O Line

[Rockinganker]

Seems to me like the O-Line tends to get tired and lazy when needed the most. Week in and week out they give up the big play to the other team. Not sure if Gibbs is going away from max protect or if the guys up front just don't have it in them to close out a game. I tend to watch the games more then once (for fun) but I notice Portis has to bounce and make his own plays most of the time. The D-line on the other hand is a walking nightmare. I could stand back there and throw the ball on this line.


P.S.
The thought of LA coming at me would make me crap my pants.

It's difficult for me to understand how you can max protect, run two man pass routes, and expect to get receivers open. Teams have been giving us trouble just rushing their front four, and at that rate you have seven other players to cover up two receivers, The odds just dosen't seem to be in our favor. That's why our QB has to hold the ball so long because usually there's no one open.

We should at least release Robert Royal and send him out on a pass pattern. Its not like he tries to block anyone anyways.
