This is the best the offensive line has looked in the last 10 years. And aside from Thomas, has been healthy.

Unbelievable. Jones didn't just get hit, he got smashed numerous occasions and often by two players . Aikman pointed out several times that he was amazed Jones was still playing after that beating.

They look a bit improved inspite of their lack of talent. My guess is the improvement is due to the much better O line coach; however, it's been 3 years now, under this regime, that the O line keeps failing. They are the most glaring problem for this team. KC revamped their O line after a super Bowl and they improved, winning championships. How many high picks and other resources have they dedicated and the unit is still not that good with such mediocre depth?!!

Yes, but it came at a price, Saquon Barkley.  If Schoen hadn't done such a poor job drafting O-linemen, they wouldn't have had to sign multiple mid-tier veteran O-linemen and that money could then have been used to retain Barkley

Everything comes at a price.

Do you think this team would be better with Saquon?

Where is the line failing this season?

The most glaring problem is the QB, not the line.

Maybe, Saquon was pretty sure-handed, but that is not something that can be said of Singletary or Gray.  I can't give a firm answer because Tracy has played well.

I guess I remember Saquon's hands differently than you 

He was good but not great at catching passes.

Regardless of Tracy's progress, if you put Saquon back on this team at the beginning of the season, is our record the same or better?

I was talking about fumbles

Ian Allen resurrected.

Scouting needs to be revamped and Schoen needs to stop just collecting players and build a team around a philosophy....  whatever it is. NO ID for this bunch of misfits.

The list is long Neal, Hyatt and Bellinger. These guys have disappeared in the Daboll system. Once again the biggest problem. If it weren't for Allen who didn't go crazy until Ken Dorsey became his QB coach this guy would never be a HC.

I never felt like Dabs was the reason for success anywhere, not the Bills, Bama, etc.  Road the coattails of others.
