thread 🧵
that first one (the only one I can watch) is mainly on Brendel,... Zakelj can have part of the blame but the main culprit there is Brendel,... he ends up giving his back to the play,... as he always does
That first one isn't on him
heres a couple more
RBs f**king up, not the OL.
Never thought I'd see you trying to put lipstick on this Brendel pig lol.
That first clip was definitely on Brendel. Rich goes to extremes sometimes to prove his takes and while I respect his opinion he's not always right and that case is one of those.
Obviously we understand the situation. Brendel is the likely frontrunner for the starting C job until we add someone to really push him. My hope is that Kyle takes things on the OL seriously. Whether it's talent on the line or the schematic issues we keep running into where we have guys blocking air or double teaming someone who isn't really even rushing while we get free runners coming in on Brock...we have to get ahead of that stuff. Brock does a great job of making plays in those moments but can't expect him to be on it every time. It bit us in the ass in big moments in the SB and cost us a Lombardi.
Rams have a great DL now. Seattle D is improving. Detroit will likely be hitting DL heavy as well. Eagles will make sure they can plug in Josh Sweat's loss. Arizona will improve.
We can't keeping the OL can down the road and have to stay ahead of other teams and make sure they don't have a beat on our pass pro rules. KC was taking advantage of them and other teams took notice. The skill players also have to improve so if teams play man and Brock has to get the ball out quick that we have guys open. Getting CMC back will go a long way. Aiyuk coming back will also help but big unknown when and how with him.
