    Blame
    August 17, 2012 9:52 am
    It's hard to put all the blame on the QB when this inept offensive line let's defensive players go by faster than a well greased turnstile. Warner came here as a seasoned veteran who can make up for a weaker offensive line. He could read defenses and then make quick adjustments on the fly. Kolb has had 16 starts in the NFL. Maybe some of the blame should be going to the offensive line and the person in charge of making it a productive unit.

    Just impatient fans who want to see the "seasoned, experienced, and potentious" QB succeed, take command of the offense, and make good plays. So far, not-so-good AT ALL. @ Steve, he won 16 starts and lost in 12 starts. So he SHOULD BE better than Skelton and more experienced and productive in the pocket. But he isnt... And thats what is concerning. Im with you Steve, this O Line needs to do a way better job at blocking. But you'll notice, even when the pocket hasnt collapsed, he rolls out to his right anyway. I wonder if its cuz he cant see the middle of the field.

    Oline

    Olinemen don't have eyes in the back of their heads. They are responsible to protecting and area called the "pocket" for a short amount of time. If you leave the pocket, your on your own. Reading the blitz or rush scheme is also the responsibility of the QB. Certainly if the WR's are not executing the scheme correctly that can cause problems. But a good QB can throw the ball away, live another day...not take sacks! This is Kolb's 6th year...was he not learning his craft during his time at Philly?

    over the O Line. 19 stays strong in the pocket, even until he takes a hit. You have 2 admire that. And u have 2 acknowledge that u could build off of that. Kolb needs 2 stand in that pocket, step up, & scramble 4 positive yards (not negative yards or sacks). If the O Line & RB's were more successful on the ground & pass blocking, it would help the QB's tremendously. I hope 2 c some life from Kolb. If we dont see nething, Adam's right, neone supporting Kolb r gna pull their support on Kolb. Because its a competition. If you cant give 19 competition, then ur... Idk. Not good enough.

    Maybe i'm not seeing the same preseason games that everyone else is seeing. It seems to me that most of the time, someone on the defensive line is already in the backfield by the time Kolb has set his feet. Some of the blame should go on the O line. So far it looks like Levi Brown has reverted back to the same player he was before he got the new contract and who knows who will be starting in the right tackle position. They can't seem to find anyone to shore up that position. Maybe when Beanie and Ryan get going, the defense won't be able to key on the QB as much.
