What Im jealous of, of playoff teams

There ability to protect there quarterback. Every single playoff game I think I have watched this postseason(which hasnt been all, but most) the qb stays off the damn ground.Year after year after year, Ben doesnt get near the great protection as Ryan/Flacco/Brady/Manning and even Russell Wilson. Im sorry for the rant.

Im glag Kugler is gone now, I really hope we nail a good oline coach like we got a good secon dary coach in Lake. We need some new schemes. Yes, the line has been banged up this season, but how many times have we seen lines banged up against us, or other games with migshift lines and they play just as well. It has to be the schemes they are running.

Im glad Kuglers gone too because he was terrible at everything from coaching to conditioning...

But those line problems have been there way b4 he got here...

It's not Kuglers fault he was giving crap talent for the last couple years to work with...

2x first round picks
2x second round picks

that is more "talent" than 90% of all NFL teams have on their o-line. We just cannot find a way to keep ours healthy. Ultimately, that falls back on the coaching. in my book.

I know but that doesn't mean they're great! Pouncey is money but the jury is out on the rest....

This is the year to get the OT or OG in the 1st

Then the RB second... the rest Defense.

Then dump the old money guys and sign 2 FA players with talent.

We are in transition... Shit the ravens changed OC mid season..

the only dead certainty on this O'line is MoPo...

Rightly Colon and Starks should be shown the door, and Foster all though being a good back-up doesn't up root trees as a starter. Adams showed promise, Beachum showed promise to maybe have a crack at making the starting line-up at guard, and DeCastro obviously needs a healthy good camp to see the best from him - but with those 3 its all still lets wait and see. Gilbert is okay, decent in pass pro, but meek and mild in the run game.

It's hardly a line to get excited about. And no depth, because you can bet we will need it.

I'm not adverse to adding that bedrock Guard or franchise Tackle in round 1 - as the original post said, our line is poor compared to those on display in the playoffs.

I can live with this..

You really think their going to use another first round pick on the O-line? I don't.

I think their going to go pass rushing LB or DT with the first pick.

Adams-- Beachum-- Pouncey-- DeCastro-- Gilbert = Money if they can stay together and gel we will be in the top 5 in passing and rushing
