Let's be honest, in the last game what receiver apart from Thomas, was visible? That's just the way the game played out and I don't think it was due to the lack of trust in the passing game.

My spider senses tell me it could be a possible teaching moment for Snead. "Go out and block like Coleman, continue to be a team player, reconcile for letting us down". I'm hopeful Willie will be targeted more down the stretch & give him the usual looks in a game. The last couple of games, defenses have been loading the box (would explain Snead's role in added blocking responsibility).

It's a collective grind.

Fleener is MIA as well. For Snead the suspension, Ginn, and Kamara are why he's not doing diddly IMO. Fleener and Josh Hill are decoys and pass blockers at best. Hill's light is never coming on. He seems like a good person, but he's a very mediocre TE. Definitely need to upgrade the TE position.

We have the best O Line in football now.

Let's not get a head of ourselves. One Game at a time. Will see the Viking down the road.

Now they just have to get healthier and continue to gel...

But that was about as dominating a performance I've ever seen by an offensive line...

Reminded me of some of those Redskins Hogs teams of the 1980s...

About the only flaws I could see were Warford was unable to effectively get to the second level (injury?)...

If we can stay healthy we will have the best line in football. If we stay relatively healthy we should still have one of the best lines in football.

Having an O-line like this makes it possible for our Saints to impose their will on virtually any team. We may not totally destroy the deadskins like we did the bills but I look for them to be playing from behind for most of the the game, like from the opening drive until Drew takes a knee.
