The Offensive Line Thread

Orlando had a rough night vs eagles.
Yeah he did. Maybe it shouldn't worry me, but it does. We have a tendency to think that guys always have an upward trajectory, but that's not always the case.

It concerns me that Brown may have felt he had something to prove last year - that his combine showing and draft selection were not indicative of his talent. After a good season, I hope he doesn't think he's "arrived". The work to stay up with the big dogs never ends.
 
It was retarded going into this season with this oline group. Stanley and Yanda are both injury prone and likely wont play every game, what happens if they miss significant time?

We've got the shiniest new toy in the league and hes going to get worse protection than the Redskins gave RG3. Isnt that a cautionary fucking tale??

we better hope Ben powers turns out better than Phil Haynes, which I highly doubt.

Why is it we're not looking at Andrew Luck and RG3s careers as a warning about not protecting your QB?
Because the most promising qb prospect we’ve ever seen is retiring very early because he wasn’t protected until just last year. And rg3 shouldn’t really be a case lol, only a case about a qb protecting himself.

RG3 was rushed back onto the field long before he should have been by an incompetent team and an incompetent medical staff. That is what screwed up his career.

I think the focus next year will have to be on OL if guys don’t work out. We have Stanley, Yanda and Brown JR as very good options; however, there’s a lot of uncertainty elsewhere. Some guys could pan out and others may not. I expect a high pick to be invested in OL regardless next year.
