Our Offensive Line Has Sure Come A Long Way, Huh?

SlackerCSB · 01-21-2009, 09:36 AM

I know I overreacted after the Eagles game and was hoping for a 9-7 season. They just seem to get better and better each week they play together...

Yes, they have really seemed to gel togeher, especially in time for the playoffs. Though Willie Colon is still garbage.

Yes the O-line still has a lot of improvement to make but overall they are playing much better and as you know it takes longer for the O-line to gel and as they play together more they will get better and better. They need to have the best game of the year in the Superbowl.

I would like to see Parker run for at least 150+ yards against Arizona

Yes they have came a long way, 1 more game will tell the story. Must give them credit they played decent against a good D on Sunday.

Agreed, once the darft comes around we need to find someone that will bump this guy off the starting o line. Until then lets gear up and win the superbowl baby!

That's for sure! Willie Colon is decent for a backup and I think is much better suited to play gaurd. I just hope the SOB doesn't get a TD overturned due to holding in the Super Bowl.

Good enough. That's all we need them to be. I wouldn't want to go into another full season this way, but we've done a great job making the most out of what we have right now.

Our pass locking has definately improved as Ben usually has adequate time and even a pocket now soemtimes. The run blocking still seems inconsistent but they have played top defenses this year

We got Marvel Smith and Kendall Simmons still also. Imagine if these guys didnt get injured.

Willie Colon pisses me off, He took William Gay's list on my Shitlist. If he lines up without his helmet on the line one more time Im gonna poop in his law this summer.

William Gay has been playing a lot better recently while i think about it.

i think gay has been playing good all yr..
and i am actually happier that starks is playing lt instead of smith
