What happens if we come back home against the cowboys and

[dlockz]

are we a zone blocking team? if so that isn't about strength is it? more about timing?

whatever we are moving the line all around again and plugging pieces in year 4 is quite alarming. Sparano needs to fire his oline coach then resign

I don't understand why people are worried about Long, he's practicing with the team, they don't want to play him till week 1 but if he's practicing that means he's healthy

im still worried because he has been pretty banged up

The o-line has a great showing at home this next upcoming game? than what will be the problem here? will it be incosistency? will be it be a lazy effort against tampa? or will it be that tampa was just an underrated young upcoming tough defense.

imo no doubt that Tampa Bays Defence is a young ,strong, and up and coming D but still they shouldnt have been able to do our OL like they did to us . i mean there was atleast 2 dl in the bk field almost every play

preseason showed us last year that the offense was bad and it carried over into the season. Preseason this year has showed us that the offensive line is really bad and it will most likely carry over into the season. Carolina' s D-Line is the worst in the NFL and I'm not buying off nights etc. and that's a shame because it will make our back and QB play look worse that they actually are.

i hope i don't see the starters for more than a series...only guys i might give a longer look is reshad jones and clemons...for one final look before i decide who starts for me week 1

jake long should sit thursday out...period...as should a lot of guys

Tampa has a nice front 7 that put on a great show against the OL. When Long returns in week 1 you'll see a much better line. No question that conditioning is a key here. Vernon Carey is slow and lazy and I'm more concerned with him then RT. I really don't understand why Sparano is so stubborn about this OL. I am tire of hearing "it's fixable." IMO the way to fix it is cut that fat *** Carey, bench Columbo, move either Garner or Murtha to RT and sign O'Hara.

One great LT does not make a 5 man line a good line.

When Long comes back Murtha moves back to the right and gives them more options. It's hard to get a feel for where the OL stands with Long out.

I think the Oline didnt expect tampa to be this good, and we were jsut caught off gaurd. regardless we need to improve especially against NE's dline.

You mean when our 1's got owned by Tampa's 2's at the start of the 3rd? Did they not expect their 2's to be that good?

They suck, Henne sucks we suck, you suck, I suck...blah blah blah. Tiresome, bro'.

It there were problems with scheme and players not executing...then that could happen. That isn't the problem though. These guys are getting beat physically in their 1-on-1 battles. So, it isn't going to happen...these guys suck!

So, why don't you tell me how great this OL is. C'mon...go ahead tell me all about. Show me how I just don't know what I'm talking about.

You know why us "haters" use "sucks" all the time...because when we try explaining things in football terms there is a bunch of morons who just don't get it. We get tired of trying to explain everything to people who will just never get it.

By the way...your post sucks too!

I am not sure at all how you know anything about my amount of football knowledge. Obviously the O-line looks like a big concern, not sure why you think I said they were great. I am hopeful that the situation will improve. If you are concerned about all the "morons" on this board that wouldn't be capable of comprehending your astute analysis, perhaps a board exists somewhere for smarter people. You know, like you.
