We're 5th in the conference in sacks allowed before they tack on all the sacks we gave up today.

The line is inconsistent and the OC is consistently not prepared for teams that blitz. Couple those two things together and you get many sacks.

You read my mind....I was just thinking that very same thing.

All this hype in the pre-season about all the weight they lost as a unit.  The phrasing they used was that they were doing this to improve their "power run blocking."

Uhhh.....yeah.

Back to the drawing board.

Yeah they slimmed them down for blocking down field????? Since we still don't have a running game and we never use a screen then I'd say the big boys starved themselves for nothing!

The blocking scheme requires more athletic quicker linemen.  Our guys getting to 330+ is not good.

Having said that, some of the linemen looked pretty heavy.  I think a couple guys have gained back all that weight and then some.  I think the announcers made a comment about Jake Griffin.

Can you really have a "blocking scheme" in an offense whose coordinator doesn't even have a gameplan?

Point we were making is that whatever these guys did in the offseason hasn't been successful.

I wish we'd give the empty backfield a rest.  Put in some backs to cover the blitz and use the empty backfield as an audible, maybe.
