    Worked out two tackles and signed one. Ealy . Is this a preview of chuks moving to left tackle? Ealy is a right tackle. They said we are shaking up the bottom of the roster on the line.:cool:

    He has bounced around on practice squads and had a drug suspension as well. He will not make the rosters

    That's the thing with Green....He was the weightlifting champ at Illinois in the Bench and Squat!... STRENGTH, is not the issue, but it sure seems like it the way he gets manhandled and ragdolled...

    So, obviously it's technique...Is he just not getting or is it Coaching?

    Why would it be in green? I liked Ridder better than Pickett to start with and...Our OL is atrocious...You don't think a Guard or Tackle...or Linderbaum would have helped?

    No dang way. Are you watching him tonight? He's just handing the ball off and missed throws. The jets didn't have any of their starters in and failclowns had all their starters in.

    I didn't Like Ridder...I really didn't like any of the Qbs, but I did have Pickett as the Highest Qb....I would have had Him(Pickett) even higher if I wasn't so concerned about His hands at the time.

    I'm not disagreeing about the line. But ridder is junk to decent at best. And that's with him having a line.

    Just did research on him. He just looks average at LT. And meh at LG. I think Cole would be better if given the chance.

    The steelers can afford him. This dumpster diving is not going to fix anything. He was suspended for a drug issue already. No clue why they did it

    They are not speaking high of him.... i live in Atlanta and used to be their photographer. Tonight's game he was literally throwing air balls to where no one was there. Majority of his snaps were hand offs and dumps. And his dumps were not consistent.



    Have you seen pickett do an air Ball like this?

    No one was in that area at all. And if you want to blame it on not knowing the route that just shows he doesn't know the playbook, or he cannot adjust to someone going wrong direction. So when he plays with WO he know how to change gears, this will lead to not hitting them in route.

    Lastly don't tell me it's pre season. Because this is showing who is ready vs who better stay on the bench.




    Also coach Smith was lighting him up with errors he made tonight.


    Also he doesn't hit players on stride. They have to stop or significatly slow down to Mahe the catch crossing the middle and some times even go routes.

    The Green experiment should probably end. I'm hoping Daniels will come around to form - he probably needs a little time learning a new system. Although at this rate they may have to use Watt and Najee with run and pass blocking more then they thought.

    seems like these guys are over thinking footwork right now and not getting hands into the defender. quite different then they had been used too. myers system is technique to counter where and what the defender gives in an initial look. the feet are one aspect of that. the hand punch counters off that. they are not putting it all together yet. attack, move, don't attack slide, punch, reset. it's like learning 5 dances at once. this is why trent scott is looking pretty good compared to many. he knows this system. cole does well at it also. that's two out of however many linemen we have. it's going to take some time. :cool:

    As I stated in a previous thread, who and how did we get this OL coach. An ICONIC franchise has
    to settle for this ****? Bull**** Go out and get someone that can teach these guys. You shouldn't have to teach aggressiveness at this point. When in doubt fire out. I have high hopes for this team, and if these guys let us down, the other players should be real pissed off. We can compete if these guys are respectable. Who the F**ck is evaluating these stiffs?
