New starting offensive line

armsteadeatslittlekids : 11/24/2014 12:27 am
Only caught parts of the second half. How did the new starters fair? Still looked like there was a decent amount of pressure. Schwartz looked OK the few times I keyed on him.
Better in pass pro for the first third of the game.

Reverted to being mostly awful the rest, especially Walton.

They were largely not any good in run blocking from the start, as to be expected.
the big news  
area junc : 11/24/2014 12:32 am : link
from this game was schwartz's play at RT - he looked like McKenzie in his prime. Got good push, made his seal blocks and held up well in pass pro

he's got the size u want at RT. will be interesting to follow that situation moving fwd - dallas does not have much edge rush

snyder was poor
most of our negative

runs were to beatty's side
OL looked a little better

when ODB was torching the D. they backed men out. overall they didn't run very well. Pass blocking was the usual. Eli was under fire, but not as bad as weve seen. 2 intentional grounding and 2 that could have been. good amount of heat.

eli through the ball well, and quickly most of the night.
scwartz was fine. no better or worse than pugh on whole.

the interior was awful. melton torched jerry a few times. walton was bad.

was snyder benched or injured. he was bad and then the kid was back in. no push in the run
Schwartz looked better

than Pugh has all year, which isn't saying much.
I thought scwartz looked  
dancing blue bear : 11/24/2014 12:35 am : link
marginally better then pugh as a runblocker, and marginally worse in pass pro. that's just my opinion from real time watching. maybe i'll look at the tape. . . but i'm a sadist, not a masochist
When Pugh returnsdo they move Schwartz to RG? LG? or  
Tom in NY : 11/24/2014 12:51 am : link
leave him at RT and move Pugh to Guard?

I think Pugh resumes at RT with Schwartz going to RG and Snyder continuing at LG.

anything to get Jerry off the field  
SHO'NUFF : 11/24/2014 12:58 am : link
and then Walton...no, Walton first, then Jerry...no, wait...aww fuck it..get both of them off.
Schwartz had some great moments and other times, not so much  
Anakim : 11/24/2014 1:09 am : link
Same with Snyder. The problem continues to be Walton and Jerry.

Can't wait until next year when Richburg is the new starting OC and both those guys are off the team.

Does that mean most of our runs for little or no gain were to Schwartz' side? Cuz we only had 2 0r 3 good runs the whole game
When Pugh comes back ...

I think they move Schwartz to LT. Like many I would rather see them send Jerry to the bench; just don't see it happening. For some reason TC keeps Jerry in there.

You mean LG?
Snyder wiffed on a couple of blocks when pulling  
njm : 11/24/2014 8:37 am : link
Richburg is definitely the more mobile of the two, though Snyder is probably a little stronger.

The real problem continues to be Jerry.
Oooops  
Beer Man : 11/24/2014 11:20 am : link
Yes I meant LG.
Did Snyder get hurt?  
Matt M. : 11/24/2014 11:41 am : link
I don't recall hearing an explanation about why he left the game to be replaced by Richburg.

Either way, I don't understand this shuffling of the line. No doubt, especially with Pugh hurt, RT was a problem. But, even after their shuffling, the two worst OL of the regular starters remained in the lineup, while perhaps their 2nd best this year (not saying much) goes to the bench. And, this happens when his natural position is still filled by one of the two worst?

With the guys they started, there is no explanation that will satisfy me to warrant Walton and Jerry still starting. Schwartz should have been at RG, where he was signed to play. Richburg should have been at OC, where he was drafted to play. Brewer w, should have been at RT, at least to start.

and why hadn't Snyder played until this week, when he was signed back in September?
