Stock UP; Stock DOWN

The sky isn't falling because the offense can't run the ball in pre season. But again, this team probably isn't going to be a good running team. It's just not what they do best. This is and will be a throw first team. I just hope they'll be able to run it a little better than what we've seen so far.

Don't act like this is a new problem that only occurs in the pre-season. I'm not panicking; I just think that when you have a problem for years, you ought to be able to fix it.

Jay Gruden could fix it if he wanted to do so. He simply doesn't emphasize the running game enough and he probably never will. That's just bullshit because other teams have proven that a team can be good at both passing and running.

The best way to fix it isn't through personnel moves. The best way to fix it is through coaches coaching better and players playing better.

Our line and tight ends can run block a lot better than they did the other night. They need to get it together.

Cut some loafing bastard who thinks he's got the team made. That should get everyone else's attention.

Just curious, if we used three point stance for most runs and 2 point for most passes, wouldn't that be a major tell for opposing defenses.

Of course and that was my first thought as well. On empty backfield sets, the O line is always upright. For sets with a player in the backfield that could be run or pass, I havent been watching the O line for whether or not they are in a 2 pt or 3 pt stance. Im just relaying Riggins thought.

the Perine video shows almost always 3 pt stance for plays with a RB in the backfield. Without benefit of 1st unit O line video, Im assuming the 1st unit also goes to 3 pt stance when a player is in the backfield. Riggins thought may have no merit, and he was certainly speculating not saying it with 100% certainty.

Report: Spencer Long undergoes minor knee operation (http://was.247sports.com/Bolt/Report-Spencer-Long-undergoes-minor-knee-operation-106386212)

Chase Roullier...per kiem...this is a great position to evaluate our rookie because he has been "impressive".

Would love to see this turn into the position battle

I would love it because it could mean Long to LG, Roullier to center, and Lauvao to the bench.

Long way to go before we get there. But we drafted Scherff thinking he'd be our RT, and then Moses really came on in his second year. If Roullier did the same thing next summer it would solve an awful lot for us.

In all this talk about O-lineman and starting the best 5.
Ty Nsekhe plays well every time he has had to start. I realize he plays Left Tackle and Trent Williams is the man. But why couldn't try Ty Nsekhe at guard?
He has got to be better than Lauvao.
Lauvao is terrible.

Oh great .. A pass first team built around a QB we can't or won't sign to a long term contract...we won't win 6 games with this thinking. bottom line is as long as This QB circus goes on this will be a comedy show team. The best RB on team is Matt Jones and he fumbled a few too many times and the Team soured on him..too bad because he will be good on another team. every team in league will tee off on the pass so Cousins better be ready or he will get injured..

Moving the rookie into long spot. Good

Never want an injury but I'd prefer Long at LG and Chase at C. Chase hasn't done anything yet but I'm high on him. I think he is our future center.

For Frenchie,

Actually, we'll probably only hear him mentioned by "Holding. Number 73."

Haha, actually IIRC Cooley is doing a pretty good job at pronouncing Roullier's name. But yeah we won't hear his name that much so I'll definitely miss PG ^^
