Offensive Line

[Finfan80]

Hey guys,

I did not get a chance to see the game today the way I wanted to, but one topic I am curious about is the OL. It looked like they did pretty well today against a Bears D which I thought would give us fits. Ronnie had room (and also made a lot of plays himself today, I have to give him props), Joey had time to throw the ball -no sacks!!

When we lose, I always see tons of threads on how bad our OL is. I haven't seen any on the OL today, does anyone have any observations good/bad? Who did well, who didn't? What worked? What were some of the differences in tactics or results from what we've seen in other games recently?

They played well on running and passing plays. Passing plays were mostly about short passing patterns. But, the run blocking was impressive against a very good defense. That LT/RG switch seems to have paid off.

The right side of our line was playing dominately today.

actually since joey replaced daunte our offensive line and running game has been better. the only problem has been joey throwing 50 times a game and he's not that good. a balanced attack was featured and lo and behold 6 turnovers, a pounding running game and we achieve the biggest upset of the season!!!

16/32 137yrds and 3 TD's... not a bad day for the Backup QB..:D

The O-Line was fantastic.

The O-Line was fantastic.

Agree, they really put it together for a real good Bears Defense. I would be nice if they could play like this on a consistant basis.

By the way, Ronnie was a Beast today as well.
