We need new tires.
I understand everything said about zorn and campbell and will not be sad if snyder releases them but we all have to admit that that is just a song and dance. a song that we all know and a dance that is all too firmiliar.
this is not rocket science, its football. do the research. no team has ever won a super bowl with either a bad defense, or a bad offensive line. we have the defense covered...
i will not back down form our core problem, the o line, and i know its becoming cliche. even the td pass to portis was jc running for his life after EVERYONE on the oline got beat except rabauch who was trying to block 2.
jc had no time, no developing plays were called, portis is a blocker, cooley is a blocker, davis becomes a reciever, portis get tackled for a safety, portis avg 3 yd/carry, and sellars taking on free rushers well behind the line, are all a product of a totally worthless oline.
if we dont sign 2 olinemen this week, snyderatto is taking a dive on this season.
I hate to say it, but I don't think imports, no matter their quality (and finding two quality players that aren't on a roster will be tough), will be able to play effectively without a fair amount of practice to get a feel for the whole line's dynamic. Of course talent is important, but what little I know about o-lines tells me that effectiveness depends on knowing what the man to your right and the man to your left are going to do. Maybe I'm wrong - can you think of examples of successful linemen acquisitions during the season?
ReplyDeletei agree but it would be better than the current alternative. i would rather have an experianced linemen learn our system. i doubt basiste and williams have much of a working relationship with the starters in comparison. experience also shortens the learning curve.
ReplyDeleteeither way, its a bad bad spot we re in.
