Brick and Mangold both struggled their first seasons in the league. Slauson was drafted as a project. The CS overestimated his progress when they chose to give him the starting job this season but he's performed better than he would have been expected to. Young football players struggle. Traditionally, anyone with a brain knows you need more than 3 games to actually evaluate a starter.
I don't know why the hell you'd bench Slauson right now. Through three weeks he's been our better guard. I did not expect him to look as competent as he looks.
If you're prone to making horrible decisions about young players three games into their careers as starters, you'd definitely make this move.
Slauson is fine, stop overreacting. When another lineman blows a block, we let it slide. But when Slauson does it he's under fire.
Our offense is clicking, we win 2 huge division games, and you guys want to throw a wrench into the offensive line and start a raw, D2 rookie from UMass? How many times has sanchez been sacked the last 2 games?
LMAO I just love the stroke victims on this board..... complaining about the Oline today? Really? I say Oline because it is a unit. As a unit they were fantastic against a very stout defense. Even with the penalties, Sanchez had plenty of time and the run game was fine...... good god did I get beamed to some parallel universe where Jets fans were watching a different game?
I agree.... we don't have a FUCKIN CLUE as to what blocking assignments Mangold called, first off. I saw one play where Moore looked like a complete idiot, let a guy go RIGHT past him, it was an LB.... Dansby I think who got a clear run and a sack on Sanchez. Whose fault? Moore? Mangold calling the wrong assignment? Who the fuck knows? Someone does, but it aint us. You have to be in the film room with the CS to know who it was that fucked up. I could rip Moore.... and I might even be right, but just as easilly wrong. Usually it's the fault of more than one guy, unless it's just a bad beat. But.... the holding call on Slauson was PURE bullshit.
Nobody sacked Sanchez. Agree entirely that the "hold" on the TD run was a joke of a call. Far worse goes uncalled almost every play by every offense in the league.
Slauss was fine -- the "holding" penalty on the Sanchize's terrific scramble existed only in the mind of Jerome Booger
Damn right. That call was ridiculous. Thank God it didn't cost the game - it could have. Wish Rex was miked for HBO for his reaction to it. Ducasse might get Sanchez killed. He's not ready yet. I'll accept a holding call any day.
