The Offensive Line

[Sgt PSN]

An embracement of poors? 

[PhillyPhreak54]

Brzezinski
Artis Hicks
Hank Fraley

Those were the top three subs

Steve Sciullo
Alonzo Ephraim
Adrien Clarke
Trey Darilek

Those four were average and good 1-2 game fill in's

Scott Young.....AWFUL
Ian Allen...AWFUL

[JackStraw]

so it's agreed - The Offensive Line truly is?

embarrassment

per marty, winston & mcglinn the line has played well and you're all just a bunch of haters.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Teams will continue to overload the line and blitz until McGlynn improves at the mental side of the game.  Also, Nick Cole proves time and time again that he should be a backup and yet keeps getting trotted out there.  The tackles will both miss plays but are average (Justice) or above average (Peters) more often than not.  Herremans is fine.

Honestly, I think that McGlynn will be better and better over the next few games.  If Hank Fraley can be the center of a playoff team's line, then McGlynn certainly can.  Plug Reggie Wells in there at RG, and let the guys play together a few games.  I'm not saying that they'll be a dominant line, but they should be good enough with the speed and playmaking ability at the skill positions.

I can't mention enough how much I hate Nick Cole.  He is average on a good day and needs to be thrown in a fire.

diddy said cole is the only lineman hes seen anything out of this year

[smeags]

at least peters is proving his pro-bowl selection was legit.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Define "anything" in a certain way, and I might agree.

[ice grillin you]

said hes been good in the run game...im not here to defend nik cole...my point is that how bad is the line when nik cole is playing the best football out of all of them

[smeags]

i wonder if vick makes it past the skins game.

[ice grillin you]

awesome bowen

The Eagles' offensive line is improving so quickly, it actually ended the week with one less sack allowed than it had when the week began.

The team said that upon review, the NFL agreed with o-line coach Juan Castillo, who contended that when Michael Vick pounced on a fumbled snap last Sunday, ending what looked like it might be a handoff play, the Detroit stat crew was incorrect in awarding the Lions a sack. So the Birds enter Sunday's game at Jacksonville with a league-high 11 sacks allowed, instead of 12.

Boo-ya, indeed.

[SunMo]

this is like christmas for all the beat writers who have been continuously shtein on by andy.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

No, this is just the appetizer.  When the team loses to the skins, it will indeed be Christmas.  Or Yom Kippur for many of them.

[General_Failure]

I'm thinking it really gets going when they lose to Dallas again.
