desertbeagle85 Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Can we trade Williams for a LG. The Flowers experiment is about over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, thank you for responding the way you did, it is much appreciated. Hey, I hear you man. I just turned 30. No glory years for me and I grew up experiencing the same Snyder/Vinny hell as my formative football experiences as well. Nightmarish. And I did it in Patriots country up here too lol.

Hopefully there are some positIves in there, it seems he’s won the job at lg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCalMike Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 I actually thought the run blocking overall seemed better, unless it was just Guice using his speed & vision to make good runs out of nothing? The pass blocking however.......uh oh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So bad he managed to whiff a block I thought would be unwhiffable (Goal line TD that was called back - he had to turn and grab the tackle that just blasted by him untouched resulting in an obvious holding penalty. How the hell can you completely miss the guy you are supposed to block in a bunched blocking scheme at the goal line)? He whiffed on two additional pass protections as well and got an additional holding penalty to go with those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTskin Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Flowers had three awful plays. One was the hold, the other two were turnstyle block attempts. That was three awful plays in just one half. I don't care if he plays fine on 90% of the time, we're screwed if he makes these type of drive-changing mistakes every time he's out there. Our offense can be good, but we can't overcome this type of ****. We are cursed at LG. I hated Luavao but Flowers makes him look good. The grass isn't always greener...

Wes Martin is coming for that job unless Flowers really cleans up the situational issues. Like you said, 90% of the time is great but that 10% is an issue. Doesn't help that Jay is obsessed with that bunched formation bull**** that defenses are really good at stopping unless you have an elite OL.

If you're waiting for Martin to come along, then we're going to get 2 games of Lauvao, and then the rest is going to be Flowers starting until Martin comes along. Lauvao will never be healthy enough. He is the Colt McCoy of our guards, mildly okay when he's healthy, always too injured to put that mildly okay performance to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a journeyman QB starting so why not just go ahead and play Martin? If there's ever a time to let him develop, it's NOW! We're expected to win 4-6 games and aren't putting our first-round QB in harm's way. Play the young guys... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
