All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Has the actual STARTING Oline even played together?
Nope, first Williams was missing, and then Jennings. But the interior has been together for quite sometime now....I guess if you count practice they have.

I might be totally wrong on this but i saw the replay last night, while i didnt pay close attention because i was at a bar and we were getting um...drunk but it seemed like all the problems were coming from the left side of the line, particularly tackle, where Sullivan was playing. I dont think this whole O-Line is as bad as people are saying, but like i said i didnt see the whole game, so someone can correct me.
Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

Exactly.
It was Sullivan that struggled last night... and there were a few problems picking up the blitz.
You're right, I am a coward! I haven't any courage at all. I even scare myself.
That sounds better than I've read recently. Didn't realize that JJ was still out.
The most important thing is how they start the season. So much of that position is mental: the attitude and ferocity it takes to win in the trenches. That only comes with confidence, which is bolstered by success. If they can hold their own vs. JAX and push them around a little, and survive Big Ted & Sapp in Oakland, I'll be happy.

Remember that for quite a while the team was still trying to make the Pucillo experiment work. Villarrial also missed time. Teague has been the iron man of the unit. Who'da thunk it?
They have a chance to be together Thursday if Jennings' ankle is OK. I hope that will make a difference.
I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.
I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.
Jacksonville has NO PASS RUSH. We should be fine in regards to protecting Bledsoe in that game.
Stroud and Henderson are both solid at stopping the run and can penetrate the pocket from the middle - that's exactly what we had problems with last year.
That first game is going to be a really good test for the middle of our line ... Jax's DE's didn't do much last year, so assuming Douglas is done, we won't have a problem outside, but those DT's are gonna be tough.
