The line is quite offensive right now

Ive been with JC for 4 years and he has not improved. The Oline we knew about last season and nothing was done. There is no way we give JC an extention, even when he has time in the pocket, he cannot make a play or it too scared to throw the ball. He has shown no leadership skills and no ability to make guys around him better. BYE BYE JC!! Like it or not he is gone, you seriously think Snyder is giving him mo money? I completely agree with building the Oline, I have been screaming it since last year. We need 3 new starters, get one through FA and try to get couple in the draft first and second rounds. Im saying F Snead and Bradford now. Kolb would be a thought. I would support Hasselbeck coming in here for a couple years over JC.

We might not have to give him a new deal for another season. With an uncapped year he won't become a UFA until year 5, same with Rogers.

Until you beat the blitz, they are going to keep on coming. JC had a great blitz pickup throw down the middle to ARE in the 2nd half. Those are the things we've got to do to stop teams from blitzing.

You beat the blitz with the run and screen passes. The problem is, this team has apparently forgotten how to run a screen, and I think they're worse at run blocking than they are at pass blocking at this point. Against teams with a good pass rush(which is basically every team left on the schedule), 50-80 rushing yards and 5+ sacks a game is going to be a pretty common occurance.

The play of the OL so far this season has made just about every member of this board look like the finest GM's in the NFL. Everyone here, for quite some time now have been clamoring for O-lineman, our pleas have fallen on death ears, and what we're seeing now is the result of that negligence.

Right now, it is what it is, there's no help available until we're in better position to address the need.

Did you hear C. CArter last night on espn? He said that Snyder's actions reflect poorly on the whole nfl, because when fans see a team run this way, they start to believe that they can make decisions better than the people running the team. Your post totally supports what he said. I can't disagree w/it.

Fingers crossed that Levi Jones can prove to be a good stop gap LT that can be a solid starter for 2-3 years at the least. We should know by the end of the year whether LT is a need or not. Dockery will likely be back at LG and I don't have a problem with that.

So that leaves center and the right side of the line. Is it possible to get 3 new starters in here or am I dreaming?
I think that with a good RT we'll be okay with Rinehart or possibly Williams. If Jones can handle LT, Dock comes back, I see the 2 biggest needs at C and RT.

I think out of last year's draft only Mack and the kid in Buffalo have started at C.. Luigs has gotten some play though, but for the most part other than 1st round C's, you don't see a lot of rookies starting. That means we've gotta find what we want in Edwin Williams or find someone that can hold it down for at least a couple of years similar to what we'll need Levi Jones for. I think this year would be the one to pick the best tackle at under the assumption that he's starting at RT, if not LT. LT might actually be advantageous since he'd be working with a decent G in Dockery, unless we can find something similar at RG to compliment whoever it was.

But yeah, we NEED 2, 3 would be very nice.

We are the laughingstock of the NFL right now... we're being mocked, snickered at, etc for so many things that we're failing at. A lot of the time they'll be like this team is just playing horribly this year... for us it's the "oh I guess THAT'S the playcalling" or whatever and they get a nice little laugh out of it. The difference isn't that the media hates us, it's that they know that our organization has brought it upon ourselves with all of these ridiculous moves. I wonder how many of the guys know our contract situations, because that's something that we hardly ever hear about until draft-preseason time... if they knew the money that we had locked up into some of these guys it'd be insane

We're going to at least have to give him some new legs then, option for a wheelchair.

The line is bad and everyone knows it. Someone needs to take the fall for putting Williams on the roster. Also where is Rinehart?????? But part of the problem is Campbell. He's been doing this all year.....when he steps up in the pocket he keeps moving forward. He doesn't stop and re set his feet. He steps right up in the backs of the guys that are blocking for him. Yes the line sucks but JC sure isn't helping them.

This line has it's problems across the board, but in all fairness to Williams I think he's played fairly well the last two weeks at R/T. The real problem areas on the line right now are at C/RG/LT. I've had my nocks trained on the RT for the last two weeks since Williams has been inserted, he is not the problem.

Wow, I am simply amazed at how piss poor the OL is. At this point it doesn't matter who is behind center, I'm frankly worried for JC right now. If this keeps up he's not going to last too much longer. He's shell shocked at this point.

Why not get Pete Kendall in here and plug him in at RG, or move Dockery and put Kendall at LG?? Can it really hurt at this point? Also, Levi Jones needs to get coached up and be starting at LT after the bye, no excuses. Heyer is just pathetic at LT and merely serviceable at RT.

Looking ahead to next year the potential free agents are here, but that list could look much different with no cap as 4 year free agents will suddenly not be available until after year 5.

2010 NFL Free Agents: OL (http://www.footballsfuture.com/2010/fa/ol.html)

Whoever is calling the personnel shots next offseason better have the OL as priorities #1, #2, and #3.


Get Jared Gaither.




(I actually have him on my Madden franchise with the Skins)

we definitely need a center and a couple of tackles. i really think rinehart or montgomery could be ok down the line, especially rinehart. montgomery is a good backup to have. i think we should take a chance on a guy like max hall from byu in the later rounds. only major problem here is there are no good free agent qbs besides kyle orton, so that really limits us to the draft in a very weak qb class at the very top.

I wonder how bad JC's ankle is he was limping pretty bad? OL is top priority in the offseason and we need them to come from the draft not FA get younger there then worries about the QB.


Yeah, he was getting downright abused all night, luckily there is a Bye week. He had to have it taped up in the first half and played fairly well with it for the rest of the game, so I'm not worried.
