HitStickAllDay Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Jones struggles significantly in space but seems relatively stout in stationary positions. I’d look at my playbook and figure out which guard position doesn’t need to be as mobile and plug him in there and kick Remmers to RT. I thought the o line looked far better with Elf at center. Compton seems to be a problem but he was playing against the manbearpig Donald. So, Reiff-Jones-Elf-?-Remmers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelKing728 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Still waiting for the Offensive Line to be Outstanding. Maybe we should update the title? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While they aren't outstanding, they are middle of the pack...which is really all I ask for. So, it probably should be "The Often Overbearing, but Otherwise Ordinary Offensive Line" 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrplChilPill Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 The run blocking can't be average, is it? If so, then wow, the OLs in this league are bad..... Get O'Neil in the games. Does Oakland have an OL they want to trade for no good reason? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get O'Neil in the games. Does Oakland have an OL they want to trade for no good reason? Run blocking has to be well below average, the alternative is that Cook is just not a good rusher. I know we haven't run the ball the nearly enough the past two weeks. Guards appear to be the biggest weakness. We don't have a starting caliber guard and and the tackles (Hill and O'Neill) likely can't slide inside to move Remmers back to RT (well below average G).

According to FootballOutsiders, prior to the Rams game, they were 19th the NFL in run blocking...16th in pass blocking. The NFL, as a whole, is horrible for it's offensive line play. It's probably the worst era for offensive line play in my entire life. They are going to have to change the CBA to address this, because it ain't working.

vikesfan89 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Any chance that they would consider moving remmers back out to tackle if reiff misses time? There's not much depth yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not many great OL out there but they've at least given Cousins enough time to have a career year, so it's not like the group is holding the passing game back. As run blockers, they are bad.

They are middle of the pack...this is just where the NFL is at at this time. It's a terrible era for offensive line play....and it's because of the lack of offseason contact and the rise of the spread in college football. That combination has led to bad, bad offensive line play all throughout the league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrplChilPill Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I don't get why they like Remmers inside.... I don't get why O'Neil isn't a regular from now on. Other than "rookie"....there is no reason for him not to start. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted October 15, 2018 Author Share Posted October 15, 2018 When Reiff comes back, Hill needs get moved to the bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
