If Free is definitely our RT, why wasnt Parnell tried out inside? At least he isn't as big and can get out of the crouch faster.
That's what I don't understand either. By moving Free inside you're making the RT position weaker and not necessarily solidifying RG since Free has no experience there. I thought Free did Ok inside. But Parnell was just bad. I would rather worry about guard than tackle.If Free is definitely our RT, why wasnt Parnell tried out inside? At least he isn't as big and can get out of the crouch faster.
I really hope they are at least considering replacing Bisaccia.
Maybe we can salvage the unit under different leadership. I haven't seen any improvement over this year's ST unit compared to last year's unit.
In fact, I'd argue that they've regressed.
Jerry's not worried.They have regressed. Significantly.
I agree. They've been dicking around trying to find another competent guard, meanwhile not seemingly worrying about tackle and thinking they have a "plan" for Bell.That's what I don't understand either.

It's unreal to me that they saw how his ST performed in SD last year and thought it would be an upgrade. Particularly with Tobin and April available.Jerry's not worried.
It's still wing and a prayer. We will see. It would be hard to be worse than last year but a couple times in these preseason games, it has looked that bad. Though obviously we are only seeing a series or so at a time and we only saw Smith-Leary-Frederick for what, 1 game?I agree with you except for the assumption that our Oline will automatically be that bad at run blocking this year again. Even this horrific performance you claim against the Bengals didn't lead to many negative runs. It still led to 2 TDs in the first half against their starting unit.
Our Oline is different then last year if for no other reason then we almost certainly upgraded two interior starting spots. Plus you have a LT now with actual LT experience. It isn't a stretch to think we will be better upfront. And please don't confuse that with me thinking we will be great up front.
What contradicting evidence? The evidence you keep using to prove that we aren't any good on offense?It is impossible despite all the contradicting evidence.
It is (almost) impossible to be successful with this line (I say almost because I make exception for the Bill Parcells-like coaching performance, that might be able to lift them).Funny how it was originally impossible to be successful with this line. Presented with evidence disproving that claim, now it's "some weeks," as if almost all offenses ever don't struggle "some weeks."
No, I am not saying that.So when you say something like it depends what the other team is doing some weeks, isn't that essentially saying it depends whether your coach is being outcoached? Yep.
1st quarter was awful.Okay, I opened this thread to try and get a gauge for how we played since I didn't get to watch, and all I have seen is arguing. So, is there anyone that can give me just a quick synopsis of how we looked?
Thanks.1st quarter was awful.
Penalties, sloppy play, and poor special teams.
Defense did not look good on their opening drive but were saved by a Barry Church forced fumble inside of our 5 yard line. But from that point on, the defense looked solid.
The offensive line sucks, but you already knew that. They were subpar in pass blocking, but awful in run blocking. Romo looked sharp, Dez looks poised for a monster year, and Miles look good and showed a burst.
Tobin? April?It's unreal to me that they saw how his ST performed in SD last year and thought it would be an upgrade. Particularly with Tobin and April available.

Yeah...that would make sense, but I am glad we tried him at another position...anything to salvage the player.If Free is definitely our RT, why wasnt Parnell tried out inside? At least he isn't as big and can get out of the crouch faster.
I believe they all three started the first two preseason games. They all looked great in those games as well.It's still wing and a prayer. We will see.
