By comparison Rudolph's pockets look more like this: (
No wonder he is having a good game.
Andy's pocket looks like...well..a pocket. You know..one of those little change pockets that nothing ever really fits in..

Figures after looking for a decent center for about a decade when we finally have one the rest of the line goes to shit...

Halftime adjustments? Not much you can do with this oline. Get rid of the ball within 2 seconds every play.

Vigil sucks so bad he doesnt even get blocked. His slow motion tackle in the backfield couldve been made by grandma Clampett. Just put in Prastt and Reynolds and let it go.
Andre Smith and Bobby Fart should get engaged after this game. We miss Glenn and Williams bad and missing a rookie who's never played a snap is pretty sad.
Taylor is going to lose some people if we dont start looking like professionals.

I can’t help but watch this train wreck unravel.
It will be the EXACT same press conference from Taylor. Playing behind the sticks, missed/big plays equating to lost points and not converting in the Red Zone.
This is the 31st ranked D we are facing and yet we have 3 points. They already have 3 sacks one forced fumble and should also have an INT in there that Dalton tried gifting them.

How about maybe trying a different QB? I feel like I'm stuck in the movie "groundhog day".

2nd Half
Hand the ball off to Mr Overated Mixon
So he can get destroyed by first contact..
Then after getting off his @ss
React again as if he would have busted that tackle he would have been in the endzone

No. You know what he could do? Take the snap and as the rush comes...STEP UP IN THE ***** POCKET.

Yea Vigil has looked terrible. I'd be down to see what Pratt can do.

Woooow
While Trent Williams just rots away in Washington. Just goes to show how committed to winning the FO is.
BTW, Mike Brown is still very much in control of this team. People like to believe that it's Duke and Katie, but I can tell you from experience, in a family business, the father typically never gives up control of the children until he dies.
This years team has Mike Brown's stink all over them as much as we'd all like to not believe it. Now they've got a coach who is young enough to be Mike Brown's grandson. I doubt seriously Zac has anywhere near the control Marvin had, which may not have been much either.

Jim Turner isn't half the o-line coach that Alexander was at one point. He coached some truly great lines in his time here from the Jones-Steinbach-Braham-Williams-Anderson group, to the Whitworth-Boling-Bodine-Zeitler-Smith crew. Both were outstanding groups. Turner hasn't done a damn thing in the NFL but play Full Metal Jacket with various collections of bums and retreads.
He's a loudmouth with a tough-guy rep that hasn't earned any of it with respect to his current profession. Might as well be a frat pledgemaster in charge of hazing at rush. He can't coach worth shit. Also, he looks exactly like the asshole ******* he's reputed to be. Been a failure everywhere he's been in the league, not to mention a surly jerk, yet gets a job due to being buddies with our current HC. Trash of the highest order.

The o line sucks but there is alot of times where andy has to move and he does not. He stands still and takes a sack..tip toes and throws it away..or panics and makes a bad throw. He scared. Let's get someone calm and cool like Finley in there who knows how to move.

Maybe they're protecting Findley until they actually have an Oline some time in the distant future...In the yearrrr twenty five twenty five..If man is still alive..if woman can survive you may find.. Findley is playing QB for the Bengals...
Yeah..I know..He probably won't live that long, but ya never know. Maybe Mikey will invest in a cryogenics thingee..
