That’s an easy TD if they simply hold that block
This is such a great design to get the ball to Darwin Thompson.

I've gotten so very tired of saying "Jesus Christ this interior line is dogshit..."
Every. Single. Week.
When you watch the plays that are breaking open just as the interior collapses, it makes it awfully tough to complain about anything Andy's doing out there. He's clearly reluctant to neuter himself in the hopes that at some point those 3 clowns will unfuck themselves but I think it's well past time for substantial change.
Bench Reiter AND Wylie at this point. Put in Allegretti and Wisnewski. And if LDT doesn't figure it the hell out, try Erving back inside (or even Wylie back at RG where he wasn't a trainwreck last year).
This team WILL lose a playoff game with its interior line playing like this. It's not a question of if, but only when. At some point they'll end up leaving 13 points on the board due to missed shots that needed something simple like 2.5 seconds of pocket and we'll just lose.
Reid's playcalling is as good as it's ever been but if he doesn't get over this stubborn refusal to change horses mid-stream on his OL, they're going to end up the architect of his demise.

That's a big gainer.
They manage to get in each other's way.
A single would've been more effective yet somehow each of them manage to just interfere with the other one and fuck it up.
If it's continuity that has Reid committed to this IOL, I think we can pretty well dispense with that argument at this point. We're 13 games into the season and the damn OL is tripping each other on a simple double-team. I don't think they're gonna just find amazing chemistry over the next several weeks.
It's time to gamble on talent over familiarity. [Reply]
I had no idea that was supposed to be a fake punt live. That would have been incredible, I would have lost my shit if they didn't fuck up going for that. [Reply]

I've rarely seen any kind of running lanes open on our called running plays.
These RB's would be fine if you give them anything worth a shit on the o-line.
Nah, RB's aren't good either.
They'd be better, but they have no explosion, limited vision and little power. They're a collection of flawed pieces that don't add up to a positive whole.
The only possible upshot is Thompson as he presents a lot of physical tools but man, with the struggles we have with the IOL, you just can't send him out there knowing that he's spotty in pass pro. We NEED someone there alongside Mahomes we can trust. [Reply]

Shady averaged 3.5 yards/carry in spite of that line on Sunday. Every other rusher except Kelce (1 rush, 4 yards, TD) ran for 2 yards or less per carry.
And he was averaging 5.1 yards/carry through most of the beginning of the season. Behind a worse line.
I feel like Reiter has actually regressed; LDT also (maybe). At the very least Wiz is a better technical blocker.
But Andy really needs to figure something out with the OL, because they aren't good in their current configuration. [Reply]

Watching that group try to deal with the stunts was just excruciating.
Reiter and Wylie don't seem to have the athleticism for it and LDT's technique has fallen to complete shit - guy just doesn't move his feet. He just widens out his base really far and starts reaching.
I guess running with 2 guys you got off the street last year and an oft-injured 6th round pick as the anchors of your interior line was perhaps a poor decision, eh?
When you watch those guys !@#$ing suck and then look at how they were acquired, it starts to make a lot of sense. And the sad fact is that I'm now just hoping they get replaced by ANOTHER street free agent a a SEVENTH round pick.

Oof.
Really though, look at Andy's time here. That's what they've done on the interior OL. Late rounders, etc. Outside of Morse, they haven't invested a whole lot up there.
I know we are gonna probably need some defensive backs in this upcoming draft, but shit, I'd take a G/C in round 1 if one is there.
And I'd cut LDT and sign Sherff to play LG. [Reply]
