Honestly this isn’t surprising. I think it’s time to admit we don’t have one of the better OLs in football

Most surprising is the Rams for me. They looked to have a terrible OL preseason and they’ve been doing a lot better through 4 weeks than I expected.
Starting all pro RT and starting C are out for the season. Makes sense.
Dawand has been phenomenal but the rest of line seems to be in shambles. Looks like we need to draft a few o lineman.
Wills the whole season so far and the interior was awful in PIT.

Been saying it all year and keep getting downvoted but the reality is, Teller has been cheeks for a while now
Doesn’t help our guys can’t stay healthy either, that replacement center last year was atrocious but I see Conklin, Teller and Pocic getting hurt more than I want to
The OL seems to be better in run blocking than pass protecting. Even though I feel like Watson has more than enough time he’s just holding the ball way too long.
4 Years and we have been 3rd, 3rd, and 4th in the division. Offense has been lackluster no matter who the QB is. Mistake after mistake after mistake. How the hell did the Lions get better before us? Yeah I know why…Coaching. We are clearly behind the ball on that regard in the division.
40 of those are probably Jed Wills, lets not get too crazy here. Rookie at RT Starting Center out, the line is not the problem. LT and QB and HC are the problem. Watson playing will fix most of the problems with the line and calling plays.
Interesting to see the 3 teams we dominated defensively faring worse than us.
Are they down there because Myles/Schwartz wrecked them? Or did we just get lucky to play 3 teams with bad O-lines, and the Ravens game is more indicative of a solid but not great defense?
We have played some tough d lines, and have had weird situations with Chubb going down one game and Watson not playing last game.
Wills has looked terrible, Bitonio is always solid, Pocic needs to stay healthy, Teller is a run block only guy who has been getting exposed on pass blocking, and Conklin is done for the year. Our boy Dewand is playing great for a rookie who wasn’t expected to play but give them time and we will be a solid o line. Maybe not the top line we thought going into the season tho. We really have to start figuring out a replacement for Wills unless he makes some miraculous changes within a few weeks. He’s soft and doesn’t fit in with our aggressive o line
Wills has been a mess, and some of the inside guys have really struggled as well. Watson holding onto the ball for an eternity hasn’t helped either, but this line is bad right now at a time where they need to step up without Chubb
I noticed last week Josh Allen has ages to sit in the pocket and deliver a pass – and when it does breakdown he can still run around. Pretty tough
Jed has taken a massive step back, these 4 games have basically all been, arguably, the worst games of his career. And he’s stacking them up like he wants them for some fucking reason.
Bit and Teller are having a bad start to the year too.
I think it is safe to say we have one of the most talented lines, but they aren’t performing well at all.
If you been watching film at all you’ll notice when they do these pin pulls with Njoku, Teller, Bryant, etc ,most of the time and idk why, two guys block 1 guy (miscommunication) and leave 1 free or don’t climb to the next level to create a running lane. Its frustrating to watch.
Plus defenses have figured out that if you run a stunt on Jed and Joel they don’t communicate and they have been letting someone rush the qb free.
The entire scheme on offense is broken.
Wills has been awful, but Bitonio hasn’t been so bad. Teller seems to have peaked his first year with us and then the quality of his play decreased each year thereafter, including this year so far.
Pocic, I think, was never meant to be more than a stopgap, IMO.
We definitely need to think about our options moving forward at LT, C, and RG.
Every single returning offensive linemen is playing worse this year.
I thought someone had a good point that Conklin going out in week 1 messed everything up because we could potentially have had Jones replace Wills. Or we could have gotten creative with Jones along the line.
This is fantastic 42 is the answer to Life, The Universe and, Everything! It was also Jackie Robinson’s number.
I think the only problem we have for our entire team is the injuries and Jedrick Wills
Ill bet half that number, belong to Wills alone
I feel like this can’t be accurate. Daniel Jones gets the shit beat out of him as soon as he catches every snap.

Jake Burns had a good video going thru the OL, and DL, performance using the All-22. https://www.youtube.com/live/DSgc_3fkDpA?si=7ogwrNwZZuFG7F_g
