Tough Sledding Ahead

[Anointed One]

We have a couple of pieces in place on the o-line, draft a couple more and let them jell and our offense will be back on track.

Not a believer in Rawls for the long haul... I think we'll need a different RB eventually... Looking forward to Prosise coming back next week though...

But I agree with your comment about the OL...

I agree about the OL also. Both Rawls and Prosise certainly have health concerns so may be a good idea to draft another RB. I do think when healthy they are very good RBs though.

 

[MrS]

Hugh millen tearing the coaches apart for not benching kearse. Its about time someone started telling the truth about this offense.

 

[SonnyCID]

I agree that Kearse should be benched. But who gives a shit about what Millen has to say? The guy has 0 credibility and was a total bitch when he was proven wrong about Wilson.

 

[MrS]

Its just refreshing to hear some criticism in the media, they are as bad as most people on here.

Maybe Carroll will take his advice seriously.

I think Rawls can be our feature back. He put up numbers almost similar numbers to what David Johnson did last season during the same time period before he got hurt and our o-line wasn't very good. Of course the main question is can he stay healthy. If Rawls and Prosise can stay healthy they will provide a really good one two punch.

I'm fine with drafting a RB in the later rounds. 1-4 should be squarely on o-line, cb, wr and d-line.

Big needs with those units, but the talent has to be available, don't reach.

Agreed. The position that's a must in the first round is o-line. I would like cb in the second but best available even if that means taking another o-line guy.

I'm not one to watch much college football, but I do read those that do and supposedly next year is not a good year for OL, so that's a problem.

Damn, that's not good. They should have made a play for Joe Thomas.

I assume that the Browns decided they wanted to keep him, he would of been a short term answer in any case. The line will be better next year even if they add no one. The interior players are getting there experience and Fant could perhaps be alright. I'm sure they draft some OL and try to find someone they can develop, just not sure it will be a first round pick next year. Guess we'll see. To early to guess right now, who knows, maybe they sign or trade for a OL.
I'm confident they'll address the problem somehow.

 

[SonnyCID]

The only concern with Rawls is his durability. His skill set is that of an elite RB.

Oh I agree, but durability is important. I'm crossing my fingers that says healthy.

 

[Uhsplit]

Im not gonna argue position by position, but the difference in qb is huge and that really is whats so sickening about this offense.

The beloved QB lost that game. He was the #1 reason we lost. I still would not trade him for anything.

 

[Uhsplit]

It should sicken everyone when our offense cant muster even 2 tds against average or bad defenses on the road.

And yes im old enough to remember the bad years, i witnessed them live for many years.

Then it is truly too bad you can't appreciate the good years.

 

[Uhsplit]

I feel like he has lost his confidence, forcing things because he knows theres nothing there in the offense. H

My other thought, an injury nobody has told us about.

Gotta call BS on this. 1st of all you are purely guessing. 2nd, Baldwins double move in the 1st drive which should have been a TD, was a beautifully set up play for a TD but the QB overthrew it.
To bad you cant see proper execution by all players except for the throw.

 

[Uhsplit]

For me, it would be refreshing to not hear about firing people after every loss. There is a time for that and in Seattle's case it should be after the season is over.
We aren't the Rams.

He would have been a good short term solution and a good mentor too the young guys.
