If The Offensive Lineman You Drafted Can't Beat Out This Current Group

then I have to question your ability to draft. You passed up multiple opportunities to select offensive linemen early on and settled for some later in the draft.

We dont know what we got, all of our coaches are dumpster tier. Im so sick of getting rid of players who supposedly sucked here and they go on to be decent players somewhere else. Our coaches are awful now and have been awful for a long time.

A former Raiders seventh rounder, Brittain Brown with 37 rushing yards (on 5 carries) and a tee dee today for the Bears.

I just read that Putnam has trouble against quicker linemen.

Hard to imagine but statistically this is far from the worst offensive line in the NFL this season. Run blocking has long been an issue for this OL but Smith is making them look worse than they are. Not that I don’t agree with upgrading because Miller and JPJ can’t stay healthy and mid level still isn’t good enough as a top OL can be a difference maker especially if they break in a rookie QB.

After most plays, the line collectively looks confused and out of place. Is it coaching? Lack of intelligence? I dont know but they look like it's the first day of TC to me.

Why we are not playing under center is beyond me. Our rushing statistically is vastly better when we do.

Sets up the passing game, even for a split second.

He has trouble with the ones that run him over. He has trouble with his line call, sometimes him and Parham are blocking air....there are times where air beats Putnam.

We should look to next year's draft and see if we can bring in another fat ass to replace Parham. He won't be back.
