ybnorml Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I was listening to Vinny today and he said a good deal of practice is O line against D line. This had me thinking, WHY??? If your O line is sub par and your D line has no idea of what pressure is, then how can this remotely help? It has to only build false confidence. There has to be another way to improve. Any of you coaches out there have any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrypticVillain Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 LOL, that is a good thought. What if we just concentrate on one on one battles would that help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicious Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 We restart the Spartan practice of Agoge, it might take 20 years but it'll be worth it. Championships baby! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigmuss1 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 There is no practice that can be done to help a bunch of aged vets. We need Rhinehart and some young blood to step up and play on the o-line. There is no reason Rhinehart and Heyer shouldn't be playing, young quick feet will help this o line. They are struggling right now, it is time to give some other players looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRobi21 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Well it's not like the backups are anything amazing either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmuss1 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Well it's not like the backups are anything amazing either. Who knows, we have never seen Rhinehart play and Heyer is just sitting on the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCS Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Could have them practice against the cheerleaders, but that wouldn't help at all with the holding calls. Sigh. Probably have to stick with all that usual stuff like Vinny described. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redskinloyal_1 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Thats what im thinking a crappy offensive line versus a worst defensive line. Yeah that will help againist the loudest fans and patrick kerney and the seahawks. We will get killed next week lol. I got an idea lets sprint out and move the pocket a lil bit not just leave campbell sitting like a duck in a pond during duck season. We are lost as a offense whats new 4 years and counting.

Zen-like Todd Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 That reminds me of the offseason where we picked up Dana Stubblefield and Dan Wilkinson. Apparently they were getting all kinds of pressure during training camp practices. I remember saying to someone "that's either really good news, or really bad news". And we all know how that turned out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.T.21 will eat you alive Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 need to start practicing against the ravens. Its not that far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngloSackSon Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Are there any reports on Reinhart? I figured after camp, and preseason, that absence of reports probably indicated he did not impress Buges.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[[ghost]] Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 As compared to what? Who else would they practice against? Would you rather the DBs and WRs blitz? Its not like they can go up to Minnesota and practice against those guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you rather the DBs and WRs blitz?Its not like they can go up to Minnesota and practice against those guys. Like MLSKINS posted, one on one would probably help this team a little more. When you constantly practice against mediocraty, there is no way you can improve. Time to try another way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NomadicSkinFan Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 It can't hurt........ We should have the defense practice against the cheerleaders and have the offense practice against the training staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Lloyd Christmas Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 lol, this is pretty worthless. a bunch of guys who cant rush the passer vs a bunch of guys who cant stop the rush. i think our oline is more productive than our d line. and do half of these lines even practice during the week? im usually reading all of them sit out all week and then play on sunday.

Smoot Point Really Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 OLine versus the cornerbacks... Yes, that makes more sense. Or maybe we line up Colt Brennan opposite Chris Samuels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MassSkinsFan Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 My past experience on OL was that the line v. line and one-on-one drills would lessen during the course of the season as you got more banged up. Vinny may be referring to scrimmages, which is a bit different - just not sure. Anyway, as the live contact in practice decreased the other drills - focused on agility, conditioning and reaction - increased. At this point our OL really needs help with pass protection and I think it might be time for Heyer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttr77 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 They could simulate the last couple of games and have the o-line go out on Rt. 28 and try to stop the cars driving by @ 55mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooper Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 If Vinny hadn't spent the pass decade treating the trenches as a complete afterthought in the draft, we wouldn't have this problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
