I got this from another web site.
Decent analysis and nice video clips.

How many times have I sat here and watch Ryan Cook get beat off the ball. He's horrible to watch.

It's not just our line.
Holcomb never stepped up into the pocket on probaly 3 or 4 of those plays.
A few of them would've resulted in completions and possibly 1st downs.

That is true, and as I re-watched the game last night, I saw that a lot.
I think he hangs back to give himself some more passing lanes, but he needs to be able to feel those defenders coming in and step up when necessary.

Someone really went to a lot of work to prove a point -- and without a doubt, they did. I wonder what Childress says when he sees that going on? But frankly, who else have we got?
Cook is not mobile enough and too slow to move with the rusher.

Sigh, SIA you have been with me on this one all week. STEP UP!

Now this is some great stuff.
Were did you get it?

Funny thing is that these are just a few examples of what I saw all day long.

Whats the problem.
Watch Birk on this one.
He should have shifted over and helped out.
Unfortunately he didn't

Guess I wasn't as drunk as everyone thought I was when I
was trying to convince all that our OL sucks.

Lie I said in another thread. The QB coach needs to work with his guys to get them to slide around in the pocket and allow the line to move the defenders away from them instead of straight into them. Until that happens we are going nowhere fast. Also as stated there is no excuse to be continually beat off the line if you are an offensive lineman. You know the snap count, the QB's cadence and the play. If the defense gets a jump on you, you need to find other work.
