Quote:If it is the line, I wonder if it maybe be because the correct calls aren't getting called protection wise. I don't know McClendon but he doesn't come off as the brightest bulb in the box. Could it be possible he isn't making the right protection calls. 

It's possible.  The interviews I've seen with Mcclendon suggest he actually is a bright guy, but who knows?  

 

I really think it just boils down to talent. Or lack thereof.  Brewster was supposed to come along in year 3 and become the center many projected he would be after a solid college campaign. Didn't happen. We settled for McClendon who just isn't getting it done. 

Joeckel hasn't quite made the NFL adjustment yet, but I wouldn't give up on him just yet. He struggled today at times. 

 Beadles is a disappointment thus far and has work to do if he wants to live up to his paycheck (or continue to receive it).

Bradfield oddly played better at LT last year and looks inept at RT this year and hopefully Pasztor is back there in a week or two. 

RG is a rookie - so growing pains are expected. 

 

 

I think it's a mixture of patchwork, youth and one bad FA signing that adds up to one big row of stink up front.  I can't imagine anyone's play calling or playbook working behind that line.
