I really don't understand PFF grading. One of the two times that Aikman called out Juice, he was actually engaged in a block. Patterson was the one who was free and looking the other direction when the rusher split him and Juice for the sack on C.J.
I absolutely acknowledge the talent level of Tunsil. But his consistency at getting called for false starts has been detrimental to the OL as a unit. He’s supposed to be the leader, but he is so honed in on his PFF grade, that a certain lack of professionalism rubs off on the rest of the unit. I really want Tunsil to be the stalwart of the OL, but the more I see him year in and year out, game after game, it seems that he’s going to be the epitome of self inflicted penalties….
Without Tunsil, Stroud would be dead. Blindside sacks are a lot different then interior pressure sacks.
I see Scruggs and Mason were back to sucking again this week. Of course Simmons and Sweat are loads to deal with.
I'm for retooling the offense this offseason. New OC/OL coaches are mandatory. I think the entire OL should be revamped. Let the new coaches assess who will work in their scheme and then replace the rest. Invest in a veteran C that is a badass. Besides that a young/talented RB and maybe another WR and we should be set. Sick of this sh*t.
Watching the Chargers O-Line block is a thing of beauty. You win in the trenches and that's where it needs to start.
Anyone have any ideas on how to revamp the line this off season? There's obviously the draft. But can we gain any cap space by cutting Shaq and/or Tytus. How much cap space do we have if we don't resign Diggs?
A team that can get the QB and the OL elite at the same time is a legitimate title contender. To be frank, the Texans weak OL play relegates them into a common Texans tier, aka: just happy to make the playoffs.
The optics while watching is bad enough, but when I see guys like Dan O break down plays and you have 2-3 mental mistakes by 2-3 different people it begs the question, WTF are they doing in practice. You cant wholesale fire the O Line and that leaves Slowik, I am sure Demeco wont fire him mid-season but one hour after we get booted from the WC game he should be fired. Then trade Tunsil and get our new LT through the draft or FA, the man is not a Captain and sure as hell isnt a DAWG..................................last thing, start holding the O Line to the standards of the D Line, we got DAWGS on the D Line and a bunch of overpaid pansies on Offense.
How does Strausser sleep at night knowing his unit not only looks like **** on a weekly basis, but that they are missing basic pick-ups and not identifying anything at the line of scrimmage? There's zero accountability within this coaching staff right now, and it's a clear reflection on the way DeMeco is running things. He needs to tighten up the ship, and make it clear this level of production from a single unit is unacceptable and there are consequences to shitty play. The collective attitude from the O Line alone is enough for me to want Strausser gone, but until DeMeco steps in and drops the hammer, this will continue. It's obvious Slowik has no gumption to do it himself, so it will need to be DeMeco.
