The o-line wasn’t that bad

    I agree, and disagree. LoL.
    I believe a strength is Targets on the field. Yes the running game is getting better, and Yes Najee seems to run better after Warren gets some runs, but I believe the passing game being better will open more holes, and create longer drives for the Rbs to get more carries.

    in order to use the pass to set up the run they would have to consistently hit on some shots downfield. Until opposing defenses respect a vertical attack they’re going to follow the same tried and true formula we’ve seen since week 11 2020

    It's nice to see he's playing better than he did in the preseason, Dan Moore too he was terrible in the preseason.

    This is a grown man TD run :thumbs_up:
    You got some fans saying Najee is another Trent Richardson, and that Warren should start over him :facepalm:.

    TBH I never had a huge hatred for the Bengals compared to the other two teams in our division but I'm really wishing ill will on them all season long. Bit arrogant in their approach to 2022 season IMO. I'm a bit pissed I pulled for them last year in SB.

    Pat Meyer is definitely making an impact on the oline.

    I also haven't seen any Munchak threads, which is massive.

    Someone brought him up the other day. It was one of those Tomlin sucks/coaching tree/ can’t hire decent coordinators threads.

    we are a nation that yearns for instant gratification in a life that doesn’t play by our rules

    I agree the oline is getting better. I think Mitch had time and did make some throws. I don't know if the problem is Mitch or the scheme from Canada but this offense is terrible so far.

    I thought the oline moved some people off the ball and Harris missed the hole more than A few times.

    I really think Warren out played Harris, at least he just takes the ball and hits it hard going forward.

    Harris looks like he is thinking of breaking a big run on every handoff and moving sideways or bouncing it outside when its not necessary. Maybe his foot injury is still bothering him.

    You’re trying to simplify it too much. Our issues have been multiple. Our o-line had been struggling in the running game, but overall was decent in pass blocking. When our line did do well running backs were missing holes. Our qb has also made mistakes. We’ve also had wide receivers dropping passes. Add all that together and you have our offense of the last few games. We’ve seen glimpses of what Canada wants to do with some new things here and there. However, when your offense can’t find a rhythm and keeps shooting itself in the foot its damn near impossible to dig into the playbook. We were 1-9 on 3rd down Thursday night with similar results the prior two weeks. Second down has also been an issue. That’s a recipe for losing football games. Fortunately things appear to be improving. The offensive line has improved each and every week. Trubisky is making better decisions and pushing the ball downfield. Harris for at least one game appears to be hitting holes. Hopefully the line will continue to improve and we can start using the play action pass effectively.if things finally start to click our offense will look vastly different than what we’ve seen for the last three games. When defenses have to respect the running game and a vertical passing attack that will open everything else up.

    The line is playing much better as a whole so time to ditch that excuse for not playing Pickett. The run game is improving and the line is giving the Qb adequate time in the pocket. Receivers are getting open and Trubisky is missing them. It’s TIME for Pickett!

    Picket or bust. Then when he sucks its (insert next qb) or bust. Until tomlin retires in 2056 with 0 losing seasons and 1 super bowl lol

    They are getting there. Hopefully they keep the arrow pointing up and we can say we have a good O-line coach and keep him. Musical coaches don't help. They are going to need some consistency while we add, if we even need to by then.:cool:

    Clearly reading comprehension isn’t your strong suit. Since you need someone to spell it out for you. I sad it’s about time for you to chime in…I understand reading is difficult for you. Maybe try a tutor?

    If they gave Najee 20-25 carries, he would definitely get 100 yards.

    Just out of curiosity

    How are you thinking that a guy who admitted he didn’t learn the playbook is going to teach the playbook to someone else

    Well Canada is in his first year. Want to give him the benefit of the doubt. Just need to really have him utilize them or whoever is at QB either Mitch, Kenny, or even Mason protected well.

    does the 100 yards have to come from one guy? why? we are averaging 90 per game currently. 4.1 per carry. :cool:

    First, welcome to the board Jean74

    It's Canadas 2nd season calling the offense. Their is no change from last season. This is why Ben would go rouge. Now they have Mitch and i'm sure he is all buttoned up being told not to make the big mistake. Taking chances make plays. Even if Pickett is under center I wonder if the same would happen.

    This lies at he feet of Tomlin.
