MartinC Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 It’s going to be fascinating seeing who starts tomorrow on the O’line. Could be 3 new starters, almost certainly 2. If Bill can get the line to protect Kirk tomorrow and do enough in the run game to allow us to run play action he will deserve a big raise.

benskins26 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 So far Long, and reports of Trent. And possibly Scherff and Moses as well. Nightmare. How many teams are able to win games with 4/5 lineman out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyHolt Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I guess they held out on making moves as long as they could, but it was easy to see this coming. This, or TEs playing OL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't even look really look forward to seeing Roullier play - this is like being thrown into the fire doused in lighter fluid. Ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are used to Trent missing some games and we typically don't miss a beat because of Nsheke. His injury really hurts. I notice at times the Cowboys like to stunt like mad against our O line -- I gather they think that's Callahan's teaching weakness? I say that because I recall before the first matchup between the teams, a Cowboy coach was asked about the Callahan factor and his response was yeah he knows our personnel but we know him so it evens out. That game they ended up stunting like mad. I'd presume that approach will go double today considering we got a rookie starting at center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redskinss Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I am here to say that I officially put no blame on kirk for his horrible performance today. It's incredibly difficult to throw touchdowns with your face in the dirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carex Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I always figure guys who are questionable will play, so I'm hoping Moses and Scherff play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BatteredFanSyndrome Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 TJ Clemmings scares the hell out of me. I get flashbacks to his spot duty in KC where he was immediately driven backwards allowing instant pressure on 3rd down. That's about all I know about him. Ugh.

RandyHolt Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Bill, and what offensive line? I am thinking it may be best to use Brandon and Moses as backups today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LavarArringtonMachine Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Two things that we have working on our behalf even with a banged up O-line. The Cowboys will be licking their chops knowing the injury situation and will become extra agressive. Whats the remedy for aggresive defenses? The screen play to Thompson!! Thats the most effective play we have in our playbook. The second thing we have going in our favor is the bad weather that is supposed to come. The footing wont be as clean for the Cowboys pass rush.

carex Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Skins need to dress everyone who can play OL. We only dressed 4 WRs once before, do the same this week. After benching our 4 ijured OL, all we'd have to leave inactive is Quick, Sprinkle and Holsey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I like Thompson a lot, but I'm not sure he's anywhere near the guy he's been without the oline out in front on those screens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah. They will rush 4 or 5 and sit on the short routes. They will expect to have someone win against backups without much blitzing. They will stunt a lot though, try to confuse inexperienced players. They will give us some deep shot oppprtunities though, dare Kirk to hold it. Finally screen passes require your O’line to be in synch and good in space.

skinzplay Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Lots of changes have needed to be made to that line, predating Callahan. It's slowly being done, but not completely to my liking. But then again, it takes time to get all the parts. I'll be watching Roullier closely this Sunday. I want to see what the guy can do. If Long can eventually move over to LG, our interior could be in good shape for a while. I've never been sold on Moses, and doubt that anything will change in that regard.
