Oline

fish3321 : 9/8/2024 5:47 pm
Everything sucked today, on a more positive note, I thought the Oline was serviceable today, actually I though they were approaching average NFL standards in terms of Pass Protection. Not having a DE burn Evan Neal around the edge every single passing play was refreshing.

Yes, I know the sky is falling with Daniel Jones. He was awful and awfully rusty in terms of pocket presence. He was missing easy 10 yard completions. He's not the long term answer. But he will get more comfortable on the knee. He had surgery 9-10 months ago, he looks skiddish.

This outcome is what Daboll gets not wanting to risk any injuries in the preseason, you get a team not ready for week 1. 40-0 against Dallas and 28-6 against the Vikings two years in a row.

Only coach who had his position group reasonably ready for week 1 was Bricillo.
Yeah there were moments

where they let in pressure but jones was holding the ball so much i dont think the Line had a chance on certain plays
i wish the run blocking was better

but overall they were adequate. That's basically what we have been begging for.
If Jones was a professional QB they would have looked better

For a group who never played together for 1 snap

in the preseason, I think they played fine.

I expect to see a big jump by the end of the month in their play together.
It’s a real shame that Neal isn’t able to play RT

This team would look much better with a serviceable RT and Elum at RG
They sucked too

We're just used to record setting levels of suck so they didn't look so horribly sucky compared to last year
washington looks pretty bad  
fish3321 : 9/8/2024 6:31 pm : link
just have to win ONE game, and the narrative on this season may change
They weren't last year level bad  
Bill in UT : 9/8/2024 6:37 pm : link
but I didn't think they were very good, either, run or pass. It was, however, their first game playing as a unit.
We got very little run  
Daniel in MI : 9/8/2024 6:44 pm : link
Movement and allowed too much pressure.

You see Darnold standing back there most of the game? That’s what actual good OL line play looks like.
They looked better than last season's disaster, but I thought they

were below average.
And….the deck chairs….  
thrunthrublue : 9/8/2024 7:14 pm : link
….on the Titanic were overall comfortable.
its one game  
fish3321 : 9/8/2024 7:28 pm : link
lets keep it in context. If were 0-4 then sure, sink the ship.

This. Announcers saying how great he played. Sure. Receivers had a day to get open
