The #1 worry going into the season proved itself once again as the core strength of the team.
Mason was a monster, Andrews a fighter the other 3 real solid as usual.
Now I really look forward with great pleasure to their return to Mile High.

Unbelievable work by Dante. HOF story right there ..

It's all because of Dante! Hopefully we have someone learning from him so when he retires we will have a suitable replacement unlike the previous year...
 
Back to the guys, happy these guys are playing well, it's been a while since we had a thousand yard rusher. Blount might make the pro bowl this year if he breaks 1300-1400 yards.
 
The line is excellent. We have two very fine pulling guards.

Scar wanted consistency and he has been able to have it.
 
Mods please edit the title, OP left out the word 'coach' at the end.
 
Not great but good. Legit good. I would put it top 10 and just a bit outside the top 5. Besides obviously the Cowboys I put a few more units over it but it clearly has stepped up. Mason was a monster this game particularly.

I think that they are top 5, but certainly not a match for DAL.

Perhaps, I over-rate them since I consider the results, rather than the talent, or even the individual performance. Scar's schemes, and Josh's schemes really make them look good. And of course, having a QB who is capable of releasing in 2.2 seconds really helps. BTW, Scar is not afraid to use 6 OL's when he needs to.
 
Andrews is the weakest of the unit and that's saying something.

I feel thuney has alot of talent. Cannon has been wonderful. Big test on sunday against another good d line.

It doesn't matter about top 10, top 5 or wherever someone wants to put them.
Brady has time to throw, space to step in the pocket and is well protected ..
Blount & co can run at will even over top run Ds .. (all that without Gronk, the blocking-receiving monster)
It works great for TB&co this year and that spells great OL in my book ..

That might be as difficult as having someone learn how to be BB for when he finally retires.

Scar is one of a kind, hope we can keep him a long time. Scar, retirement is overrated.

Fans worry about a fix on any group until well past the time it is fixed. BB has been rebuilding the Offensive line for 4 or 5 years. The youngsters are there now, blooded, and integrating. Only Vollmer is a hold over from the previous generation and he isn't really too old either,only injured. Add a quality LOT for development and the job is more than done. Next problem please.
 
Why people can't be reasonable? The joke here is that in a losing night, it's all doom and gloom, but in victory, we are unbeatable, everything is great.

Our O-line is good. They played a great game tonight. Mason is really good in the running game, but really mediocre (at best) in the passing game.

We are certainly not a top 5 OL. Brady absolutely makes the line better than it actually is.

The oline was fantastic tonight against a great front. Just before the edelman "ill stop running" incomplete, mason had a great athletic chip. It was an overload blitz at our right side. 3 lb's wandering over the rg/rt. 3 rushers, not a hand in the dirt. The tackle lb stunted inside, mason passed him to Andrews. Guard lb to tackle, who cannon handled. Mason managed to throw a hip check at the delayed lb coming up the g/t gap. He didnt get his hands on him, but used his athleticism to instead flip his feet at the 3rd guy and knocked him just enough for brady to hurry a throw. Espn played it a few times, talking of the vaunted raven d, when they should have been lauding mason for preventing Tf'inB from being completely killed.

I don't question tonight's performance, truly amazing. But one play doesn't mean anything. He is still inconsistent in the Passing game. Improving a lot, though

I was referencing the one play to point out his awareness compared to a year ago. He didnt handle the play i mentioned well, but was aware enough to throw his hips into the delayed blitz. I expect nothing but improvement as scar works technique into his pass block mentality.
 


Thuney does too... and if Cannon doesn't make the Pro Bowl this year I'll be disappointed. Another dominant night for him.
