ny33 Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Did anyone watch the o-line closely? Glenn had some great blocks, particularly the pull to the left that gave Spiller room to run despite the latter's hesitation to move upfield on the play. I thought that Wood was weak, which didn't help Spiller; that's in addition to his poor snap to E.J. on a failed pass attempt midway through the game. If anyone watched the guards closely, I'd love some input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Paulson Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 i thought our offensive line did not run block well but we had 193 yards rushing i thought pass protection was fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattM Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Seantrel had a couple of inopportune holds today, but I guess that's to be expected of a rookie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM57 Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Seantrel had a couple of inopportune holds today, but I guess that's to be expected of a rookie Willie Young is a very underrated rusher IMO. very tough matchup for his first "real" NFL game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max997 Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 (edited) i thought our offensive line did not run block well but we had 193 yards rushing i thought pass protection was fine Overall they didn't run block that well, two big runs at the end of each half pushed the total up a bit plus EJs runs. Obviously they need to be better and hope they improve now that they finally have 5 that will be playing together after the merry go round in the preseason. I don't understand why this offense has so much trouble with screens Edited September 7, 2014 by Max997 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangarang Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Not a bad performance. Some holding penalties that hopefully get cleaned up. Certainly didn't look like a dumpster fire like it did in the pre-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big C Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 A couple holds, Pears missed a block on a screen, but overall much better. Cordy will be in the discussion of best LTs by seasons end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Yea it was better than expected. For all the shifting and shuffling in pre-season looks like Doug might have hit on the right 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 I need to see better play from both Guards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 There were some penalties from 66 but I only heard Jared Allen's name mentioned once. Overall, they got the job done. Will need to get better though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voodoo poonani Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 I need to see better play from both Guards. +1 There was a screen to each side and Williams and Pears both whiffed on blocks that could have had some decent gains Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 I actually thought Chris Williams played quite well.... but I wasn't looking specifically at that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Cordy Glenn is elite. As I said in another thread, did Jared Allen even play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Overall they played decent to well. EJ had some time. The RBs had some holes. There were obviously some brain farts but overall I am excited. Because they held their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Lightning Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Cordy Glenn is elite. I am still certain there will be a thread saying we should move him to guard for to RT. Christ!

hondo in seattle Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 i thought our offensive line did not run block well but we had 193 yards rushing i thought pass protection was fine Agreed. Despite the stats, it seemed there were too few holes. Sometimes I wonder if Hackett is the bigger problem. Spiller's yard per carry has tanked since Hackett took over. I'm not sure Hackett knows how to draw up plays that create space for the backs without the offensive linemen winning every one-on-one battle.

thewildrabbit Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 I need to see better play from both Guards. absolutely! The thing is, i don't think that Bears D is anywhere near as good as it was under Lovie. The line gave EJ lots of time on lots of plays today. I still don't like the 3rd and one passing plays. Some good play calling , and some of last years crappy play calling mixed in. Next the smelly fish...who just beat up the Patriots! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
