It only resulted in the OLine giving up 3 sacks last season.

lol, I remember a game last season when we gave up something like 7-8 sacks.  Didn't run the ball well, scored only something like 10 points.  You know, the usual..

 

Tony Boselli comes on the radio and says "after studying the tape, the offensive line didn't look that bad at all.  Linder was great.  Bowanko and Beadles had good games.  Joeckel and Pasztor were solid."

 

Something along those lines.  And I'm thinking if everyone is solid, how in the world are we giving up 8 sacks?  How are we only scoring 10 points?

Copy cat league sometimes you copy the wrong things.  Let's straighten out and move the needle up.  I'm tired of a flat lined roster.

It's about players not plays, unless your players are horrible and then you have to quickly come up with plays that can pull their strengths out over their weaknesses.

I must be drinking the kool-aid or mining for fool's gold, but when I look at the RTs we have had... Pashos, Whimper, Pasztor. Bradfield. And I look at Parnell. And what he's done, albeit briefly. I really think his whole attitude and what he brings as a player could really be a good fit to fix a long ailing weak spot. That in itself gives me confidence we could surprise a lot of teams if we come out hot this season.

Only a chump boos the home team!

Don't forget Britton. That guy was money.

Last I checked he is still in the league.  Sometimes with lineman you can work with serviceable and dependable.  He sure wasn't the worst player at a line position.

Britton's mouth wrote a lot of checks his game couldn't cash. Still, he looks like Anthony Munoz compared to Guy Whimper.

Lageman did this too.  But now that we've switched blocking schemes, the narrative is that last year we just had to compensate for poor talent on the line.  Hold on, Lageman was preaching to us last year that the line played well; and if it played well, that would indicate we did not have a lack of talent. The story is constantly evolving.

---

Anyone who says that line played well last yr is just flat out dum.

---

There was a game or two where I thought the backs were a much bigger liability than the line.


Although the line wasn't lighting it up either.

Haven't we been on ZBS forever now?

Haven't we been on ZBS forever now? 

 

I thought we were copy catting it back when TD blew up in Denver.  I think the road grader line we had in 2007 was the change in direction.

 

ZBS is the offensive pursuit of copy cat like 3-4 scheme is for defense.  Everyone wanted to copy Denver running and Pittsburgh for defense.  The idea of ZBS was you could scoop up the little guys that don't quite fit the prototype road graders.  With the planet theory, there are only so many big guys each year.  The 3-4 was with everyone drafting the big ends you could get the tweeners for outside rush ends.

 

The reality is with everyone chasing scheme you miss on the talent.  And that is exactly what happen to us.  All the scheme and planning could be blamed for the putrid talent on the field.

 

This long losing streak has re-enforced these concepts:

Players not Plays

Don't over think the draft

Patience over Hype

Execute a Plan

 

I really want to see execution now.  The win column can come later if I'm seeing real competition.

Making the change is the right thing to do. And if our new blocking scheme starts to make Gerhart look good, we might ask why this wasn't done sooner...

Because you actually have to impliment the system before you can figure out whether or not it will work.

 

No one has a crystal ball and you can't just up and change your blocking scheme mid season, so they were stuck with it until they got to the offseason.

^^ Thanks for the reminder.  I think that gets overlooked.  I know that is a case for me.  With the change in the CBA you can't do anything after the season starts.
