So a TON of people *****ed about Langston Walker

[Tatonka]

people were (with justification) pissed we signed Langston and passed on Darwin.. i think i was one of those people, although, i wasnt real vocal about it.. i thought we overpaid for a piece of crap lineman..

i have to say, i think langston played very well and will only get better with more time.

really Center is the only spot i would change, and i wouldnt even be mad if they left the line totally the way it is.

I think they played great this year.

They played well but need to work on blitz pick up. That is the only real shining flaw I noticed in the last few games, to include blocking by the backs.

I talked to McNally before the season. He was very high on Walker. He said the fans don't know the half of it of what went on in Oakland with him. He said he would definitely be the right tackle. That was when some were mentioning him playing rg. I also agree that Walker has played well imo.
McNally also said before the year that Peters would be in the Pro Bowl. I guess he was right.

I think the line as a whole got better as the season progressed and got continuity with each other. I don't think they are in the upper echelon of O lines go in the league but they are definitely much better than last year and from where they began the season and are in the top half of the league.

Agreed. I want to hear their comments now...

That being said, on the whole, the entire Oline has to improve on run blocking. I don't know if McNally can help them though. I'm kind of thinking that is not skill they are lacking but strength. They have been working so much on speed and holding their opponent in place, that they haven't placed emphasis on the weights and in pushing their man around. I'm hoping they get a serious off-season strength program to condition them for next year!!!

Make em lose weight but stronger so they can pull and run at least five yards down before Lynch gets there ahead of them.

I didn't have a problem with this signing.

Re: So a TON of people *****ed about Langston Walker

I've liked our line for the most part this season compared to the past few seasons.
I figured this was a make or break year for McNally I think he's done enough to keep his job.

Re: So a TON of people *****ed about Langston Walker

I remember arguing with a Raiders fan on here about him. I mentioned he was getting beat so bad because he had to pick up the slack for the rookie next to him and the guy just started praising the rookie and how good he looked. Classic case of the Penningtons.
