Why does the oline get blowed up every week?

[dalsyk]

What is with these guys? Is it poor players or technique or coaching? Every team we play our guys are getting knocked to the ground, usually on their butt. Every defense looks like all-pros, so what are we doing wrong?

 

[NickZepp]

No Flozell Adams.

 

[Jimz31]

They aren't being coached, IMO.

Other teams can have problems on their o-line, but they don't have the problems that we do.

Either that, or a VERY BAD job of drafting and bringing o-linemen in.

Is it poor players or technique or coaching?

All of the above coupled with a coach that lost his eye for O-Line talent.

 

[MaineBoy]

dont forget that the Oline is being coached by a coach who last year was

 

[MaineBoy]

coaching tight ends

 

[Future]

how bout the fact that they suck bawls

 

[NovaCowboy]

Rivera was a poor signing, LA is done, Pettite despite everyone willing him to succeed isnt all that, Flo eve when he is here is an underachiever and Johnson/Gurode at center is a joke.

Theres not one spot on the line that I'd bring back next season, not one.

we have a winner

That is what I see but thought I was being too harsh. It appears they all suck

LA and Flo are both very good, we are set on the left side at least for next year

 

[Da Hammer]

who bout because they are just plain pathetic blockers both running and passing, now this makes me feel even more sorry for the Texans, who might be the only team with a worse O-line

Bad line and everyone in the world knows exactly where Bledsoe is going to be every play. Bad combination.

Larry Allen is not good and has not been all year. Allen sucks at anything that is not a straight on maul he misses a lot as a pulling guard he falls down off balance a lot trying to get to the next level he mis reads lb and they fill the area he just left to kill the running game but allen is good.

Allen needs to be cut before Tucker he makes way to much money to play the way he has this year

 

[Da Hammer]

We need to draft or sign a stud Center. Johnson just gets manhandled on just bout every play

 

[rgcowboys]

That is bull crap we are set on the left side. Larry allen is old its time to move on. We need a new o-line coach because Tony Sparano just aint doing it. As for Adams we dont know how he will be when he returns. Allen should be a back up if he doesn't retire. We need atleast 3 new starters if not 4 or 5. If you cant block 3 or 4 guys with 5 blockers you wont win alot of games.

 

[joe_cowboy]

I think coaching is huge a this position. They seem to have talent, but I think the coaching is horrid. Not saying they can't get better talent. Also, I think that they lost confidence.

Next year they have to draft 3 linemen with the first 3 picks and sign 2 good linemen period!

The answer is simple. THEY SUCK!!!!!

 

[canters]

We just don't have enough NFL quality starters.

LA is our best and he is spotty and moody. Marco is just average and can't seem to get on the same page with Al and Rob.

Al is not ready to be a starter. Rob may or may not ever be a quality starter. He IS a rookie. Tucker was not drafted.

Someone is responsible for this, but we just don't have enough players that can compete at this level.

Julius Peppers is licking his chops right now.
