Should we bring John Jerry back?

BigBlueDownTheShore : 9/17/2018 9:08 am
I only say this, because Omameh is brutal in pass protection, and the run blocking which is supposed to be Flowers and Omameh's strength, isn't much better.

If we are going to dink and dunk, Jerry was a hell of a lot better pass protector.
Where did the myth of Jerry the great pass protector come from?

He sucked at that, too. Maybe not as much as Omameh, but he's an all-around garbage lineman.

Somewhat unrelated - and not like he was a "good" player either - but the Brett Jones trade isn't looking so hot right now.

I don't think he is half as bad as Omameh is. He's worse then Fluker on stunts.
I still don t know how Halapio won the job over Jones in the first pla

Jones was pretty clearly the better player in preseason in my eyes. I have no idea what they see in Halapio.
This entire line looks like a bunch of UDFAs

But to a point that Collinsworth made last night, this was not primarily individual players getting beat one on one. This was five guys who looked like they had never met and were playing a pick up game. No idea where to go or who to block. Basic stunts had them completely baffled.

Some of this is obviously a lack of talent, but the bigger culprit right now seems to be lack of understanding/coaching.
Jerry and the like

are why this team is bad.

Agree. That seemed to be geared more towards freeing up cap space than putting the better player on the field. Either way, what they have done to upgrade the line isn't working yet.
yes

^This. I wouldn't bring him back. Use Pulley or Brown.
Ok the run game is struggling mightily also

so let's bring back one of the worst run blocking guards in football!
