Virgil Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 I was wondering about this. I don't remember anything happening which would make me think he needed to be pulled. I'm very interested to hear more about this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not at the table Karlos Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 I saw him on the left side a lot towards the end with Williams at RG and Bates?(71) at RT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach Tuesday Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Could’ve been winded or overheated. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Lightning Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 I thought they were just moving the big guys in and out because of the heat. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has always been about the foot speed. Being able to nullify the speed rushers, and being able to effective pull from that guard positions are areas of weakness in his game and limits some of what Daboll can do with him in the run game. I like the kid, but it is going to take some time for him to develop to where we need him to be... I do think offensive linemen can get into better shape and get faster under an NFL training and nutrition regimen. I am willing to give him time, but they may want to try other options from time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PetermansRedemption Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Having Diggs/Brown/Davis lessens the sting, but I really wanted Metcalf where they took Ford. He was my draft crush that year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroutDog Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 (edited) There was nothing wrong with the line today. Josh was sacked once and, generally, had plenty of time to throw. Non-story in my opinion. Plus over 100 yards rushing. Edited September 20, 2020 by TroutDog 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that was my assumption. 90 degree temp with 90% humidity - that can be tough. When I was a soldier at Fort Stewart, GA, we hated field training during 90-90 days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Murphy mentioned this during the radio broadcast. With the heat and humidity they planned on rotating to keep guys fresh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njbuff Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Sure seemed like they were rotating the OL due to the oppressive heat and humidity down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rochesterfan Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 It looked like they were rotating guys all day. Lots of heat and humidity. Not sure he was benched - I think he was out and then went in for Spain on the next drive to give him a breather. Lets hold the hot takes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fixxxer Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 I think I saw #71 Bates at times in the 4th QTR. I would say I saw him at LG, but I can't tell for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebandit27 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 I noticed it. He was mostly brutal today, but he did have a really nice pulling block on a wham play that Moss took for 10 IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were rotating the big boys at guard. I was at a game in Jax where they substituted the OL all day long. I nearly passed out in the stands. It was purely a matter of survival. The heat is bad, the humidity kills. (I actually happen to love that weather.) 12 minutes ago, TheyCallMeAndy said: Looked to me as Knox may have been benched too I think Knox had a concussion. .

I'm not sure which plays you were referring to, but there were a few goal line plays with Bates lined up as an extra tackle, next to either Williams at RT or Dawkins at LT.
