Ben Grubbs vs. Carl Nicks

Rugby Saint II · 09-10-2012, 01:09 PM

When Nicks left in free agency there were a lot of folks that were very upset with the front offices decision.
Enter Grubbs.......the next annointed savior on the O-line. After seeing the O-line perform in regular season how do ya'll feel about him now?

Grubbs did a lot better than our OT's.
Grubbs wasn't the problem.
He and Evans graded out the best of our O-line.

It was their defensive ends that were pinning their ears back and meeting in the middle...

Seattle playoff game two seasons ago? Bushrod and Strief looked like turnstyles and those Seattle DEs should be sending Christmas Cards to our tackles thanking them for their big paydays...

49ers Aldon Smith was annointed the way he handled our OTs last year in the playoffs...

That's why I asked whose decision it was to say we were fine at OT...

It was a total team loss yesterday - but the OT problem has been a concern...

I brought up Bushrod getting man handled against the Patriots in preseason and was told it was preseason....didnt matter.

BS- Its now regular season. and it didn't go away. BOTH batted balls were Bushrods guy and Bushrod was 3 feet from him... I could have batted those balls with no one in my face.

Whole O-line didn't seem like they had gelled. They had a game like this last year (think it was the Rams) and made all the right adjustments. Can't single out Grubbs yesterday.

Gotta remember one the past year we have totally revamped our line. Stinch gone, De la Puente, new, Nicks gone, who am I missing? A new offensive line takes time to gel.

Lets not blame Grubbs. He wasn't the problem....Bushrod and Strief were.

First pick in our next draft

Some monster offensive tackle because I'm sick of both of ours

When brees notices the blitz and has to do that WOAH CRAP!! kind of recognition, it always coming from their assigned players

De la Puente got trucked a few times as well. Which can't happen for Drew to be successful. He can step up or out if the tackles get beat. He can't succeed with pressure in his face. Graham is not a good blocker at all. It was collectively a bad effort overall.
