Holy shit was Davin Joseph useless on the play they broke down. He was bumping into the other OL like a blind old man on his way to blocking nobody

Then he finished by trippin over GR. RS looked pretty strong opening up the hole for DJ to fall through before TM shot through.

Coach Sirmans breaking it down, Gurley to the house! Let's hope the young offensive line is up to the task because as the offensive line goes so goes the St. Louis Rams!

It appears that he misses a defender, but if you watch again, the coach said his responsibility is taking out the Middle linebacker. But, in this case, the Middle linebacker took himself out of the play; by getting in behind the D-lineman that Harkey was already blocking. Had the MLB been in his usual spot, Joseph was where he was supposed to be to make the block.

I don't really mind him being where he was, he did what he was supposed to there. He was just so clumsy doing so that I doubt he would have even blocked the MLB anyway. Almost knocked down Robinson I believe, tripping over guys, just embarrassing.
