Draw plays, quick slants, place Cutler in the shotgun formation, go no-huddle. Do something because it seemed to me the Saints knew what was coming all game long. Like I said, you're the ONLY ONE that claims the o-line was doing okay for 3 qtrs? LOL!!! Cutler was getting hit so many times during the game alone but of course that doesn't concern you. Incredible.
Yes Davis whiffed on a block but that wasn't the ONLY reason the o-line looked like crap. They did the whole game long but of course YOU didn't see that.
And you heard a BUNCH OF CRAP about moving Webb to RT. You must have super hearing or something.
I am not the only one that defended the O-line. Many here and in the papers have commented that the O-line was doing Ok through the 3rd quarter. And statistically, not one of our starting lineup was credited with givng up a sack Sunday. Not saying they had a good game, but I'm not going throw them under the bridge. Tice has some more work to do with blitz recognitions and pick ups especially.
But when you consider the dome noise and the surface I thought they did OK considering that Chris Williams is considered the most experienced guy at his position Sunday!
BTW, the Davis play was HUGE and he is a TE not an O-lineman. I'd say that play and the bomb to Henderson were the 2 most important plays of the game.
Yes, Cutler was hit often. He will continue to get hit often. Its the nature of Martz offense and playcalling, in combination with our in-experienced line and our lack of big time WR talent.
One thing I mentioned after the Olsen (the guy who can't run over anybody) departure was that defenses would no longer have to account for him like they have in the past, that is, they could assign a lesser defender to our TEs now.
Not saying that Olsen would have made the difference Sunday. Not saying that Martz would even utilize him even if he were here but until both Martz and Kellen Davis prove they can make the TE posiition a threat to defenses we will see more concentrated coverage on the wideouts.
