Quote:it's kind'a like the 'perfect storm' situation....we have an offensive line composed mostly of rookies. Our left tackle is not very big for a NFL tackle and gets beat often. None of our running backs are particularly known for their good blocking skills. We have a rookie quarterback who sometimes panics and runs out of the pocket and into rushers instead of just 'throwing the ball away' or just simply holds the ball too long.

 

So it's not like we can readily point to just one guy and say, 'yes, this is the weak link in the chain'. Our 'chain' as a whole is pretty weak. Bowanko and Linder are thought to be pretty good... but good compared to what? Our quarterback is getting sacked for record numbers and is getting hurt.

 

Gus said when interviewed that our line IS getting better... All I can say is...? We're getting our quarterback sacked 'big time', we're looking at a real possibility of finishing this season no better than 3-13, maybe 2-14. Because of the pocket pressure, Bortles is regressing in some areas as a quarterback. If that represents 'progress' for an offensive line then we need to stop progressing before our quarterback gets killed.
