Our Lines are HORRENDOUS.
I will keep this short. How are we expected to win with the putrid play from our lines. We are worst in the league gaining .45 yards before contact on the offensive side of the ball. Furthermore, we are 2nd worst having RB's met at or behind the line of scrimmage. We all see this. Our guys do not have a shot. Is Jeanty hurt? I think he is but it matters not. Bo could not run behind this shit show. It does not end there. Our DL has been equally bad as well. We average a league worse over 2 yards per carry before making contact with the RB. Think about that for a second. I do not care how much talent you have elsewhere. You can not win with what we have.

As bad as the oline has played we are a high scoring team offensively. Its need attention for sure.
But
The defense is at the bottom of points allowed and rushing yards allowed. Even a middle of the pack defense the team would be 6-2 and heading for a playoff spot.
Fixing the defense is the priority.
I know both can accrue at the same time, but if given a choice between a stud nose tackle and a stud WR1, I would take the tackle at this point in time.

It all starts in the trenches. By and large we have taken a substantial step forward this year, but with slightly better line play I think we could have been a serious threat to make the playoffs.

I liked the look of Tim Keenan on Sunday & hope he keeps getting reps cause there could be a player in him but he does look like he has a limited ceiling
Keenan & Hemingway once up to scratch could develop a nice partnership in the middle
Would love to see Pegues get more reps as every time he gets some see him he seems to flash some talent
Fix the interior & i think everything else will get better with it
As for the OL i just think we need to throw some cash at FA next year & make it the focal point of the offence to help Mendoza when he takes over & help the run game

Not breaking news. We know. We are scoring at a high rate. Cousins has time to pass. DT is just awful. Really bringing the while D down. I feel a lot better about the team than last season. Everyone knew this was not an overnight fix

Kevin Dotson from the Rams should be available as the resigned Avilia and they cant afford both. Alec ANderson from the Bills would be a nice fit. Bekhi Becton deserves some monitoring going forward.

We see it and I'm sure Kubiak sees it. I think our draft is going to be almost all OL and DL. If Becker is there in the 1st we take him then just big boys after that.

The guard and DT thing is crazy, I feel like we haven’t been good there in a very long time.
