I want Big Mike at LT.

[Earthquake Enyart]

Behind him and Ruben, they should be able to get a yard when they need it. Even if they only lined Mike up at LT on third and short, it would be worth it. I don't understand why he didn't play a little LT during the preseason.

mmmmm, BLT

[Tatonka]

he can barely play RT as is.

[Disgustipatex]

He would get smashed. He's having a hard enough time facing the Left Defensive ends of the world, much less the more talented RDE's. How's he done against upper tier LDE's(Pryce, Strahan off the top of my head). I know Ogunleye schooled him.

I think he could do better if he had a RG next to him that could actually play in this league.

BLT and a ruben.

Schoble got 2 sacks against Tra Thomas, a Pro Bowl LT, and they were NOT coverage sacks, sometimes linemen get beat, sometimes they have dumb assignments and sometimes they just blow one.

I won blame pucillo for everything but I dont think he is any better than sullivan at RG he may have a little on pass blocking but he is nowhere close to sullivan on run blocking.

[Earthquake Enyart]

My point is that with Pucillo or Sullivan next to him, they can't get the sure yard. Their only chance is to put Mike next to Ruben.

Unfortunately, up to this point in the season, NONE of the interior linemen have been impressive in the run blocking, Ruben included. They all seem to get overpowered and end up in the backfield. That's why we've seen so many plays this year where the lead blocker is being met about 3-5 yards in the backfield, which is killing the play before it even starts (probably a big reason we're not seeing Sam Gash as much as we'd like). Williams is better suited to play the RT, because he cannot handle speed rushers, and that's all he'll see on the left side. His run blocking has been okay this year, but there's no help from guard to guard, which is a major reason we're not able to run well.

It's also where most of the pressure is coming from on Drew. The book on Drew states that if you get in his face you can beat him. That's why we're seeing so much pressure up the middle. We need to fix it before we face any more teams with good DTs.

Hell yeah! It has to be a real pain in the ass playing TWO line positions at the same time on every freakin' down!
