Our O-Line is our Achilles Heel

I have 2 things with the line, possibly 3.

1st- Marrone is one of the most overrated position coaches in the nfl. Going back as far as I choose, his lines do not develop significantly in any way. You Feel free to prove me wrong with statistics.

2nd Brees had a quick release and climbed the pocket. Hence the saints drafted larger, stronger players in the middle, and faster footed players to run the DEs around the outside of the pocket. It worked like clockwork unless teams could break the wall of the pocket, but even then long periods of blocking were not needed. The problem I saw with Winston last year was when he floated back he ran into where the tackles by instinct ran the rushers.
To go with that Marrone has changed the way the line works. Not quite sure but I don’t think the drafted body and style of player supports what he wants to do. It’s trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. It will not work.

3rd is the quarterback, Winston, or Carr is holding the ball too dang long.
But here again that’s on coaching not designing plays to work tot he strengths and get people open quicker so that makes the OL look worse than it is.

As far as Penning, I think the coaching staff has pulled a Turley on him. His game was built on being mean and physical. Now they trying to make in into a technique player and it’s not working. Don’t draft a mean nasty player and make them into a happy joyful person. Didn’t work for Turley and won’t work for Penning
