Game thoughts....Why it will be a long season

subguy · 09-16-2012, 05:04 PM

Once again the same thing I said after last week our poor defense is still poor, but the biggest problem this season is the O Line. Drew is not having a chance to settle in and it is taking him out of his game. The worst part of it is something we caught a glimpse of, the fact that this pressure and hurries and contact will eventually catch up to Drew and I fear an injury.

Even with an average D we have been able to out score opponets, the biggest change this year is QB protection.

The down-side of a player holding out because of contract negotiations and not being in TC to get acclimated to new players!

Or the downside of a FO that kept from paying someone they knew they would have to pay anyway?

Why it won't...
Because there are no more Cam Newtons or RG3 spread QB's with blazing speed on our schedule.

We knew our D needed time to adjust to a new system

We'll get Greer, Patrick and Henderson back soon.

Why you may be right...
Our O-line looks much worse than simply losing Nicks. Something else is F'd up there. Strief and Bushrod look much worse than years past.

Week 16, it won't matter, we'll have clinched the 2nd seed and play Daniel.

I was thinking the same thing about the mobile QB's. We do have Vick, but we seem to have had success with him in the past. Good post. Something to finally make me feel better. Did you see any breakdown coming from Nicks old spot?

Vick is no where near as cerebral as RGIII or Cam. And his wheels dont move as well as they used to.

It was atrocious -the line play

Luckily we'll probably have a high draft pick next year and can replace Bushrod... Or a linebacker... Or a CB... Or a safety... We're a mess!
