if by the 5th week the oline doesn't improve someone should say something to kugler

I don't see any harm in Tomlin saying something to Kugler now. And for that matter, Kugler saying something to each O-lineman. The did make some nice holes, but they had more bad times than good. Can anyone confirm this - it seems as if we run up the middle on just about every play. I have yet to see more than just a sprinkling (like Brown's run) where they take it outside. It seemed to me in the past, our O-line was so bad, that the only way to have success was to run it outside.

I don't think it is wrong to look at your team, whether they be 2-0 or 1-1 and ask, "how can we get better next week?" Should happen after every game. But I read on this thread someone say we haven't done anything about it. Really? Didn't we draft o-line 1&2? Even after DeCastro returns, he and Adams are still rookies. They will need time. Time we don't want to give them, because we want to win now!

They tried to run Redman outside a couple times.

were they the ones he was taken down for a loss? Darn, I must have had a few too many, for me to forget something like that. Then again, I was posting the time on the clock when Ben snapped the ball for a while just to disprove the folks that harp on it all the time.

Yeah those are the ones.
Redman for -7 blah blah blah

Redman is a big powerful back that has absolutely no business running East/West. After 2 games we are 28th in the league rushing with 141 yards and averaging 2.6 ypc.

I am afraid, there just isn't much athletic talent on this OL minus Pouncey and
Decastro. I really question thier ability to grade OL talent? Something needs to be done,
this has gone on long enough.I think Kugler needs to be in thier faces along with Tomlin.
We are not getting it done.
