lol we still on the Hurts SB…. hurts has to get better, as does the play calling, D and everything else.

I thought you didn’t believe that mattered. You stated it was all Oline.

On the tush push yeah

Well not if he’s injured in the crucial game or moment. But think we have a better RB 2 now. Gotta get this kid up and running to be easy.

Gains is the 2

I really really really hope we limited this play I don’t want to get rid of it completely but I don’t think we need to risk our QB or our OL guys in the 2nd qtr on 3rd down to get a Td just run it with a RB

Hoping this doesn’t stay lol though Gains would likely be a key piece still since he is the only other RB that can pass block besides Bark.

But hope otherwise Ship overtakes Gains for RB2

You were saying the RB didn’t matter it was all Oline. You weren’t alone. But we definitely are going to see how a lesser Oline and a top RB works out.

If it was up to Siri still? He’d  be RB1 again…however that happened…but it did.

Yeah believe this play really wears on our guys. It wears on our opponent…but our Oline and QB at the bottom of that vicious pile all the time.

Kid has that burst. Gains is fine and pretty solid. Just doesn’t have that burst. Shipley finds a lane it will be a big play. I know No Mas  will point out my worrying but just don’t want to overuse Saquan..especially early in the season. So would like to see the backups contribute meaningfully.

Not even May…but this team has gotten so close…on paper…but getting close to real contending level team.

Felt like it played a role in our guys wearing down towards the end of the season.

Maybe we just put Becton beside Mailata and Dickerson. Those three would be like a skyscraper falling on top of the D.

And Hurts wouldn’t be able to see over the entire left side…. Big area that needs improvement is attacking the middle of the field hard for a barely 6’2 QB to throw on OL guys that are are 6’6+ 

Mailata what 6’8

Becton 6’7

Dickersln 6’6

I was referring to The Brotherly Shove. I think your point is a real concern with Becton. I’m sure you’ve considered the thought of him possibly playing RG. Him and Lane side by side is some serious beef coming at people. That would be both sides of the line just massive large beings having their way.

Steen is like 6’6” 320lbs himself though

Lane pretty much the same

Saints and Brees were masterful at moving the QB around to be able to see the entire field have to study them….

Well since clearly I wasn’t think of just a single play but the unit as a whole my first thought came to the effects on the passing game mainly the middle of the field which is already an area we lack in.

Ideally for a single play the benefit could be fine but we aren’t going to have an OL package like that for a single play 

Jurgens the only peak hole on our Oline at 6’3”. I’d actually say Hurts is only 6’1”. That’s why they have a taller model as the prototypical QB. It’s a real limitation for him.

Having the three of those guys side by side I obviously was referring to that specific play. But we could use it for a more traditional Jumbo package.

It’s just insane the size these Oline guys are now. How big were the old Hogs Oline back in the day mauling people? Weren’t even close to the 6’8” 360 pounders.

Ignore the bottom part…the top is the old Hogs Oline dominated in the ‘80s
