2nd point about the OL, it takes more than a training camp to gel an OL. This is a new scheme to them, they have 3 new starters from the end of last season. I watched the Oilers OL with 2 future HOF players start the Jack Pardee era looking like they had never played football before. That OL took a few weeks to gel, but they did, and IRC they went to the playoffs.

i thought brown was alright, he only let one guy through for a sack that i saw. maybe a few pressures but for a rookie, IN pittsburgh, against that crazy ass defense i'm not upset at all.

Now to the defense, our DL is undersized in the middle to play smash mouth football with teams like Pittsburgh. We start 2 undertackles, and do not have a NT ready to start in the NFL. Hopefully Okam will develop, but remember it took Wilfork a few years to develop and he was a 1st rounder, same with Tommy Harris.

....or casey hampton....we clearly just need a big, big man to lean over on opposing o'lines. that got the better of myers all day.

Now the secondary is not good currently. We need to draft a safety in the top 2 rounds next year, it will be a good safety draft. Also Reeves is playing his way to the bench, and it will take time for Molden to get adjusted to the NFL. And maybe Eugene Wilson plays his way onto the field. Time, we need time to mature.

does molden, wilson, and dunta (eventually) help? i think a safety is in order too but help is on the way sooner than that so maybe things will lighten up?

Positives? Mario is proving that is not a fluke. Slaton is proving me wrong about him so far.
