........the fact that all but 1 starting offensive lineman is playing in a position this season? I believe that was mentioned on MNF.

said the same thing before we even played a down this year. But actually when Deuce stepped back into the starters role it was 2.

It certainly hasn't helped, but there have been plenty of times when DA had no pressure and still was way off target. Hard to say how the line has impacted the run game since we never run the ball though.

DA had time to throw in the 49er game. He just couldn't make the throw many times. The Cardinals really need to draft and sign some top O-linemen. We need two tackles, one guard and a center. Unless Levi Brown is switched back to right tackle and then plays at least as good as last year he will need to be replaced as well.

I seem to remember those games last year where Peyton only played a quarter. Their great OL suddenly went to bad as the backup QB was getting sacked left and right. The point is, I think a good QB can make an average to poor OL look good to average.

Neither DA or Hall showed poise in the pocket and I don't know how many times I've seen DA step into pressure instead of using the pocket to get out of it. If you watch on the many shotgun plays, he always seems to do a 3-5 step drop even after already being back that far since it's in shotgun. The result is the Levi and Keith/Bridges look bad because DA gives the edge rushers a much better angle on himself.

Our QB's are given little time........maybe keeping the same unit together for another year in similar positions will help like it did in the past with us?
