Holy geez... This OL is abysmal. I didn't think they'd be this bad but so far Miller has three penalties, Groy whiffed on a sack, Bodine got walked right into Allen's lap for a sack, Newhouse on the left is getting zipped by nearly every play, Ducasse can't sustain a block... Is it really Mills right now who's played the best of the OL so far? Cripes. If this carries over into the regular season, adios Castillo, who I've felt since day one was one of McDermott's "bleh" hires. 

 

What's up with Dawkins? Did I miss something with an injury or did they wanna see Newhouse out there?

 

Damn. One way to fix these OL issues is a short, quick passing game which plays better to Peterman's skill set than Allen's.

The biggest issue is good OL help is difficult to find.  Most people are not letting good OL walk unless they already have someone else in the pipeline ready to play.

I agree but from I am seeing things can’t get much worse.

Maybe it is better to redshirt Allen this year after all. He will NOT make it through the season. Let Peterman and McCarron die behind this line this year. Start over again next year. Beane did NOTHING with the OL this off season. They will get everything they deserve. 

 

And who do you think will start once Peterman or Allen get hurt?

Allen also not handling the rush well. There are times you have to get the ball out. He is just holding it.

People B word when we throw short of the sticks so on 3 and over 20, it takes a little bit for a play to develop. So what do you want a dump off or a play that gets you a first down?

luckily, our Defense is good, right????

The offense and punting are doing them any favors.

He has less than 2 seconds to get the ball out every drop back. That isn't his fault. It's not like he's standing back there with a clean pocket for 4 seconds because he's indecisive.

I agree with this. Blocking is not good, but the ball needs to come out faster.

I thought on the bootleg he should have checked down but 3rd and 30 he needs more time.

Allen has looked horrible.

 

He's been a complete deer in the headlights today. 

That happens when you have a guy in your face before you complete your first read.  I don't think AJ or Peterman would have looked any better.
