The Offensive Line

ChowMeinChad said:
I've been saying this as well. We cannot win a game with a vertical passing game with the QB's we have. RG3 maybe but the line does not work for vert passing. The only chance we have is a ball control offense where we limit our defense. Running will not stop the blitz though. Screens and TE's in the center of the field wide open will though. Forget chucking the ball +20 yards down field. We don't have the players to make this effective.

Running the ball will keep a Defense honest when they have to honor run plays and ya hit 'em with a play action fake. That is another way to slow the pass rush and generally make defenders hesitate just a second and a QB can possibly diagnose the coverage quicker.
 
JD, you are right in a traditional sense that running keeps the D honest. But it depends on the team your playing. Teams like Pittsburgh & Baltimore are blitzing on running downs. Probably much more common in a 3-4 D. They just hope someone will tackle the running back on the way to the QB.

Yeah! What teams are doing is run blitzing us to the QB and stunting those blitzes over Center.

Scam is lost and then our offense turns to shit. :turd:

I honestly don't think I can say I've seen a worse player than Cam Erving, and the fact he really hasn't shown any improvement at all is frankly bizarre. Even the greatest busts showed some form of improvement, but Cam is just consistently terrible. Ya'll remember how woefully bad O'Neil Cousins was? He might legitimately be 3x as good as Cam is.
 
Borrowing from another thread, love the idea of this O line after the break:

LT - Thomas
LG - Drango
C - Ghoolie's billionaire sister, Lumberg's unemployed brother, Ramrod himself ... or Cam
RG - Pasztor
RT - Coleman

Let's roll with these guys and see what they've got, although I'm really worried about Coleman's foot speed.

The problem with the OL also has a ton to do with the QB's behind it right now. McCown/RGIII are both KNOWN as QB's that hold onto the ball way to damn long...and Kessler has been doing it too.

The O line is terrible period... It wouldn't matter who was at QB. Too many plays where the D linemen were barely touched, and on McCown before he could even throw it away.
 
And the 7th overall pick from the 2013 draft is the new starting guard, and Drango demoted?

So what's the deal with Garth Gerhart? He was a decent backup center in training camp we cut him and he appears to be a F/A. I don't understand how a guy is in training camp all spring and we don't call them back when injuries or circumstance should call them back to the team. He was a late cut after all...
