Under the radar signing this year

[bogey888]

Let's give some love to our Oline coach Doug Marrone. He'll need to step up even more in the coming weeks.

He's always been known as a solid coach, but Maye has been one of the most sacked QB's in the league and their run blocking is atrocious. They are still in dire need of talent within the interior of the O-line.

The next two to three weeks will really show the quality of his coaching. Let’s all hope it exceeds everything we’ve seen so far,n which is already stellar.

Well that's not Marrone's fault, once those guys cross the white lines there's nothing he can do for them

Mayr has only been sacked 3 times in the last 3 games combined. We are 7th most in sacks allowed.

A decent amount of Maye's sacks this year are on Maye. Too many times he failed to feel the pressure and step up or roll out or simply throw it away. He doesn't like to give up on plays but sometimes that becomes more costly. The two areas I would like to see him improve on is the pocket awareness and learning to slide. The kid played baseball...what kid that played baseball didnt learn to slide?

I haven't gone back and looked at them yet, but doing the snaps thing and watching it each week, he's had a high number of sacks that he created where he ran out and instead of a rush, it was counted as a sack. Both Vrabel and Maye have mentioned that, and I'll have to go back and watch them to see what that exact number is.

LOL, in fairness to @maust, it was less about that and more poking fun at Mayo's comment last year.

Ol has been terrific in pass protection and lost 2 starters on Sunday, still didn’t fall apart. This is a very well coached unit

The big test will be seeing what he can do for Vederian Lowe. If he can turn him into a more viable starter, that would be big, albeit it would probably hurt their chances of keeping him on the depth chart. As much as people don't like him, he's still better than most of the other backup left tackles in the league and it would hurt to not have him backing up Campbell since he can obviously go out and be adequate in the short-term.

Again, he's not a guy you want out there for 17 weeks, but he's definitely better than a lot of the other guys who are in his situation.

So after all that censoring now you're going to be fair to me? I know not what alternate universe I have stumbled into but I have a feeling I'm going to like this one.

Maye is the type of QB who creates pressures and sacks himself at a pretty high clip. And despite our amazing downfield passing statistics, teams still load the box at a very high rate against us. They don't really respect our receivers' abilities to separate downfield and attribute our success almost exclusively to Maye so they're leaving our receivers one on one and loading the box against the run/blitzing against the pass which puts more stress on the OL. And lastly and maybe most importantly, I'd say our OL talent is more ok/good than it is great.

All in all, I think the unit is performing pretty well when you consider the overall offensive personnel/situation and their talent level. Good coaching means getting the best out of what you have, it doesn't mean miraculously making everything elite despite the talent level not being that level and the rest of the offense not putting them in the most favorable situations.

Amazing words from their former HC.

The NE OL has been the same 5 guys for some time. They had some continuity.

Marrone has done a great job. I like his style. Josh McDaniel's will have some finagling to do moving forward too.

[signbabybrady]

He's not Scar.

We can't run block at all.
Short yardage is a joke.
Half the line is hurt.
Onwenwu still only tries half the time.

The OL would be just as bad as last year if it weren't for Campbell. Coaching has nothing to do with it.

I will gladly take sacks to live another play or drive.

Its the lesser of evils not having Maye forcing the ball into a INT or fumbling the ball trying to get away.
