Good stuff. I think Tom is being honest. After listening to that, I realized that my bashing of him the other day was WAY off track. I'm a little embarrassed, but that's just the passion and disappointment of a fan showing.
Listening to Tyler Polumbus on with John Clayton the other day, he says that Tom Cable is one of the best OLine coaches out there, and we're lucky to have him. I trust Polumbus, and his opinions. Not all of them. I disagree with moving Joekel to Left Tackle, because I (now) trust Tom and Pete to put the best players in the best position to succeed.
Last year, that wasn't so obvious, but I think they tried some stuff that didn't work in the previous 2 years, and have realized that they need to "go back to basics." Why would the try different stuff? Because they're aren't any good OLinemen available coming out of college. Just look at the last 5 - 10 drafts, and how many 1st round busts there have been.
Listening to Danny, Dave & Moore this morning taught me a few things too. Like someone mentioned above, Graham missed a chip on the DE, and per Dave Wyman, Chris Carson missed one also. Add to that Dave Wyman's Chalk Talk where Chris Carson didn't widen his route enough for the 1st passing play to succeed,
and you can see that there's a lot more to the OLine's blocking scheme than just the 5 guys up front.
I think the OLine is going to show vast improvement this week, but we have to temper our expectations some. We're putting a completely new Offensive Line out there, with a rookie, a new guy, and a guy coming off of an injury. But I'll predict that Thomas Rawls lights it up Sunday.
If you want to hear some good information concerning the Offensive Line play, listen to the
first 15 minutes of this Danny, Dave & Moore podcast,
Matthew Hasselbeck on the John Clayton show, and this
John Clayton w/Tyler Polumbus podcast.
