how Biadisz played. Maybe when Smith and Collins are back, he can push Looney to the bench or LG.

I'd rather McGovern at LG over both Williams and Looney. And I haven't even seen McGovern play yet.

If he can play, I am all for it. Makes you wonder though. It's not like Williams is tearing it up, and they could have opted to install him at RG when they moved Martin to RT.

Sounds like Steele was just getting beat badly, and they decided to make some changes. If he was hurt, I sure didnt hear about it during the game.

But was Steele getting beaten so much? I don't remember that. I tend toward thinking that the IV was a health issue that kept him out.

The backup olinemen are a clear bright spot for the team.

Yeah they don't seem that interested in giving McGovern a chance. Doesn't mean he stinks, though. I'm pretty iffy on the oline coach's decisions this year.

 

[jblaze2004]

i would keep it like that if collins can't make it back. We actually moved the ball but looney looked terrible that last play of the game.

 

[buybuydandavis]

I wonder if he just didn't get enough time with a moderately healthy knee to prepare for the season. I think he was clearly better last year.

I was screaming when they brought Looney back in after he went out on the cart. Watched him two plays. Seemed clearly hobbled.

I'll cut him slack for all play after they brought him back.

hats off to this staff trying to find combinations that work instead of the garrett no adjustments method.

No need to pay Leary or anything, we're fine.
