Actually, the GM needs to draft better Lineman. They would then be able to block better.

These guys (Interior Line) haven't played but 4 weeks together, the Guards were injured all Pre-Season, and the Center arrived the week before from another squad.

They will improve as time goes on.

I understand that you're a "right now" person, but its 4 games. Let these guys get to mid season before you cast failure on them.

The sad thing is, Jerry legitimately thought that they improved the line. Whether we did or not doesn't really matter, because he and the coaching staff evidently liked what they saw. Obviously, hindsight is 20/20, but they did at least attempt to upgrade, unlike in years past. Not exactly the way that I personally would have attempted to upgrade the line, but hey, what are you going to do.

Plan, I think you would like my post in the mock draft thread.

There is so much that is so great about Jerry saying that he's the one pressuring the players to play better.

First, it's quite evident that Jerry is not talking a hands off approach to the team as many have suggested.

Second, it's good know that the GM can find the time to talk to these players man to man. I'm pretty sure this is how the conversation went...

Jerrah: hey tubbies. I brought you guys here cause ya'll got some great big fat arses. Now, I need you tubbies to move your fat arses and go block someone. Any questions?

Tubbies: yes, Mr. Jones. When the defenses is showing a double barrel blitz threw the A gaps, but they drop back into coverage at the last second only to have the SS run a delayed blitz at the C gap and a DE stunt up the middle and the UT swing outside, should Nate stay at home to protect the A gap or swing out to block rogue defender?

Jerrah: Com'on tubbies. Y'all need to go figure that out. I got some panties I need to sell.

I don't think that it is lack of cohesiveness primarily. Although that is, in all likely hood, a problem as well. I see guys (bernindeuce and livings) getting out matched in 1 on 1 situations. Livings in pass protectection and berny in any protection. As far as Dockery is concerned... there was the game when Livings went down for a few plays and Dock was subbed in, I believe it was Tampa, and Dockery was thrown(yes thrown) backwards about 4 yards off the snap. Enough so that I paused and rewound 3 or 4 times so my friends (my cat and her chew toy named cuppy) and I could laugh and laugh again...

Ok, again, someone taking something and making it a bigger deal. Yes our O Line sucks, but they asked Jerry about it, what was he supposed to say "No our O Line is great"

Everyone and their fing mother wants us to block better. What the hell is he supposed to say?

Just playing devils advocate before some of you jump down my throat, I understand that Jerry bought the groceries and is now complaining about the meal.
