I don’t follow that stuff, I don’t have FB, and I don’t watch commercials, I record everything and fast forward through it. So sorry I didn’t catch sarcasm in a text. As far as my take on the oline. Obviously it needs help. But how can you say it needs a complete overhaul when we are going to the Sb? I mean sure in a perfect world we have an all pro bowl line, but that won’t happen, add a fantastic blocking TE like Gronk, get reiff back. Jackson has a year under his belt, add one more in FA. and that would go a very long way!
Gronk is in USAA commercials - its a joke.
And I can easily state why we need at 60% overhaul. Because of the following:
Due to the terrible oline we cant run a large % of our playbook as we are restricted to 3 drop pass plays - quick release options. This means no 5-7 drop concepts (no downfield passes such as double moves or deep posts, only the quick go route). Limits our offense drastically.
9 sacks (really 11, but 2 didnt count) on 12 hurries vs Titans.
We actually had 17 hurries vs the Chiefs but Joe evaded the sacks.
I dont want Joe getting injured again and the most likely scenario he does is if we lead the league in hurries, hits and sacks again.
I would love to see Joe have time and run our complete playbook. The only positions preventing this right now: C, RG and RT
I would love to hear your thought process on keeping the worst right side of an oline in the NFL...
