Graded the O-line from my game tape

I think when it comes to Peek and Babin and the non checking off issue, we have to remind ourselves that Capers seems to like to go very vanilla with his base formations. The good news is our offense has been able to move the ball quite a bit in that base formation.
 
OK, I'll say i went overboard on my post about cutting Wand. I do realize that we need as much depth as we can get on the OL. What i dont understand is how some of you can sit here and tell me the reason Wand was getting pushed around by linebackers that weight at least 50 pounds less than him was because he was playing a new position. Yeah, im sure that he had to "think about his assigment" as the linebacker pushed him right into Carr...
 
Milford Brown will probably be starting at RG against Dallas with Riley at left tackle. Until Weigert gets back, that's probably the best five. With Riley at left tackle we will continue to see a lot of two TE's. Whatever Wand's problem is, whether it's physical or mental, he obviously hasn't been performing well enough to run with the first team. I don't subscribe to the theory that the coaches are doing this to motivate him. It is what it is.

I don't subscribe to that theory any more either. Now it seems to me like another Marcus Spears experiment.
 
I'm still playing Madden05 as Madden 06 aint out yet. Put it on Pro mode and had 70 points against the steelers by the end of 3rd quarter...Dave Ragone was throwing 65 yards passes to AJ....450 yards through the air.....and no sacks.......well it kept my happy whilst the better half was at her mums
 
Taped last nights Cowboys game and got a chance to replay it this afternoon,
atleast the first half when the starters were in the game. The O-line didn't
do too badly and Riley played descent against DeMarcus Ware, the rookie
pass rushing phenom over across from him on the weak side. Ware is supposed to be the real deal, but he is a rookie and is no Freeny at this point in his career, but its encouraging to see Riley hold his own. I'm hopeful he can give DCs tail some pass protection, we know he's a strong runblocker. He got some help, they had a TE over with him from time to time, but I'm encouraged.
 
That is good news and that the "D" was working fairly well. Those coupled with some offense execution improvement and that could bode well for us.
 
Okay I will duck as soon as I say this but I thought Wand did a decent job filling in for Weigert at the RG position. Our running game looked nice because of it and David stayed clean. If Carr doesn't make that bad INT and slide for more yardage we get a TD out of that drive. I just hope they redeem themselves this week.

Milford Brown started for Weigert against the cowboys.
