A lot of what we are seeing in the offense in the first year is a vetting process for Gruden this year to really find out what pieces we have here and what pieces need to be replaced.

Hopeful he realizes the entire right side of the Oline and we need another TE are the obvious.

To Hell with Gruden's schemes! I want to win now, this week, against Dallas. If it takes flea-flickers, Statue of Liberty plays, whatever, do it. I do not want to see another disaster on National TV - especially against Dallas.

lol...ok ok, yes I want to win now too. Im just trying to give you an explination of why the offense is struggling in general. Its tough for any 1st year head coach to win right away.

I commented earlier in the week that the red zone offense sucked this weekend, Id like to see Reed used more and Roberts/Djax in motion pre snap more to get their speed going in the small space of the red zone.

Colt McCoy has proven to be our QB of the future. He's almost as good as Pat White. Problem solved.

lol @ Pat White - another of this board's cause célèbre who is currently unemployed.

If only he, the other Colt, Marko Mitchell, Rob Jackson and Lache Seastrunk were still here. 7-0 baby.

Clark is done, Pittsburg wouldnt have let him go. His role is more a leadership void for the young guys.

We need to get serious about both safety positions, Id still look in the draft mid round and Id grab a legit starter in FA at preferable Free safety.

He is just waiting for us to call him back cause he knows it is meant to be.

Inconsistent QB play is always going to get you less than desirable results in the RZ.

If RG12 comes back....all is well
If RG13 comes back....well..

Wait, there is a RT worse than Polumbus?!? Wow.

Sorry, I used to stick up for the guy as being a middle of the pack RT. I can't even justify a "below average RT" rating anymore. He is a freaking turnstile this season - and barely that good.

[Lotus]

Polumbus is not bad as a run blocker. It's only as a pass blocker that he is an utter disaster.

To me, Compton is the real problem. We brought Polumbus in as a stopgap until Compton got ready. Compton should have sent Polumbus to the bench long ago.

Polumbus' failures are Compton's failures.

As to Polumbus, last year I would have agreed with you. This year, I have seen too many failures to seal the back end, too many failures to move his man of the spot when the play came his way, and too many holding calls/offsides on run-plays. The reason he was acceptable in the past was that he was competent on run plays. Perhaps that was due to scheme or better blocking from WR/TE/RB's, bottom line is that - this year - he has not even been competent in the run game.

As to Compton being the problem, maybe. This is his 4th year. He was a 6th round pick and was going to be a project no matter what. At this point, put him in - sink or swim.

As to the draft, again not disagreeing:
2014: 2 drafted, 3rd Round. Both regular inactives.
2013: None drafted.
2012: 3 drafted, LeRib (3rd) active but non-starting -unable to displace either Chester or Luavo; Gettis (5th) Steelers Practice Squad; Compton (6th) regular back-up, possible starter later this year.
2011: 1 drafted; Maurice Hurt (7th) Out Of Football
2010: 3 drafted; T.Williams(1st) pro-bowler; Eric Cook (5th) OOF; Selvish Capers (7th) OOF.


Total Picks 2010 - 2014: 42 (3:1st, 3:2nd, 5:3rd, 6:4th, 6:5th, 7:6th, 12:7th)
Total O-Line Picks 2010-2014: 9 (1:1st, 3:3rd, 2:5th, 2:6th, 1:7th)

One starter; two back-ups (LeRib, Compton); two rookies.

Not a lot of development despite 20% of the draft picks since 2010 being spent on O-line. If Moses and Long develop, that would go a long way to mediating that failure.
