I'm so confused!!

fools keep quoting. But I imagine it's that Kurt Warner played so much like Jake Plummer that causes them to do that.

From what I have seen Kolb is doing a better job moving up in the pocket, but still struggles with this and the speed in which he works his progressions. Because of this, our average at best offensive line looks even worse.

Personally, I like our tackle situation in Levi Brown, Bobbie Massie, Nate Potter and D'Anthony Batiste. Is it perfect? No, but it has a nice mix of ages and athleticism, and there are parts to work with. Our interior line is where I think we need the most work. We have three finesse interior linemen which leads to plays getting blown up in the backfield. I think Sendlein, Colledge, & Snyder are all capable starting linemen in the NFL, but together I think they are a recipe for disaster.

Be ready to see a bunch of 5 man rush packages as the season progresses because, from what I have seen, our offensive line struggles winning one on one match ups, Kolb has a tendency to panic at times, and our wide receivers are slow to get seperation.

As I was running through the plays of the first three quarters, I can say with no equivalence that Miami brought a lot of five-man blitzes. A lot of them. The offensive line through three quarters did a remarkable job of keeping Kolb clean. Kolb, to his credit, largely did a good job of not getting flustered.

Where the OL has struggled in the past is handling stunts and timing blitzes. I think that we've been lucky in our opponents so far in that they've had some new defensive coordinators or are just not pressure defenses. Those blitzes take some time to work out and the timing has to be JUST right, or it can be a really big play.

It doesn't help when our running backs are all pretty inexperienced in pass blocking and seem to struggle with their timing of how long to help vs releasing to the flat. Dansby got his sack because, despite being in man coverage, he decided to rush Kolb as the RB took too long to release to the flat.
