He's really not. IrishNW is entirely correct in his assessment of Wilson's play. He's doing all these things.
We should avoid trying to place all the blame on one place (the offensive line). Life is rarely that black and white. Wilson is playing poorly, AND the line is playing poorly.
Those who are pointing out that sliding an offensive lineman into a new system is not a plug-and-play thing, are absolutely correct. There is a learning curve. You have to consider the team's playbook, its blocking principles (man? zone?), the team's protection philosophies and how both Britt and Wilson prefer to call them, chemistry with the left guard...there is a lot to consider. And you guys cannot prove that Brown is in top physical football shape, either. He might be, he might not be. There's a risk.
Would an in-shape Brown, on an island without any technical considerations, still prove to be an improvement over Rees in pure pass blocking? Honestly, Rees is bad enough to where the answer is probably yes. The question is whether it would be ENOUGH of an improvement pick to be worth a first-rounder, a pick which is supposed to be a franchise changer, as well as worth casting off another player. If Brown took us from Rees' PFF grade of 30 to a grade of 50, then no, the net gain wouldn't be enough. There are in-house alternatives that can make up that gap (like Matt Tobin, or calling a better playbook in the first half).
Entirely correct is a huge over statement. The tone in this post is very condescending, maybe try and make it a discussion rather than just using your opinion as fact.
I don’t really agree, either.
Compensation aside (because it’s pure speculation), moving from a 30 to a 50 rating (and 50 might be a bit low for brown) would be absolutely massive. Cutting pressures/knockbacks from the highest in the league to average would do wonders for execution of the entire offense. To many busted plays from Odi. The QB/RBs needs to trust his LT or silly stuff is going to happen.
The in house alternatives listed are odd to me. As if we wouldn’t have tried these things before to ‘make up the gap’. Tobin and play calling won’t save us.
