    Ouch!
    The sad part is that during the draft I was the one being laughed at because I wanted to draft an o-lineman in the first round instead of Floyd.

    OL
    Last I heard, there wasnt anyone worthy of the 13th pick at OL when we were up. I havent heard a ton out of the other first rounders teams other than Kalil that have a player that is a stud tackle. For this weekend, Jared Allen is going to have an absolute field day.

    For the record
    I agree with Mesa, I am still laughing at AZ_Cisco. Then Massie is still a rookie but will get there eventually. Also Batiste should not be in there but Brown is hurt and he is better then anything else we have on the roster. Just got too grind and try to get the ball out faster.

    OL
    I disagree with Mad Man and Supa on here. You aren't going to hear a lot about O lineman. I think you should look into the results of the draft picks so far.. Zeitler is a STUD with the Bengals! Many critics are saying he will make the pro bowl as a rook...Rated 10th best guard in the NFL. Cordy Glenn at left tackle for the Bills was really good until getting hurt in game 4. He was solid. Josh LeRibeus and Riley Reiff are studs...Mike Adams, Amini Silatolu, Tony Bergstrom are all upgrades... ESPN says we are worst O line in over a decade! No O Line picks before 3rd round since 2006. Pitiful.

    YES IT IS ..... When your QB cannot read or pickup and change the defensive scheme that's about to come your way and knock your head off. Nothing against Skelton but he just doesn't seem to be able to read the defense and change things as needed. This is what I liked about Kolb.... I still say Kolb is a darn good QB but then again what do I know.

    2 OL from being the best in the league
    calling all former linemen. Send in your tapes showing you can block. the cards need help really bad. Just think this team is only 3 plays away from being 6 and 1. 3 missed FG and an INT for TD.

    I see Kolb make the same mistakes! Currently at this time, Kolb is the better QB. But seriously, as I watch our team on 3rd downs, I see that our QBs hold on to the ball too long. So Im thinking that it has to be because the plays that Miller and Whiz are calling are meant to go 10+ yards because Kolb is always looking downfield, holding on to the ball, and getting sacked. So again I ask, WHERE ARE THE QUICK PASS/3 STEP DROP PASSES???? I understand they only get 3 or more yards at a time. But if our QBs and WRs hit those passes, the 6, 10, and 20+ yard pass plays will start to flow.

    If we could get 3 yards every play via short pass and the run (which our run game has been averaging more than 3 yards a carry the last 2 games) then we are destined to get a 1st down every 4 plays AND A TD at the end of the drive. But, for some reason that I cannot understand, whether it be the WRs play calling or QBs, our offense is not hitting those quick pass plays. Every pass play they seem to be going for the big one. I have news for you and your big one ;) with the O Line we have now, it isnt going to work. It just is what it is. Big ones arent impossible, but baby steps Cards.

    Slant pass
    What ever happened to the slant pass over the middle? Get it to Fitz quickly and let him get the yards. Warner did this all the time. Enough with the 7 step drop and then duck and cover. Timing patterns...Quick release..get rid of the ball...
