need advice.....

[Canadian'eh!]

Ok.... any advice would be appreciated...

I never planned to invest THAT much into my oline, as i thought some mid-later rounds picks were good enough to be enough to, not be dominant, but get me by. Looks like i was really wrong after they gave up 10 sacks in the last game. here's the depth chart.

it looks like Williams and Bell got schooled by Glover and Douglas. but i don't know which side for sure the played on....

any ideas?

I'm open to trading for a RG if someone has an extra solid one. Shawn Andrews will get injured of course.

[Devin]

Id look for another bookend, find yourself a solid RT. You dont need to upgrade the whole thing.

[Canadian'eh!]

Bell sems to be the weak link... 5.5. he's young and talented, and will start for ten this year. so he should be good next year, but i think he's too inexperienced to start right now.

def have a problem on the rt side.

[L.A. Playa]

Actually your problem could be recievers and Jamal getting hurt more than OL Bulger is a QB who takes alot of sacks and we all know about your backup

the WR's seemed to do okay... good catches by Jackson, Chambers and Crumpler.

Westbook did well recieveing too.... it was the complete lack of rushing by westbrook and the Sacks.

both of which are at least part of the olines fault.

[L.A. Playa]

Who is your FB ??? and it can depend on what sets you played, if you where in alot of passing situations they could have just teed off on Bulger

[L.A. Playa]

best advice i can give you is seek professional help its gonna be a long season lol

[Canadian'eh!]

FB is solid... Lechey.

i just need to find someone who has a descent backup at RG or RT that they are willing to trade.

[Devin]

What set did you run? 3WR? or 2 WR/1FB? How many TE?

May not be quality of blocking, maybe lack of blockers.

I think i ran a basic 2WR/1TE/FB/RB set....

definately gonna have to consider moving to a max protect if i can't upgrade the line.

I'm not gonna go completely off the deep end unless Jamal is out for a long time.

[Devin]

Dude my game should help then, because my linemen are all between 5-6.

So watch my stats in the preseason. If I have the same problem I will likely move to max protect as well.

[L.A. Playa]

my line is similar to yours and Mc Gahee went 30-165 yds so it may not be the line and I gave up 0 sacks

[Devin]

yeah true, O'Canada just watch the next game before you do anything drastic, could have simply been a fluke.

Especially if my line holds up ok.

[L.A. Playa]

Its gonna be interesting the intangables that the computer takes into consideration that we cannot calculate in stats. I know Terrence McGee is a great KO returner but honestly I'm shocked he had a KO for a TD in that game

[ryjam282]

Here's some advice. Ask PMACLA what he is doing. Hell, he scored 40. His line did aaaiigghhtt. Maybe you need to hire 50 cent away from him to get your line in shape
