I think we can all agree that yesterday we looked like a bunch of amateurs. The o-line at the end of the game was laughable. JZ didn't help the matter out at all.
If i was sitting at home cringing as Geisinger lined up accross from Suggs, why wouldn't a NFL head coach cringe as well? Ugly.
How about the fact that we didn't give Geisinger any help whatsoever against Suggs? You take a young, backup guard/center and stick him at LT against Terrel friggin Suggs and leave him on an island? Suggs put on a clinic. Horrible coaching move not to bring a TE to that side to help.

Yea, that's what I'm eluding to. No RB chip, X TE help, nothing.

Special Teams: Really? Another missed FG, a blocked punt...
Every week we have at least a couple of big special teams mistakes. It's downright inexcusable. Under Gibbs, teams was very solid. We've plummeted in one short season. Why??
I'll use my Florida Gators as an example- they put a HUGE premium on special teams, to the point that Urban Meyer is actually the special teams coach. ST guys get first in line at team meals. Team captains play on ST. Starters beg to be on coverage units. Urban is maniacal is his approach to teams. And the result? Top to bottom maybe the best overall units in the country.
I'm not suggesting Zorn take over special teams, but shit's gotta change.

I thought Zorn said he had given Geisinger some help (though I didn't see it myself). Geisinger, who actually has been in the league for four years now, is probably ultimately going to be a C by default. He was an LT in college (I believe), but he just doesn't have the right skill set to protect the blindside.
The blocked punts are on Plankenweiner. He is too slow once gets the ball.
