GIBBS LIVES Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 So far, I'm dissapointed about the line play I see. I don't see a surge by the offensive line on running plays and the interior of the Defensive line is as weak as ever. Now I know it's preseason but I thought that atleast we would see a better showing then what we're seeing so far from the lines. Right now, Charlie Garner (Buccaneers..first game of the regular season) is licking his chops looking at the interior of our D-line. And as far our running game is concerned, our line isn't giving Portis a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinster Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 I have to agree with you... I have watched the first game several times and it seems to me that the line when pulling moves to slow... To early to really judge but a new system = Lots of thinking and less instinctiveness.. They just need more time to Gel! Skinster!!!

lucky*13 Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 They will get going when portis carries the pig 20-25 times a game,bank on it.:dallasuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsCrunkin Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 don't worry about the line...this isn't gibbs's offense... I watched special on Comcast and Gary Clark said that in the preseason Gibbs doesn't give out the plays for that preseason game until the day before so they don't run them a lot... obviously Gibbs doesn't care about winning or losing in the preseason and he doesn't want to show his stuff... I think that may be why we haven't seen much out of the o-line...the d-line however is a problem and right now I don't see how to fix it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Happy Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 I thought the defensive line played fine. Griffin had a pretty good game, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parcells-Wallows Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 Pass protection looked good. Did we net any rushing yards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afparent Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 Hey the Dline did real well when the Panthers had 1 and goal from inside the ten. That was a good stand that should give them confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfchamp1 Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 Originally posted by Zero Cool I thought the defensive line played fine. Griffin had a pretty good game, in my opinion. Seconded. He is going to be a handful for O-Lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

halter91 Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 I hope your right SKINSCRUNKIN. I'm not too worried, they've only had a week or so. Week 4 I might be a little nervous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIBBS LIVES Posted August 15, 2004 Author Share Posted August 15, 2004 By week 4 and 5, I need to see more from those units. Or we are in for a long season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atloldskin Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 You just lost Jansen and Gibbs is playing a plain vanilla offense right now. It is so obvious when Portis will run the ball. Hang in there and give Bugel some time to jell this OL. I too, have not liked what I've seen. We all want them to be blowing people off the line of scimmage. But I will be patient.

GIBBS LIVES Posted August 15, 2004 Author Share Posted August 15, 2004 I don't need to see that much because it is preseason but the O-line has NO push on run plays. And the D-line's interior is bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronMike Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 K. Jones did not appear to be able to handle the RT position. No one else Bugel put in was able to do so either. We look slow and out of sync. No one on the DL impresses me. I see some effort from the 3rd stringers, but none of them can beat their opposing OL one-on-one and break thru to pressure the passer. I know we are playing vanilla "D", but one of the DL must step up and be able to pressure the QB without stunts, blitzes, and schemes. The DL is soft in the middle. :2cents: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octane67 Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 O-line needs lots of work... gave up 3 sacks.... little push on running plays... could not seal off the backside rusher when pulling the guard. 2 fumbled snaps. overall just had no rhythm or rhyme. I don't even want to talk about the d-line but it is still early plenty of time for the coaches to get things going in the right direction.
