Offensive Line

So who do you all think we should get FA wise and Draft wise?

Wow, I didn't know we had line issues and must have missed the 30,000 post on this subject the past 8 months.

Here's some other issues you must of missed while you were in your coma.

1.)Portis has lost a step
2.) JC is not a leader of this team
3.)Vinny drafts terrible players
4.) Snyder should sell the team
5.) Jim Zorn should be fired

I'm sure if you used the search feature that this site has you could come across about 10 threads per issue

Where was Levi Jones today? I thought with the bye it would have been enough time to get him "coached up".

Jason Campbell has been sacked 11 times in the past two games. Mark Rypien was sacked 9 times total in 19 games in '91, culminating with our last Super Bowl victory. It all starts with the offensive line, which Vinny has all but ignored the last two years when our best linemen were getting old. As the original post states, we'll never know whether this staff could have been successful. Bill Belichick would be a loser with this crap protection of the QB. Rule one in the passing game - keep your QB upright so he has a fighting chance to make plays!!!

I thought so to. When Heyer looked like he was hurt he went running on to the field and Heyer waived him back. I have got to say that Mike Williams is the worst RT i have ever seen. I am shocked that they did not bring in Jones to play LT and move Heyer back to RT. Batiste sucks too.

Problem, in my mind, is that by the time the coaches concluded that offensive line was a major deficiency, it was too late to make major corrections to it. We had already spent three second round picks on other parts of the offense the year prior, and had already traded a second rounder for Jason Taylor.

The only thing that could have been done was to take Michael Oher or Alex Mack with the thirteenth overall pick.

But then this thread would be titled "Defensive Line", and there would be a whole lot more Haynesworth bashing.

Piggybacking on what I've just said, you could see the inability of the offensive line to open up holes way back in 2007. Samuels was healthy then, so the pass protection wasn't awful that year, but the point is, you could have seen the end coming, even assuming a healthy Samuels, which would have turned out to be an incorrect assumption.

I think it's long been documented that Vinny feels that lineman are misvalued in the draft and that a good coach will find offensive lineman just off the scrap heap, but even given that assumption, he never really committed to the OL in the late round either. That could have been done in this draft.

He could have pick Duke Robinson in the fifth instead of that idiot LB they drafted.

It looks to me like Mike Williams is back up to 370. Has anyone else noticed his fat ass getting bigger.

Yup. Cody effing Glenn. What a fail that was. I mean, the kid played 9 games at LB his whole college career. 9!! And we drafted him over decent O-linemen. What a joke.
