I remember a poster, Oline guru, really good Oline blocking breakdowns. Had a different name on mother ship then he was Red something on here. Haven't seen him around in couple years, anywho.
He posted a big long thread about Paul Brown and Otto Graham. And how Paul preached find your Otto Graham and everything will fall in place after that, easy peasy. It was probably Palmer at the time but Red was saying Mike was heading right down that path. "We have Palmer so piss on the Oline, Dline, DB's, RB, on and on." And Red aws probably right on target.
Mike and Co. today - We have Joe so everything else will be good. And you see how that's working out.
Royle Redlegs.
Yes, absolutely agreed. I think the difference was, Paul understood you needed blockers in front of Otto. His first draft pick in Cincinnati was a Center, after all. Mike's so foolish, he didn't understand that Paul was talking about skill players falling in place around a good QB.
What baffles me, is they'll get a good roster every now and again, and won't do one or two things to put it over the top. Things like getting Dalton a good center. Getting Palmer a few game changers on defense. Getting Joe a good line, etc. Then, they'll just let that good roster walk out the door and replace those guys with scrubs. Literally WTF.....
