If a corner on the other side of the field takes a play off, at worst, you're stuck covering an extra guy if you're playing zone. A wr, if he doesn't work on improving his ability to pull the ball in, that doesn't make it impossible for other receivers to catch.Yes, I understand that concept and agree. The thing is the guy was 1st round pick and won the job in training camp...Would liked to have seen or heard what made him the winner. I do not think that Ced or Fisher are built to be RTs in the NFL...I do not believe either have the correct bulk for that side or at least bulk/strength in the correct places on their body...Say what you want about Fat Andre but the guy was a road grader in the blocking game...i just do not see that in these 2 guys.
for oogie boogie, a line is only as good as the weakest link. And there's a lot of communication/cooperation. That comes from on the field play to a degree, but at the same time you can't have a really crappy line because you're playing a rookie. So he needs.some playing time, but as Jim o mentioned a while back, fixing oogie's mistakes will mostly come in the off season when coaches can sit down with him and say "here's what you're doing wrong, here's what you're doing right."
You are correct an OL is as strong as it's weakest link....Our weakest link is right in the middle but for some reason that is never addressed with this team. And this year Zeitler was not as good as in years past because he was worrying about Bodine on his left and the rotating RT to his right.
