Duane Brown

[KJ3]

i know myers wasn't regarded as a huge pickup but he got leaned on all day and couldn't handle it. i think i expected more than that, but it's one game...

who is starting RG now/last weekend? briesel?

Saying it was Schaub, no it was the Oline, is like saying which came first the chicken or the egg. Doesb't matter, the coaches need to work these guys overtime on their run & pass blocking, and Schaub needs to spend a bunch of time strudying film of the Ravens tendencies.

I will be there Sunday if Ike allows the game to go on. I hope our play picks up dramatically. If not, we may be in for a long season.

Have you guys noticed that Brown will do whatever it takes to stop his man? Several times I've watched him use his legs in an attempt to trip his guy as he's falling down. It's very bvious so I imagine he'll be getting called on it by the Jags game.

It is very hard for a rookie if the interior of the line is not doing it's job. What's with Meyers, haven't we had a perrenial problem with the offensive center position being the weak link in the line before?

really, we need a center capable of handling some big, mean, nasty DT's. logic says we need a big, mean, nasty center...but we don't handle business that way.

2 games though, it's been 2 games.

It's a natural missmatch almost anytime a ZB center goes up against a 3-4 defense where he's routinely going to be facing a guy 25,30, maybe 40 lbs
bigger than him in the person of the NT, whose directly across from him.
Lets see how he does against a 4-3, which I think he'll see for the first time this year Sunday vs. the Jags.

titans play 4-3 right? i meant to face big fat al in nashville and henderson (or stroud, can't remember who got traded to nyj) in jacksonville. we rountinely see some elite DTs...stands to reason that we would have the best center we could possibly find. especially since, looking ahead, we face more than one elite DT this year on top of the 4 games in division we play every year against elite DTs. but again...business is handled differently 'round these parts.

Centers are traditionally the smallest of all the lineman anyway. They are also at a natural disadvantage because they have to snap the ball first, block second. I really thought Myers would be an upgrade, and he could be, but so far he seems to get pushed around a lot.

Dang, you're right they aren't are they ? Sorry 'bout that.
Well that blows my whole premise about our new center having only faced
big 3-4 noses up to now.

don't worry, i think you're theory is still right...

i mean we don't call him fat albert for nothing.
