Mostly the offensive line but our backs haven't helped things. I noted in another thread that Beanie had 3 runs that I can recount in full detail that should have resulted in 30-45 net rushing yards easy but instead combined to net us just 13 yards after Beanie either lost his footing or missed the massive cut back lane. Add 30-45 yards to Beanie's total from yesterday and the picture changes dramatically. LSH has his running issues, all of which we're well aware of. So does Powell. Williams is out. Our backs have been an issue, IMO.

Good article on Massie's improvement and how's he's improved his game/preparation. Said he was motivated by the numbers on PFF that said he was the 2nd worst tackle in the league (Batiste being the worst). You can't help but feel we have our RT for the next 5-10 years. No sacks in the past 3 games. |

Makes a fan proud to see when a rookie finally "gets it", shows some determination, and most importantly follows through with a commitment. This is the kind of thing that makes me hopeful for not just the OL, but the team.

| Another good game by both tackles in Pass protection. The 2 sacks came from the middle of the Line. Massie looking like a keeper. Hopefully Potter can do the same. |

| No offense Boise but I think the team needs to take Luke Joeckel if they can. Move Levi back to RT and then draft a QB to sit behind Kolb for a year or 2 and they need to bring in a vet like Vince Young? or someone. |

QB such a bigger need at this point. |

Please don't tell me we're discussing Vince Young again.
I loathe that weak throwing crybaby. I'd rather play Skelton.

Where we are picking it may be a reach to take 1 in the first round. |

Have fun supporting Lindley then. That's my point. |

Brady Quinn finished 19-23 201 yards and 2 TDs against Carolina. Yes, Brady Quinn...
Levi Brown needs to play RG so that we can actually get a push in the run game.

If that the case no chance Luke Joeckel still up for grabs. |

Lindley won't be starting next year but I'd take him over that piece of crap. Vince Young's a selfish crybaby who walked out on his teammates because he got benched, RIGHTFULLY, after a weak performance and a loss. He's getting nowhere near this team and if he does, I'm out.

Someone. Anyone with experience to backup then. I am not a big VY fan either but used him as my point. |

OK, good. I hate Vince Young.
Matt Moore isn't terrible.

| Give me a average to good tackle and a good QB then a elite tackle and some average QB behind him. Worked so well for the dolphins when they did it. |
