"Drew Brees average time to sack 3.63s only 2 QBS have shorter times Brady and Manning"
Yep. That does blow my mind. Where did you get that from? What this suggests is that with a great QB, you don't have to have an amazing O-line. Is that what this stat suggests? |

I'm all for replacing Brown and DLP but not the week of a game that can make or break the future of this post season

Re: Offensive Line (educational)
Also heard some analyst comment that the majority of pressure Drew received were stunts that confused our O-line.
We obviously had our fair share of getting beat man-on-man, but there were a lot of plays where our O-linemen were simply clueless who to block. And a lot of these were simple D-line stunts. Kromer anyone? |

We weren't great at run blocking in our previous man scheme, but we didn't totally suck either. So we changed to zone blocking thinking we'd improve, but we didn't, we actually got worse. You'd think after the Spags debacle we'd learned our lesson about square pegs and round holes. |

I personally believe it is the implementation of the scheme that hasn't worked and not the scheme in itself.

Re: Offensive Line (educational)
Here is another trap block... Notice the guard pulls all the way to the left defensive end.
