Anyone else a bit concerned about our offense?

TheOak · 08-15-2012, 08:08 AM

I watched the game against the Pats last night. I do have a concern about our offense. A Big one.. on each broken play, on just about each tackle behind the line or scrimmage, and on the interception... Bushrod was manhandled by Chandler Jones a rookie.

Bushrod has Brees blind side, and if he is going to get manhandled this is a problem,a big one.

maybe he had bad chowder... maybe not.

I wouldn't be worried about it. I think he was just taken aback by the rookie Chandler Jones going so hard when he probably didn't go as hard in their practices. And as far as Bushrod dealing with high caliber DE's...remember he always has help chipping on his side when he has to play those types of DE's. I doubt he'll get beat like that all the time during the season.

Not even slightly. If our Defense is infact greatly improved, our offense at 75% will be enough to get us to the big game. Brees not having to go out and throw for another record is a good thing.

Chandler Jones will be Jason Pierre Paul v2.0.

The kid is going to be a monster.

Not really concerned about Bushrod. When the season starts, we'll see more chipping and help from our TE's and RB's against those type of guys.

The only concern I have is that we have seen Brees and the offense struggle before. In 2010 he threw 22 picks and against Cleveland and Arizona our offense looked dazed and confused.

I'm sure there will be games again this year where our offense is out of sync, but those games are few and far between.

Don't let the Pat game fool you. Our starters played 2 series. We dominated their defense all week long in practice and if our starters had played the whole game we'd have dropped 40 on them easily.

I do think our O-line needs the next 3 games to gel.

I do think our defense is much improved already, and they still have 3 games to fine tune things.

Even if our offense takes a step back (which it won't) we'd still have a top 5 offense.

Not worried. Was missing alot of starters against Pats and in practice. It's finally nice to see our D hold on to the ball. Drew is probably not used to that. Also a healthy Casillias on D is a good sign. Bushrod will always stuggle with speed rushers. If it was a regular season game by the 3rd series Carmichael would have had a chip on Jones to help out Bushrod.

isnt the d suppose to be ahead of the O this time of year since the O is all about timing?

My analysis of the defense under spags is if that Front 7 stays healthy, you in for a surprise this year, because that defense is going to tear the NFL a new one in every game. I hate to say its 85 Bears good, but I dont think its too far off.

This has me excited this season because I am expecting the defense to really be good, their is no more of this other team scoring 20+ pts all the time this season.

Normally yes. But the defense is installing a new system and it takes time to get it together.
