The Oline (collectively), needs to improve.

But in the end, I'm just a couch coach, GM and head trainer .

He looked a little better in the second half and made a key block. My vote would be Hurst. I still think we need to make a trade for someone legit.

I was being facetious, because lately that's been our mantra. Wasn't that what the team kept saying last year though?

I was talking with my twin brother about this yesterday. Peat has been better than Hurst playing guard, even though Peat isn't great he can be good at times. It might be time to swap out the left guards and let Peat's experience help solidify that leaky O line. Give Penning a little help inside and let him take his lumps while getting live action reps on film for the coaches to study.

That would be nice, but where would we find a trade partner at this point? Tackles have been going down like flies across the league these first two weeks. There was already a shortage to begin with. I wouldn't expect any team to be in the market to trade one of their better tackles until they were completely out of the running.

** 2nd clip - Starting at timestamp :37 ... Ruiz's technique was bad. Happened a few times vs Carolina.

I'd rather our guy HOLD than to have a linebacker come in for a free shot to our QB like that. Underhill mentioned on Tuesday that the Saints lead the league right now in quarterback sacks allowed. Clean that up.

Collectively, this oline has to improve (Penning played well) going forward.

Packers OL ranked #1??

With no Elgton or Bakhitiari ?

They only managed 4 ypc to the Falcons 5ypc just last week & LOST.

That ranking for GB is fools gold.

Saints simply blew it against a depleted team with a below avg QB.

Week to week league. Just ask Dallas or Jacksonville.
