They showed exactly who they are, and showed that they aren't good. We can only rely on screens and the run game until other teams realize that if they take it away we have nothing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wild cards are Eleumenor, who looked pretty good in PS, munford (also decent) and Parham sliding in at IOL eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickButera Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Anyone else find It odd why we have 11 defensive lineman on the roster, and re just added Peko to the practice squad too. 7 backups for 4 spots?! While we only have 8 O-lineman, 3 backups for 5 spots. I don't care how you cut it, going into week one this is just bad management and asking for trouble. What the heck do we need with that many defensive lineman. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guys who may be standing up lots and playing more OLB than true DL? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are playing with fire with the o-line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the heck do we need with that many defensive lineman. I think it’s in part down to the amount of rotation Graham does. The 5 o lineman stay on the pitch throughout the whole game - the backups are only there in case of injury. Whereas the dline will change up regularly during each given game. Plus the starting oline will be the same regardless of the opponent, whereas Graham may choose a different rotational dline depending my on the style of offense he’s facing. That’s what I’d guess anyways 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are playing with fire with the o-line I’ve always advocated for a large rotation on the DLine and can see why we keep 10 or 11 and have no problem with that as most will get snaps, I also agree that we probably don’t have enough on the OLine, I probably would have swapped a RB for an OLine given that 4th string RBs probably can be stashed on your practice squad given their low value. I hope we do add another Olineman at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be a match up nightmare for teams and protect Carr. I wanted Garden to run the same offense. Run the ball or pass out of a double TE offense. Keep the defense in its base.
