Excepting QB, I would aways prioritize brawn over skill. Creating running holes and protecting the QB, stopping running holes and rushing the QB will win more games then.having great receivers or running backs. Now preseason games are actually less than meaningful. One game can distort a players ability you trust the coaches to use the entire trading camp performance to create a roster, preseason being an.important part but not the whole story. That being said, the green bay players were just not going through the motions. It was a "real" game. Both our lines looked wonderful. Our QB for the most part had adequate time in the pocket. There Were some good holes opened up. Defensive line look very good the entire game. It is my opinion that the quality drop off from a first tier lineman,either side to the second tier is far greater than the drop off in skill positions. So, I am very encouraged by the play of the most important of the team. But again, the game could be worse than meaningless. Hopefully it's not
I think there is some work that needs to be done in short yardage situations. With this O line and these RBs, getting 1 yard should not be a problem.
we really don't know yet about very much. Play calling was vanilla, as its supposed to be. the play called on the 4th down was atrocious...the back took forever to get up to the line. but there was nothing to complain about, in fact they deserve cheers for that game.
We better have more than a respectable OL, with all the draft capital this organization has invested into it, not just number 1 picks, but high picks. I don't want to hear another peap about OL.
yeah what the hell they ran it up down and through the Packers and then got stuffed on 4th and 1. I do think the backups were in though at that time
That 4th down playcall was classic Hackett. I figure they want to keep it vanilla to get the OL used to playing together.
