I am venting on randy thomas

[firstdown]

Bugs said in preseason that our line looked very strong and was blowing guys off the ball. I guess he was watching our O line blowing our D line off the ball so it all now makes good sense.

I don't see any problem with Randy Thomas specifically. Typically these kinds of things are contagious and there is no one true culprit. It seems like the whole line is tired and playing a step slower...let's face it they are old. I think Rabach has been the most penalized of the offensive linemen and i was noticing over the past few games that he is snapping the ball sooner than the rest of the linemen anticipate. That could be why the defenses look like they have a step on us. Also don't underrate the fact that we have played some really tough D-line/pass rushes over the past 5-6 games (Pittsburgh, NYG, Ravens, and Dallas)

Bottom line is that it's a systemic problem with everyone on the line.
