Such a bad look...Poor guy.  He's actually a very nice man.  I met him at a hotel in Akron after the Bengals played in Cleveland.  No idea why he was in Akron, but we talked over breakfast and he was a huge fan of Taylor Mays, who had just joined the team.  Shows that maybe he falls in love with athletes and not football players.

BUT......
I don't blame the past 2 years of not running the ball well so much on any coaches....
I blame it more on our weak O-line....Bodine's been weak from jump street....
then drafting Ced & Fisher & losing Whit & Zeitler.....
no coach could of fixed the line at that point....no matter what you call we'd get pushed back....
the offense can't win like that....

the coaches are just the scape goats....

I don't know...With Redmond and Westerman getting their first shots and Boling playing LT, the line started to do more drive and less slide blocking in the run game and they had two consecutive 100 yard rushers.  

I think a lot of it was the scheme.  And the stupid coaches not playing the more talented players.

I really hope now that Marvin picks someone who will help us win because if Lazor can change the line scheme and have our running backs playing at an above average level after 2 games imagine what a real offensive line coach could do in a whole offseason. 

Maybe this doesnt have to be a complete rebuild job.


As part of a halftime show this year , Mike Brown should let season ticket holders give old PA a soap party on the 50 yard line ala Pyle in full metal jacket.

Hell, I'd buy tickets for that.

Glad to see they are looking at college oline coaches. There are some good ones out there.

I like Harding from the standpoint of what he has done with his talent.  The Broncos (at least in the past) got the more athletic linemen and did a lot of zone blocking schemes with pulling guards.  I don't think  that would be our strength.  That might have changed recently, though, as far as Denver goes.

I like Steve but i don't know how anyone couldn't put most all of the blame on PA. He is the one who hand picked
those players, he is the guy that ran that zone blocking scheme, he is the guy that tried to put square pegs in a
round hole when he picked players like Bodine who don't fit this scheme and couldn't coach his players up.

And Lazor is the one who finally changed from this scheme and we saw a bit of improvement.

I put the not starting the more talented players on both Marv and PA, has happened a lot here over the years.

Hopefully Lazor and the new O-line coach have better eye for talent and are allowed to start said players.

Aggressive directional blocking is clearly what Lazor likes to run and Harding definately fits this better than the Broncos OLC.

And thank God. You just watch how much better our O-line gets under Frank Pollack man.

Huge addition after some great subtraction...

I'm not religious on any level past something from somewhere created everything and whatever that thing is is "God" to me, but I've always found irony in atheists who spend much time thinking about and arguing over something they say doesn't even exist.

Oh, and, also people who take common expressions literally and use it as a platform to voice their off topic, insecure opinions are F'ing morons and beneath me.
