2015 Saints Offensive Line - First Quarter Season Assessment

nutria · 10-05-2015, 07:27 AM

Listened to Steve Korte on WWL driving home yesterday and his opinion after looiking at the game films is that the Offensive Line's fundamentals are bad.

New practice rules by Players Association don't give enough time for "live" practicing.

This makes me think that the coaching is not what it should be, from Payton down to offensive line coach. Players not responsible for honing their skills during off-season.

If they don't get better Brees may not live through this season.

I like Steve Korte and he's probably right. We have 3 new players along the O-line and of all the units in the NFL, the O-line is the one that requires 5 players in complete unison both mentally and physically.

With the new rules its gotta be hard for new O-lines to gell. I suspect as the season wears on the O-line will get better and better.

Yeah this is happening all over the NFL right now. Eventually you gonna have to practise to become good no matter what the NFLPA thinks about it.

It will be interesting to see when the fingerpointing starts about the last collective bargaing agreement and the recent QB injuries. I mean Brees, The Rape-ape (Roethlisberger), Romo, Luck, Josh McCown and so on. Not all injuries might be because of O-lines not practising together but we'll see if this is a trend during the season.
