The Dirtbags

dblanch66 · 10-06-2005, 03:24 AM

Quietly, our offensive line is having a strong beginning in these games. Granted they have given up some sacks and CP only ran for 90 yards last week (Betts had like, 34yds) but it must be taken into consideration that Jansen is playing with 8 FINGERS! I don't think Denver has faced an O line as good as ours yet. KC was missing Roaf and Jacksonville doesn't boast our talent. This will be the key to Sunday's game: How well the O line protects MB and opens holes for CP and Ladell will decide the game. As the season progresses and the line continues to jell, look out.

I am surprised that with the exception of the Chicago game, we have been winning thanks to our passing game. It seems like the boys are really pass protecting well, but not run blocking so well.

scowan · 10-06-2005, 10:15 AM

Someone please update me on Jansen's thumbs. I would like to think that first one he broke would be close to getting well. Wasn't it August when he broke it?

TheMalcolmConnection · 10-06-2005, 10:22 AM

I think it is. I heard that the one he first broke will be in a smaller cast very soon.

Big C · 10-06-2005, 12:38 PM

the run blocking has been average at best. pass blocking has been great

MTK · 10-06-2005, 12:43 PM

I'm really surprised we've struggled a bit running the ball. We definitely need to get Portis cranking soon.

TheMalcolmConnection · 10-06-2005, 12:57 PM

There's no reason for us to believe he will this weekend besides the fact that it's DENVER, but something is telling me he'll break out of it this weekend.

Maybe it'll be the fact that they won't be able to load the box because our passing game is so much better, I just feel it.

5RINGS · 10-06-2005, 01:03 PM

Jansen is playing with 8 FINGERS!

Uh, yeah...

What the hell does an OLineman need fingers for? To get holding penalties? I think they should put them in fingerless gloves and be done with it. There is FAR too much holding in the league, it is hurting the game.

The O line has been doing a good job. We only gave up 1 sack last week and that was in the 1st quarter. We need to be able to run the ball. If they want Brunell to last a season, they need to open some holes. The passing game looks alot better than last year, but I dont see a lot of different things in the run game. I dont see us running the zone runs that they were suppose to put in this offseason, no sweeps, very few if any screens. Portis is our playmaker w/ moss. We are getting the ball to Moss enough, but Portis is just not getting the ball in space where he is dangerous. maybe thats something that will come with time, but it hasn't yet.

Holding is an art, and dont tell me your lines have never held 5Rings.

#56fanatic · 10-06-2005, 01:38 PM

what are you doing showing your face on a Redskins website. The helmut NOT having a star on it should send a clue. Dont even talk trash on this site. You are not welcomed here. I didn't see any of those Dallas d-lineman getting past Jansen. Man, Jansen could be on one crutch and still hold off your team. get real, find a Dallas site!

I wasn't talking trash, I was talking about holding in the entire N-F-L.

Actually, that helmEt with a star comes from an option on this site, so I think the creators of this site envisioned something more than 1000 posts that say GO SKINS!!!!! And Skins 16-0!! WOOO!!

I just think that the amount of holding means that guys who are Massive can latch onto DLinemen and slow them up. If we got rid of the excessive holding then maybe OLines would not be averaging over 310 lbs in the league. In general I think that offensive line play has gone downhill since the late eighties and early nineties.
