So with all the poo-pooing going around I thought I'd had a little bit of positive. I'm not giving stats- just giving three areas of focus to where our OL should be much better. Lets face it, it'll be tough to be worse. Anyway, here goes:
Coaching:
If you would like to defend the last 8 games of Mike Sherman go nuts. I don't. His play calling was predictable and made our offense one sided. Ryan Tannehill threw the ball way more than any 2nd year QB with little experience should, and the defenses knew it. They pinned their ears back and really laid into an already weak OL. Sherman couldn't even call/coach effective screens to alleviate that. So, enter Lazer. I think we are all hopeful that he will be more innovative, and make better use of players than Sherman. +1 here
Personnel:
Albert > Martina or McKinnie
Shelley > Cog (run especially...should be a big help)
Pouncey = Pouncey
Dallas Thomas? = Jerry
Draft Pick > Clabo
This looks, for now, to be what we can expect as the OL. I see 2 or 3 obvious improvements in players with maybe 1 downgrade. Better players will be a big help.
Distractions:
That bullygate crap will be done.
That's my $.02....seems like an up arrow to me.
