    Good article. I hope Ben and Haley figure this out in the off-season!

    as i said so many times last year and our new OL coach said so far, mobility on the o-line. i relly still believe our line hindered what we were able to run, and only part of his offense was used last year.

    ben needs to be patient. when he see's this team not scoring enough in a game he feels the need to take it on his shoulders and revert back to having to make it happen on his own. he sometimes starts to panic and push or force the offense. i expect it to flow better with the new line and he will see the magic and then he will buy into it more. this line will take some time to get to that point but i think it will.:cool:

    I think Ben and Haley's relationship is fine, I think the media wants there to be a problem so they have something to write about....

    Ben needs to get over the Arians firing first off. Its business, it happens all the time in the NFL. I understand they were close, but he needs to see that Haley isn't the reason Arians is gone. He was just brought here to be part of the solution. I wish that Ben was more of a guy who studied the game, and worked with the offense coordinators like manning and brady do. And Haley needs to play to bens strengths and try to build a relationship with him just like Arians did. Ben won't respond with someone trying to tell him or make him do his job a certain way, and Haley won't be pushed around by a QB. Their ego's are both too big for that. Hopefully they work together this off season to get this offense producing like we all know it can.

    Not to be a naysayer, but we are to believe that all things were going great (a benefit of which keeps Ben healthy), so then, how did Ben get hurt? Freak hit, I got it, just seems odd to be using as the reason to implement this offense is to keep the QB healthy when in fact, it did not. Now, I'm all in for a 2nd season at it, hoping the OL and RB woes go by the wayside. IMHO we also saw a drop in production from the WR's compared to last year as well. So, there's another thing to work out. A healthy Ben is definitely desirable. The only time he made all 16 starts, we won the Superbowl.

    Murphy's Law, he was barely touched up to that point compared to years past. Less hits is always a good thing, that was just a fluke, that tackle didn't even seem like anything, I was shocked when he came out of the game.

    I still didn't like how we were a low scoring offense. I know we could not run good but we still tried to run it up the middle too much. They seem to not have any pizzaz in their offense plays. Very vanilla and boring type of offense. Not sure yet what Warner is saying. Yes less hits on Ben, but look at the offense scheme, I didn't see anything exciting with the offense! :cool:

    I agree. I think they are digging here. People seem to overlook the year Ben was having prior to being injured. All the pundits on tv were buying into what Ben was doing and, if memory serves me correctly, Collinsworth even made a comment that Ben was on pace for a MVP season.

    Ben and Haley will be fine. A decent O line and a motivated WR core can fix a lot of this season's woes.
