Any OLine experts that can offer an opinion on the guard and center play today.
 
The line looked worse with him in there than it has all year, doesn't really surprise me though because Pouncey is the most overrated lineman in the league due to name recognition alone.
 
There is going to be an adjustment period. I know people think these players are going to "plug in and play", but it does not work that way.
 
I need to rewatch the whole game. On the goal line I remember seeing satale pushed back like 3 yards on a runplay or two

Thank you!
 
The packers were very good today pushing the middle of the line, often with superior numbers. They stopped the short yardage that way. Pressure came from blitzing, so again we have a numbers imbalance. Overall I think the line played alright.
 
Just wondering, I saw some issues in the middle but also some good stuff. I wonder what they'll do next week against Chicago regarding line. I will be at Soldier field as its a bday present from sis and law.

Pouncey sucks. We should have shipped his sorry ass somewhere last year as I suggested.

He is a low grade moron with poor character that brings this team down. His play does not warrant his contract and certainly does not warrant putting up with him as a person.

The guy I wanted to draft, Brian Stork, I believe is the starting C for the Pats. I think they got him in the mid rounds. He was the C for FSU.
 
He looked small out there. I planned to save the tape and watch Pouncey play after play early this week but after the disgusting way we lost I threw away the tape. I'm leaving on a short trip on Thursday and don't need to aggravate myself beforehand.

I did notice that Pouncey accidentally played a big role in a vital play late third quarter. We trailed 17-10 and I was worried that if Green Bay got the ball back quickly they might score again. Tannehill on second down barely avoided a big sack, and then escaped to his right to hit Wallace for a huge gain. Pouncey was beaten on the play but while chasing the blocker who defeated him he ended up behind Tannehill. When Tannehill was spun around by the defensive lineman he was thrown smack into Pouncey and it stopped Tannehill in his tracks, allowing him to regroup and escape. I was convinced if Pouncey hadn't been there Tannehill would have been thrown back further toward the goal line and to the left, probably changing the way that play unfolded, and not in our favor.
