Is there any team more worthy of the Moore Award than our OL!?

Absolutely not after all the injuries and still performing. I feel like we can handle whatever comes at us after that last game, but the OL should be put on a pedestal. For a group unit trophy, they have earned it if we finish that out on Saturday. Great coaching but Donovan to LT, Siereveld exceeding at LG, Hinzman moving back to center, Tegra has been a little iffy but mostly effective, and Fryar has been damn good in my eyes. The players also adapted and stepped up to their calling.

With the offensive line as it is I was thinking.

Wouldn’t it make much more sense to try to be explosive? We take so much time off the play clock and we try to methodically move the ball. Being methodical really is putting a lot on our offensive line to be consistent. We just don’t have that kind of consistency IMO.

I think our best chance to catch fire is to do more to hit the big plays. More downfield, more screens to running backs, more tunnels to JJ, and more designed shots.

We don’t have the offensive line to chew clock and get points. Sure maybe we’ll put a drive together and then get 3 when we stall out. However, we need to score touchdowns in the playoffs.

We really really need to change philosophies from a slow methodical team to a fast strike team.

QB doesn’t have the arm to throw downfield as a staple and the OL can’t pass protect him long enough even if he did.

Early in the season I was actually complementing Kelly for recognizing what he had and running a lot of RPO stuff. At least it seemed like he was. Minimizing the weakness of both the QB and OL, playing big to his strength with all the skill guys.

No idea where all that went but I’m 100% sure if you start asking Howard to throw deep and the OL to protect him longer it’s going to be spectacularly unsuccessful.

I just disagree… we’ve seen him hit deep throws before and he’s actually got a decent percentage doing so. We just don’t try many that’s all.

As for the OL? We gave up no sacks to TCUN and we can go max protect if we need to. We actually don’t give up much in pass pro and haven’t all year despite 4 different (soon to be 5) different OL combinations.

I think we can do it and we should.

Agreed. It's one thing to have a player slip (Springs) or have an Vulvarine play out of their minds (Biatabutuka). It's another to have your fucking head coach be so mentally fragile as to self sabotage the team with a game plan that's targeted towards a coach in the NFL. And now Day is 0-2 against that coach's lackey. How soft are you to let a "mental giant" like Jimmy get that deep in your head.

But please remind me how this all just fine because we're in the CFP.

Simple. Don't watch. There's a thread for this crap. True fans will rally around the team now. I can see this board has turned in to Facebook light or Bucknuts. Used to be a good place where talking shit about players and coaches was an instaban. but now its every post by the same people. Disgusting.
