Game 1 Rewatch - Oline Grades

[JRobinson]

It was nice to see the unit play at a productive level and with some consistency. However, I believe we just need to see some more in order to see continuity develop between them... especially with no preseason. This has been brought up by a few and also by Collinsworth last night which I agree with... The quick passing game contributed to helping the OLine when it came to pass protection. Just over 2-3 seconds on most passing downs, there simply wasn't opportunity for sacks to happen. Boom definitely needs to progress this season and I believe he will even though hes probably best suited at T as most have mentioned. I remain even keel at this point even though the optimism is there for the taking. On to week two with Cox and Graham.

Thanks for the nice breakdown! Yeah, I saw Higbee miss a couple blocks

95.2 Whitworth
51.8 Noteboom
81.9 Blythe
80.3 Corbett
75.8 Havenstein

There's nothing wrong with using a quick pass game to mask the weaknesses of the OL. Brady has been doing that for years, and Wilson has been running backwards, in circles, etc to avoid sacks.

Getting Aldon Smith blocked was a tall order for whoever was there. Trying to do it with a wr was a disaster.

I have to disagree, the guy didn't play a down for the last 5 years and he comes in and destroys a guy who played last year, had a full offseason and is younger? I get technique goes a long way but a guy who hasn't played in 5 years, probably isn't in the best football shape and didn't have a full offseason to get ready. Yeah not buying Boom isn't going to be a big problem moving forward.

Ouch, I hope McVay pays his PFF subscription.

Then there’s this grade, though I hear Johnson will be back at LT for them.

Looks like the Eagles resolved their issues with the OL now & made two moves to beef up their OL.

Eagles to sign G Jamon Brown to the active roster from Chicago’s practice squad

Lane Johnson has mostly been playing RT since he was drafted with the #1 draft pick, but it sure appears it time to move Old man Peters inside to LG & insert Lane Johnson back @ his LT post that he mastered in college.

I have been wondering where OG Isaac Seumalo is lurking he started all 16 games for the Eagle last season?

That's a good front in Dallas. Our guys held. I won't say they dominated by any means.

I noticed our experienced TE's whiffing and getting manhandled quite a bit though. I'd like to shore that up before firing Noteboom.

Yeah, it sure was an awesome game plan. It’s a “tool” we can use in the future against fronts like this or as dictated by the game.

Just goes to show some guys need a little more time to develop. We now have multiple young developing OL and I think this season will prove that there wasn't much point in drafting one early that would've taken time to develop like everyone wanted.

After last season I'd take that every day of the week and be happy. There's still concerns but I've seen enough to think we might have the makings of a line here.

He's definitely improved since last year. What has impressed me is the media mentioning that the coaches shared how important it was to them that the line as a whole got more physical this offseason. So obviously they worked on that and it paid off.

But I agree with you, at least so far to say that I am not sold on him being a starter just yet. He's gonna get a real good test in Philly and again in Buffalo here real soon though which will be enlightening either way.

Yeah I'm not so worried about philly but that buffalo defense Is legit. It's gonna be another Pittsburgh game from last year watch

 

[Merlin]

Philly has Fletcher Cox. Gonna be interesting.

 

[IBruce80]

With just a training camp this season, the group played as well as I could have hoped for.
High hopes on a much improved performance by around weeks 4-5.
I'm very optimistic.

Sounds like we DO agree

Nice block we have seen he's capable of this, just need to see it more consistently.

We have NEVER blocked Fletcher Cox. Hopefully our new quick pass game helps.

Aint that the Truth. But Sullivan was a poor pass blocker, as good as he was in run blocking. I am silently hoping Blythe can slow him down, along with the play calls and run game that isnt putting us in 3rd and 11 all the time.
