Montgomery gets nod at RG

So, it's Heyer, Dockery, Rabach, Montgomery, and Williams along the O-line? Wow, I feel good about that lineup.

Dock & Rabach are like all pros compared to the others.

Wow. Look at this sentence for 5 seconds and let it sink in.....wow.

Dock & Rabach are like all pros compared to the others.

Dockery is nowhere near as good as people think. He's decent in run blocking, but he's not the mauler he should be given his size. He's also sub-par in pass protection and gets flagged way too much. Rabach is mediocre in both run blocking and pass protection.

Sadly, even with Samuels, our offensive line is among the worst in the NFL. Take a look at the running lanes this Sunday. Portis will get routinely hit in the backfield, guys will get little push, and rarely will you see big lanes. Then watch the Giants game and compare.

Where's Armstrong when you need him?

How soon until Lorenzo Alexander is back on the offensive line?

I wouldn't be suprised if they practiced him at oline...at least that guy's got attitude to mash someone...he is probably better option than Williams at this point...Williams just looks lost out there...Alexander may even perform as well as Montgomery, arguably...
On a good note...I think Heyer can scape by at LT for a week or two.
Give up a sack or two?? of course...but few starting LT's don't do much better than that. We have just been spoiled for so long.
Sure the guy cant mash anyone...but LT is for pass protection.

Does anyone miss Jansen now?
Just think...we tossed him so we could keep our backup interior linemen and Mike Williams...we all liked the idea at the time...but it looks pretty damn stupid right now....unless Montgomery shines and Mike Williams develops into a solid backup...not to mention Heyer establishing himself as a starter better than Jansen....

Odds were that one of these things would happen...not to mention Rhinehart developing...at this point....every single one of those was a miss...
I guess we shall see on Sunday!

Well as a proud graduate of Centreville High School I must say i'm stoked will montgomery is getting the nod ... Go Wildcats !

Where's Armstrong when you need him?

That is what I was thinking. But we had to let him go. Professional elephant wrestling is his first love.

On the bright side, Jared Allen is playing for the Vikes now.

Am I crazy to think that the media and the fans should call out Buges (don't hate me yet, listen to my crazy logic) so one of the following happens:

A.) The FO comes out and in their own screwed up way let everyone know that they've been vetoing Buges and they are solely responsible for creating this mess of a line.

B.) We realize that Buges has lost it and he's partially, if not fully, responsible for the o-line woes.

While there are dozens of things wrong with this team, just as we harp on Stan Hixon and the poor play of the WRs, I think there should be a discussion about the coaching of the offensive line. I have nothing against Buges, but I just can't believe that he would sit idly and let the FO screwed him up badly by not giving him a top offensive line talent in the draft or solid depth through free agency. How many years has the offensive line been an issue? I think a lot of us (me included) believed that Buges could take any 300 lb. body and coach them into a decent lineman. I don't think that's the case....and well if Buges is telling the team that everything is alright, then if there are changes accross the board, the team will need a new o-line coach that will let the team know about their needs.

According to Zorn, they need someone who is practicing the plays to start at RG and since Rhino has a shoulder injury, Montgomery is getting the call.
