I know the Buffalo game was bad, like real bad. But in the past couple games despite getting moved around a bit he has been playing some really solid football.
I think he is a better guard than center and was just a fish out of water in that position.

Not just Liam. If I ever see Austin Jackson out and about I owe that man a cold beverage. He is turning into an absolute stud. The whole oline is stepping up.

I think AJ was just a case of a real raw prospect who needed time and coaching to put it together, both things that being a first round pick doesn’t normally grant you. He’s figuring it out now, and while it took a bit showing why Grier drafted him.
Best OL athlete in the league and perfect for our zone scheme. Just needed seasoning like a good steak.
There were signs that AJ would play at an improved level last year but the ankle injury ruined that. Dude is gonna get paid a lot of money, hopefully it’s with us.
Tua had the 2nd fastest Time To Throw this week and he has the fastest one over the season so far. The Time To Throw over the past few weeks has progressively gotten lower. We cannot draw a substantial amount of conclusions from the games Eichenberg is in because McDaniel schemes poor blocking mostly out of the equation. The magic of our offense is that despite the incredibly quick passes we are throwing, the amount of receivers in routes and the high amount of blockers we employ, we are consistently near the top of Completed and Intended Air Yards.
The big jump in our offense from 2021 to 2022 was going from 5 Completed Air Yards per play to 8. And the apparent jump in our offensive line performance this year is mostly due to cutting down the Time To Throw from 2.3 to 2.6 seconds. Those .3 seconds make a huge difference in the NFL.
Honestly, seeing what everyone said about most of our linemen the last couple years cough austin Jackson cough, we could all stand to be a little more patient with our younger players and consider, maybe, just maybe, it’s more of a coaching issue.
When you have a different OC every year, how can you build on anything?
This even applies to our defense! People were calling for fangios job early in the year, knowing that his defense is notoriously complex and was going to take a minute to get going. Now most of our defense is healthy, get healthy soon JP, and we’re looking like a top 5 unit.
This is a playoff caliber team that is still evolving.
No thank you, the man couldn’t throw a ball under his nuts straight. Cost us a few games, could have gotten precious hurt, prob the reason Armsted got hurt to begin with cause he can’t block caca, and who knows who else.
He doesn’t deserve apologies. He was criticized when he was terrible and deserves praise for his recent play, which has been good.
My wife and I went to Tipsy Boar in Hollywood for lunch the Saturday before the Raiders game and saw him there. I’ve had a soft spot for him since.
