That's right. Let's get rid of everyone on offense that solidifies where he was drafted or outperforms his rookie contract (Wallace) and keep everyone on defense that was a high pick and doesn't start for 2-3 years unless the guy in front of him gets Injured
then we can keep complaints ing about how much the offense sucks on these boards.
Seems to me the point where Pouncey took a bit of a step back was when he injured his ankle. I've wondered if there's been something lingering as a result. I'm not sure you can compare Colon's blocks when he's pulling to Pouncey at C. A lot of times when we ran right and Colon was pulling, he'd be meeting a much smaller LB in the hole which he should destroy with his size advantage.
At C, Pouncey's job is to get enough leverage on one of the DTs to nudge him out of making a play and he's quick enough to get the edge on these guys. But he also has to work in conjunction with the guards to move some of these big boys. I thought he got to the point where he was working well with Foster when we ran right last year. I don' t think he was in sync with Colon on the other side. And on the Oline, you need your linemates to work with you or you all look bad.
He should get better this year with DD and Foster. But getting these guys up front in sync can take some time.
I thought Mike Adams was a protypical LT? This should surprise no one. It is merely an extension of his entire football career. I see flashes just like I did in college. What infuriates me is the fact that this guy could be dominant.
Even with his ankle injury last year, i think he played better than anyone else in the AFC with the exception of MAYBE Mack in Cleveland. Remember he had no inside help last year. I wouldn't say ANYONE on our offense created HUGE ANYTHING except penalties. Could Pouncey have been better last year? Absolutely. Getting owned by Ngata twice a year whhen your guards are terrible, your starting qb is hurt and the entire defense knows you can't throw the ball? Not surprising actually.
Pouncey is a terrific C who isn't playing well right now. Talk about reactive.
Hey I loved Wallace but there was no way we could keep him. We couldn't match Miami. I think we should have tried harder to get an extension, but really, I never saw that happening. He got his money.
Who else on Offense did you want to keep around? Colon? Mendy? Pope? Starks?
I'd make an argument for Starks, but really who have we let go that has killed us on offense?
you guys like to complain just to complain. 2 years ago we were the least scored on defense in the league and you complain. Last year we struggled.
