We should build TWO OLs

[Boltx]

I'm only half joking here.

I read this yahoo article a week or so ago about how Belicheck and the Patriots rotate in a lot of guys on the OL. Some of it is by necessity given injuries and whatnot...but a lot of it is also by design. Cuts down on injury potential and you keep your OL fresh to keep beating on the opposing team for an unrelenting 60 minutes. I don't think it's any coincidence that the Patriots are able to keep the pressure at a high level for a full 60 minutes every week.

i noticed at times they played with 0 starters. Zero. week 5.

At this point I'd settle for one.

Espn LATAM comentators were very critical of the chargers and their way of managing the OL, in their opinion injuries are not an excuse, they simply though they are doing a poor job at managing the unit.

For whatever its worth I liked hearing that since it was an unbiased opinion from someone who doesnt give a shit about the Chargers.

I mean, why not.

Teams rotate bodies at other positions.

[KNSD]

The Chargers have been rotating bodies at OL for the past four games.

The Chargers have been rotating bodies at OL for the past four years.

Fixed it.

Build two?

They can't even field one healthy unit.

Good. That guy's two penalties a game (look it up) aren't exactly helping us.

By the way, I saw Robinson and Watt on several plays just standing there after the rest of the line was knocked back on their asses and Rivers was getting squashed. Standing there, three yards in front of the action at the LOS blocking NO ONE. They just had Steelers running by them and then they had no one left to block. Fucking ridiculous.

And Robinson quit on that pick six.

They did build 2 Olines: The 1 they coached up in OTAs and TC that would excel at run blocking and give us a balanced offense - and the other 1 that shows up on game days. :coffee:
