The OL problems are due to injuries. Every NFL team would be in a tough spot on the OL if both their starting tackles were out.
Also Carroll/Schneider have been great at the draft except for two picks. James Carpenter in the 1st appears to be a bust and John Moffitt was more known for getting 86'd from local bars than his actual play was a bust in the third. Those were supposed to be your guards for the next 10 years.
As for Lynch/Bevell, this is where Pete needs to act like a head coach and straighten this out. Come down hard on Lynch that he should never ever disrespect a coach like that again or he's suspended one game. Then come down hard on Bevell that he should never ever let a personal feud get in the way of the team.
Bevell's play calling was getting blasted on ESPN and NFL network last night. He's going to get Russell Wilson killed if he continues this stupidity. Lynch should never only have 8 carries in a game. Also from the one yard line feed Beast instead of put Wilson in a spot where he can get jacked up on back to back plays.
You know your OL is struggling so keep a back and Miller in for protection. Have quick passes or have a draw play. Terrible game plan by Bevell.
Hopefully these rumors are true about Bevell being a hot commodity for a HC job at the end of the season. The situation with Bradley worked out beautifully. I have no doubt in my mind that with Gus's defense the Rams would have scored on that final drive last night. Probably wouldn't have needed that drive as they would have scored on one of the billion possessions the Rams started at midfield.
I find it funny how people are nitpicking the defense so badly when we got DOMINATED in both the time of possession and field position, it wasn't even close and the defense didn't surrender 1 TD. Sure Clemens was in but the offense sure tried their hardest to give him every chance he needed.
That last drive was a result of the defense being completely gassed because the offense couldn't stay on the field.
I like to say 'gassed' as well. I also like to say players are "gassed" if their hands are on their hips or if they are tugging at their shorts. I'm an astute sports guy .
