Sometimes a competent offensive scheme cannot be executed without a competent offensive line, and attempts to compensate for incompetent offensive linemen wreck the scheme because nobody can focus on anything but extra blocking assignments to cover for ole ferdinand the bull at left tackle.

Tell me, Bako, exactly how many snaps have you seen our current offensive linemen take this season with another year of development and work with what should be a far superior offensive coaching staff, more than one of which have a great reputation of developing offensive linemen? Zero? Yup. That's right. Zero.

Just saw the interview with Benton.

I'm a believer in their approach. I like his take on "starting fresh" with Penning, how each of the lineman have the tools to execute their vision and the philosophy of "getting to a spot" or "beating their man to a spot".

It feels like things are simplified, play to their strengths and keep the defensive line on their heels.

More optimism baby!!

“Derek Carr is a good QB and ISN’T GOING ANYWHERE…”
and that right there, in addition to Dennis Allen, is why WE AINT GOING ANYWHERE either.

I'm expecting a slow start with the change in offensive strategy and the usual slow start to the season we see every year. Maybe we can get a fire lit under these boys and they'll come out of the gate leading the pack. If we steal a couple of wins early on we could surprise a lot of nay sayers.

I wouldn’t be surprised if we end up doing all the typical impossible improbable mathematical calculations about what all the other teams will have to do or not do, in order for us to woulda shoulda coulda make the playoffs. And then we can talk about the prolonged pain and progress of our indefinite “rebuilding” process leading up to 2030…
