SIXX99 Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 As a unit the offensive line was abysmal today, but what did you think about Mike Williams? I thought he played pretty good given the circumstances the O-Line had to face and most of our successful runs came on his side I believe. What were your thoughts from Big Mike's first start as a Skin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDoyler23 Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 They seemed to run right fairly often. I wish Postgameheroes still did those recaps on the O-line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Excuses Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 We had good success running to the right for once and that can be credited to BMW. I don't think he looked bad on passing downs either. The areas for immediate improvement are C and RT. Heyer might be the worst OT in the league.

JGordon_3 Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 He stinks in pass protection, but we already knew that. It did seem that most of Clinton's running yds came to the right side which is good. I can't say he's better than Rinehart though. What are we doing? Are we developing young players and building for the future or not? So f*in frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benskins26 Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 He seemed fine to me. The weak link in the Oline was clearly Batiste, who was in WAY over his head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soup Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 so-so, at times you could really see him push the line but on others he was just horrible (2pt play for the safety) When you see that he's off on one play and then does well in others than its a technique issue. The same problems he had in buff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stadium-Armory Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Saw a few bad plays, and a few good plays. Definately not a pro bowler, but not a complete disaster. I think the problem with BMW is his inabilitly to pull. Its helpful if you have athletic guards who can move around. He didn't appear to be one of those -- not yet at least.

Mooka Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 When I was paying attention I saw some very nice blocking. The Tackles were really struggling today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingGibbs Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 The OL failed as a whole. So IMO, no he did not play well. Our YPC shows that. Quite a few people said he would step right in and be a "mauler" in the run game. Didn't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Brown Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 so-so, at times you could really see him push the line but on others he was just horrible (2pt play for the safety)When you see that he's off on one play and then does well in others than its a technique issue. The same problems he had in buff that was heyers fault (aside from zorns fault for calling a fing stretch play on the goalline.) on the safety, he got blown back by peppers right into sellers and portis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theTruthTeller Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Skins averaged less than 3 yds a carry on 75 yds, to a team that gives up an incredible 155 yds per game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benskins26 Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 If we don't draft an offensive lineman with our 1st or 2nd round pick I think I will go crazy. Unfortunately, the 1st round pick is reserved for a QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmy Smith Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Zorn and Campbell both do very well together with a capable o-line: just look at last year's 6-2 start, before the wheels fell off after the o-line fell apart due to injuries. Unbelievable that Cerrato still has his job after not addressing our most glaring offseason need. Mike Williams seemed to play ok today, all things considered, but let's face it, we have a bunch of spare parts held together with chewing gum and duct tape for an o-line.

Forehead Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Generally, I didn't notice him, which is good with O-linemen. However, there was one play, I want to say a 3rd and 7 or something, where the Panthers only rushed four, but MW's guy tossed him aside and got to Campbell in a hurry. Campbell did avoid the guy but got knocked off balance and was only able to scramble for a yard or two gain. I'm sure there were plays where Williams did well, but like I said, the best O-lineman is the one you don't think about, because he's doing his job so you can watch the skill players. That was the play that really stuck out to me. I don't think he was any worse than Rinehart, that's for sure. Batiste was the one I noticed far too frequently.

Tulane Skins Fan Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 The entire o line, including Fat Mike Williams, was terrible. RG was a revolving door for Panthers linemen all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade7 Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Mike Williams should not be starting. If he works on his pass blocking, I wouldn't let him go. Him in jumbo with a quality offensive line is money. Again, he should not be starting on this football team. As long as he is, we know we're in trouble.

Buck812 Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 The whole OL was terrible today... We have two starters, Dockery and Samuels that doesnt need to be replaced next year. It wouldnt hurt my feelings to see the whole draft be OL.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stadium-Armory Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 <hindsight is 20/20> Wonder where we would be -- maybe not this year, but in the next couple of years -- if we had used some or all of the kelly, thomas, sleepy pics on quality young linemen. </hindsight is 20/20> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
