Pls update on linemen

We've had a 6th round Rookie starting at Center (Luke Bowanko) since game 2 and a 3rd round Rookie (Brandon Linder) starting at RG since game 1. We're starting to get the feeling that we might have our Center and RG of the future in them.

Sam Young has started the last 2 games at RT while Austin Pasztor still comes back from a broken hand. He should be back this week or maybe the next.

Zane Beadles has been pretty bad at LG. A little bit of a disappointment right now.

Joeckel has now only played 4 games and 1 quarter at LT in his NFL career. He's still learning, as is this whole very inexperienced young line. Of course there's a lot of hope for him still, but he hasn't been very good either at times.

We knew it'd take some time for this OL to get more cohesive with each other, but they're slowly starting to figure it out

I wish we could trade that early season division game against the Colts in a couple Sundays for the Jaguars instead. Having a couple games left in your pocket against the Jaguars late in the season is dangerous even if some people think those are easy games. The Jaguars will probably be playing better football at that time. Blake Bortles, if he stays healthy, will more or less be playing with more confidence and experience by then. It's better to play the Jaguars right now while they are winless and struggling.

There's no probably about it, this team will definitely be playing better down the stretch of the season. For one, because they couldn't really play any worse lmao (esp the first 3 games), but Bortles is only going to get better and we'll get Marcedes Lewis back in 6 more weeks. The rookies on the OL will only get better, as will our 3 rookie WRs.

Checking in 2 years later. Still good to see you all, it looks like we finally have 2 franchise QBs in this division. Im all for it tbh, makes it more interesting

There will be three once Ryan Mallett gets a chance to play. I'm dreaming anyways. LOL.
But Ryan Fitzpatrick is 3-1 for now. He'd be 0-4 if it wasn't for J.J. Watt. But it's a team game.

I think the texans are a team that would be great if built like the seahawks/ravens. Texans could do well with a game manager type QB, in the Wilson/ Alex smith type category. Let defense and running game do the heavy lifting.

I wasn't all that high on Bortles coming out, I wanted Teddy Ballgame all day. I can't deny that Bortles is definitely looking like he's the real deal. It's been a long time since we've had a QB like him on this team.



Mallett isn't anything special. I think you guys would be better off trying to develop Tom Savage, or seeing how the QB crop falls next draft.

why cant the rams play jville... i just want a win.

We'd destroy the shitty rams
