oldschool Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 4 hours ago, Face said: Mariota being terrible & running into some sacks doesn’t excuse this OL He’s never taken a high % of sacks, even last year outside of the Raven game he didn’t take that many. He definitely had a more deer in the headlights look this year but this OL has been atrocious. The RG spot is very important. It may be the 2nd most important spot on the line because most formations don’t give it any help, the center almost always helps the LG. Jamil Douglas was horrifying & now Nate Davis is worse. Tanny got sacked 4 times in 16 passes & at least one of them Davis was a turnstile. From what I’ve seen there’s no way they can put him back out there again. They HAVE to play Kelly. Davis is literally killing the line. I think if they make this 2nd change the offense will open up. But the pass protection was absolutely not all on Marcus, he was bad but not the scapegoat for everything. Davis has had 2 really bad games and I think he should be benched for a healthy Pamphile. He simply doesn't have the strength and technique to handle NFL defensive lines at this point. That being said one guy struggling doesn't make the entire OL bad which has been a common narrative this year. If you look at the metrics other than sacks the OL has been average at worst. I think the OL will look way better with Tannehill as the offense won't be in 3rd and long all game. Of course the flip side is that he takes sacks too so fans will likely still harp on it as an issue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't take sacks under Mularkey because Mularkey max protected and ran more 2 man routes. And the OL, while not great is absolutely getting too much blame. It's been said by many experts, sacks are on the QB more than the OL in most cases. The problem is Tannehill also takes too many sacks and has a slower delivery Their career sack percentage is pretty close. Tannehill is slightly better with 7.9 vs 8.1%. The difference to me is, Tannehill has the arm to overcome that. Mariota doesn't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is Tannehill also takes too many sacks and has a slower delivery This is exactly why teams figured him out so easily in Mularkey’s second year. They just stopped biting on play action. Once they did that all they had to worry about were two wideouts and Mariota couldn’t hit them and Mularkey didn’t trust him to spread it out and deal with blitzers. edit: this also coincided with Demarco Murray’s production falling off a cliff and more Derrick Henry playing time.

I told him the same thing and discussed the QB situation a bit. His response ‘man, all I can do is block when they put me in and block for whoever is behind me’. Good guy.

If a former member of the Ducks staff is saying it it means more than a public comment from his current head coach. What kind of head coach would say "yeah this guy sucks DON'T draft him" lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
