The Offensive Line!!!

These guys are playing nowhere near the level they did last season. Our passing game hasn't been anywhere near as explosive because Warner simply doesn't have the time to find open receivers or them to get open. Throw in a lack of being able to run when the game, is on the line (outside of today) is disturbing.

Actually they are playing better than they were last year at this time. Compare the last 6-7 games rushing yards to last years same stretch. I bet we are better.

They are opening up enough holes in the running game to be successful and Warner wasn't exactly under pressure most of today. He was just plain off.

Warner has looked like 2005 Warner the past two games... He will snap out of it I believe...

I'm talking about how they are protecting Warner.

Levi Brown sucks grapes. That's all I got to say on that subject.

That first fumble by Warner was not Levi's fault IMO. He was pushing the DE wide right and outside just like you are supposed to do. Kurt backed up 10 yards behind the LOS and held on to the ball to long. All he had to do was step up. Levi did his job.

How about when he let Simms run right by him without being touched in the 3rd quarter to smash Hightower in the backfield?

sure did Shane. Just wondering if you thought he sucked.

I think he is like a teeter totter. Sometimes can play at a very high level. Others it seems as though he is at a very low level. :)

Clear as mud? :)

You just described this entire team. Real good or real bad.

Okay. Here it is. Given your response to this thread, I will ask the question.

Would you still take Levi Brown over Adrian Peterson? Just asking. Wanna see how delusional :D you still are on the subject.

Yes because we now have Beanie who is 3.5 years younger than AP and we have proven we can go to a SB with Levi playing and no Beanie! ;)

Why we should play well in the playoffs:

We play better against good teams as opposed to crappy teams.

the reasons based on recent performances if we don't fix them next two games:

- OL pass blocking
- Turnovers
- Warner does not look sharp
- Penalties
- Tackling

at the amount of $$$ he makes & his production, I would cut his ass when he is due his roster bonus & move on. Brown is mediocre at best as an NFL tackle!!!

I can agree with this. Levi is definitely the weak link on the line
