Ireland is a proud man, he is reaching for straws with Mckinnie but how can BM be any worse than Martin this season esp. as a run blocker...
Why did we wait until after bye to trade for O'line help?

Who knows why we traded for McKinnie but it shows a failure on two parts. Martin fail at LT and Clabo fail at RT. Now the replacement was replaced for his failure in Baltimore. So none of this is good news. Just trying to patch a huge hole with very leaky patches.
Our oline shows the biggest weakness of our GM but oh well its never his fault.
I agreed with letting Long go at that price but we now have spent close to six million to replace him just this year and neither LT we have played is better than him

No it's RT's fault

Of course not because RT should line up another 10 yards in backfield so it takes a whole 3 seconds for the defense to get to him. The qb takes some fault but we are replacing linemen because its thier fault. The coaches watch the tape , the linemen are not being replaced at thier positions because the qb is causing the sacks. Anyone thats blaming RT for all these sacks is really not watching the games. If you think RT is the problem you should be pulling for the coach to be fired because thats definately not how he is seeing it.

Because ireland doesn't want talent, he wants "value" and "acorns".
They want a championship team filled with mediocre players and there is NO WAY that happens.

McKinnie gave up a single sack through 5 games this season...Clabo never had a single game in which he did NOT allow a sack. McKinnie > Clabo is simple logic, regardless of the two playing on opposite sides of the line.

If McKinnie was playing so well why did they relegate him to bench.
I think the answer is obviious he wasnt playing well.
He may be better but they both suck.
Not to mention it means Martin is not very good either

Being my sarcastic self
Ya kind of caught that late. I just dont get how the oline keeps getting worse.
Next coach better not be a line guru
we should of been the ones trading for monroe not the ravens ,if we had a GM with a bit of knowledge , the o line was a weakness throughout pre season ,
things were so bad we missed john jerry !!
ireland sat on his rear end and ended with a panic purchase of mcKinnie imo!!!!!!!!!!!
