Connorbear Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 http://www.nootsnotes.com/2009/11/02/noots...over-cleveland/ I would give the o-line a D+. Their pass blocking nearly got Cutler killed. Other than that, I completely agree with you. Great game for both Manning and Roach. Manning made one of the best interceptions I have ever seen.

Lucky Luciano Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 The breakdowns in pass protection in some cases could have been part of coaching. i not only agree but i would like to emphasize this. since the FIRST game of the season, teams have been overloading the line on one side (usually our right side) and have been causing havoc in our backfield. some if not most of this can fall on olsen and davis for doing nearly nothing to block freed up d-linemen or backers coming unabated to the qb USUALLY off right tackle or between the RG, RT gap. some can come from our RB and FB either missing blocks or not blocking the right defender. some comes from cutler not seeing these defensive lineups and calling audibles, reassigning blocking assignments or getting quick passes out to hot receivers (if our receivers are even running the correct hot routes in these instances) and some from what appears to be complete confusion from our linemen on who their blocking assignment is. BUT... i question this coaching staff for not going over this week after week in practice to either get cutler (whom many forget is a young qb) to recognize these sets and counter them OR get in the face of our RB's and TE's to forcefully change their blocking habits and mindset. this still going on by the 6th game in the season is inexcusable!!! just what the hell is our OC, our QB coach, our OL coach and our position coaches doing during film sessions or practice during the week before games? by this time and every team we have faced using the same tactics you would think SOMEONE could figure this out!! until we can counter this we will see it continually the rest of the season or until cutler is on IR or dead.
