Was thinking this morning how much Daniels legs are going to end up masking the issues were facing with offensive line for the next guy who may step in.

For all you QB/scheme experts out there, Im genuinely curious how his ability to escape the pocket and run will end up setting the next guy up for success given his ability to escape pressure-- is it creating a false sense of OL success that will blow up in the next guys face who may not be as mobile?

Not after the revelation that is Emory Jones. Our tackle spots are now secured for the next 2/3 years. As a result, our bigger less athletic guys can play inside. As long as we can get the timing issue with the center fixed, OL is about to be a huge strength of this team.

Howard with this line throwing to Nabers, BTJ, Bech, Hilton, Lacy is going to be so much fun to watch.

Good to hear, Im not keen enough on who the guys were as players to know if we were truly set up for success with the pipeline.

Jones will probably be moved inside when Zalence Heard comes in next year.

I think the OL is starting to put it together.

Who are our best 5 on the OL?

Campbell
Dellinger
Jones
Turner (least incompetent C)

Who is the next? Bradford, Shorts, Frazier, Hill, Dumervil, etc..

Daniels just needs to trust his arm and make a decision to get the ball to his playmakers. I like his running ability but at some point he's going to get fricking smoked.

If you watch the reviews or 360 of the last game, you will see that the offensive line protection was excellent. No protection will be perfect but they gave him plenty of time to execute pass plays on Saturday.

This is what I thought before the MS ST game but Jones looked like a natural . Nice problem to have though.

The running part should be first intended to buy time to find a receiver. JD does not generally do this. There are times to take off, but he does it when not necessary. This is a problem.
