Going on a road trip for a few days so not sure when can watch all 22 but watched the replay today and YES, the Line has hope. The refs could have called that lining up penalty all 1st quarter on every pass play on BOTH teams, they decided onm the final pre-season game, to put league on notice you can't lineup too far from the line. However, they will not be enforcing it at that level in the regular season, this was a statement by the league, I wouldn't let it affect the tape review.
My reviews of All-22 Robinson in weeks 1 and 2. I specifically said he needed a season to learn the NFL blocking schemes, he looked lost in the game 1, he showed as a run blocker in game 2, I said he was not ready to start. Well, he proved it, he can be a good starting guard, late in the year or next year, he needs time
The line held up very well on most pass protections, the line mostly blocked well for running plays. If you put the best starting 5 out there, it will all come down to the LT.
Here were the plays that were bad by O line, not counting the lineup penalty.
-Jacoby play was a screen, the rusher was too far outside for the pulling lineman to chip, the RB was supposed to fake a screen that way, should have adjusted, really on Jacoby, he needed to adjust protection as you could see before the play the RB was going to have to block that guy but Jacoby did not alert him, Jacoby also missed an easy throw earlier, he continues his career as a bad NFL starting QB, but we knew that the day he signed.
-Robinson beat on Maye first incompletion
-Robinson beat on run play
-False start Robinson
So far 4 bad plays, 1 on Jacoby, 3 on Robinson.
-Sow and Chuks got beat but Maye released quickly for completion, would Jacoby? A case where Maye playing saved the line, Sow held his guy longer than Chuks, this is where the QB is so important, he had time, not a lot, made the play.
-Leverett Driven back
-Sow was driven back on TT incompletion, Maye stepped up as outside rushers went around him but did not need to step up as much, partly on Maye, partly on Sow
-Robinson pushed into Maye
-Robinson beat run play and held
-Jordan hold bad call by refs.
So 10 bad plays by O-line, the rest were solid
5 on Robinson
1 Bad ref call
1 on Jacoby
1 on Chuks, with little help from Sow
1 on Sow with a little help from Maye
1 on Leverett driven back-happened again later but did not effect play
Sidy Sow needs to start over Robinson. Hopefully he's healthy.
You only had 2 plays by the prospective starters on the line that were bad.
The rest were on backup lineman and the refs.
Left Tackle is the question mark as well as depth. hey can get a starting 4 that will be fine, as long as someone plays LT and nobody gets hurt they can be solid, how hard can that be LOL.
Wallace looked very good at RT but playing against the players to be cut nt sure how much it means but he's a potential starter at either tackle spot. They have something in Wallace where he can contribute this year, Robinson needs time.
Not all doom and gloom upon tape review, lots of good blocking but 1 weak link can kill you.
