Our "O" Line

Maybe you should watch the film and see if you can tell me how that line excelles again. Maybe you can blame all 7 sacks on Brooks, but I don\'t. I don\'t think most would, but you...you\'ll blame him for the chick that sang the anthem before the game being slightly off key. LOL

A classic skirt and skew job Saintfan. Congrats.

Let\'s review shall we?

Whodat lists FIVE reasons the line is playing poorly. ONE of those things is the continued and consistent tendency of deep drops by our QB (see that\'s a problem when you have a line that can\'t block and Tackles that can\'t deal with faster more athletic DEs). Did I blame Brooks? NO!!! I said it could be him, it could be McCarthy, that I wasn\'t sure, but I guess it\'s a combination thereof...

Saintfan cites ONE play all game where McCarthy called a short drop - note that it worked well too, further supporting my point that deep drops are problematic and that short drops with a quick release will help the o-line and Brooks. He does this for what purpose other than an attempt to prove me wrong?

I challenge him to show more than one play suggesting my comments are inaccurate.

He doesn\'t even address it, he replies with \"Maybe you can blame all 7 sacks on Brooks, but I don\'t. I don\'t think most would, but you...you\'ll blame him for the chick that sang the anthem before the game being slightly off key. LOL\"

Interesting, considering if his point is that the line play is poor, and I am giving 5 reasons why the line is, in fact, playing poorly,and most of my comments deal with the line and the O coordinator, that he would focus on Aaron Brooks. Obsess much? What exactly are you trying to prove Saintfan? The line is playing poorly? I already agreed and gave reasons. You disagree with my reasons? Why don\'t you suggest why you think the line isn\'t playing well then? Can\'t come up with the ideas on your own? We all know you\'re great at slinging sarcasm and criticism at others - but what exactly are you criticizing in my last two posts in this thread other than me??

You\'re suggesting that I\'m blaming Brooks entirely for the line\'s poor play. I\'m doing nothing of the sort - though AB\'s play IS a factor. To use your analogy, you\'d blame the girls who sang the national anthem for AB\'s backwards passes before you\'d blame him, wouldn\'t you?
