Appreciate Your Offensive Line

by sadaraine on Oct 27, 2009 9:40 AM MDT

Just wanted to share some quick observations with my fellow brethren in Bronco Country. Make sure you remember to be thankful to your offensive line. We have supreme talent with our guys protecting Orton and opening holes for our running game...enough can not be said about it.

Where does this come from? Well I watched the Monday night game off and on and saw THE perfect example of an offensive line playing poorly. For those of you who aren't big on line play, I encourage you to go watch some footage from the game Monday and watch what happens to the line play after play. Philadelphia divided and conquered on almost EVERY play. It was sickening. Philly was blazing around both sides of the line, spreading out the linemen, and then collapsing the pocket from multiple directions.

I actually feel very badly for Campbell. No one knows how good he really is because the dude can't even get 3 seconds to complete a friggin pass. No...seriously Campbell: If you are reading this, GET OUT OF WASHINGTON NOW!!!

So here's to you guys up front (including back-ups):

Keep doing what you do guys! We truly appreciate how you make our offense work!!!

Reality is both offensive lines stunk it up last night

Campbell could help himself if he could catch a snap out of the shotgun

A truth can only be expressed and enveloped in words if it is one-sided. Everything that is thought and expressed in words is one-sided, only half the truth; it all lacks totality, completeness, unity.

Eh...

If his center would snap the thing friggin higher than his knee-caps it would be nice though…plenty of blame to share across their line. I seriously have lost respect for Washington…I think we will roll their sorry tails in 3 weeks if they don’t do something serious for their o-line.

We have one of the best in the nfl and they are what makes the offense click.

DEF!

The last truly great O line we had were a big part in the back to back SB wins – and have to love the ‘running bulls’ commercial they did together – without saying a word!

You are right sadaraine

Campbell needs to get out of Washington so he can have a chance of salvaging his career. He hasn’t adapted to the West Coast Offense that the Redskins are trying to run and a new team and/or coach could still resurrect what he has left.

It's not just their line...

Gruden shared this tidbit: he talked to Portis, who said he hasn’t heard an audible since he was in Bronco uniform.

Isn't that amazing?

That also gives a little perspective when you look at the kind of offense that McD developed and that Orton is able to run well. Some of the other teams are still on the stone-knives-and-bearskins level as far as complexity.
