Thought on OL post Detroit

[toffee]

My thoughts:

1. Haynes did alright in his 20+ snaps, that's good news.
2. Stone was abused, that's not good moving forward.
3. Tomlinson and Williams are still so so, but improving?
4. Bradford may face more competition from Haynes?
5. Cross wasn't elite in this game when faced with Lions' Huchingson (typo)?

Overall, in this game, our interior linemen did better than the two tackles?

Your thoughts?

I'm beginning to think Haynes landed in the dog house. Bradford is a liability.

Cross was okay, he didn't have help all day like Stone.

You mean, like, he landed in the doghouse before the season and thus had to give up his spot to Bradford?

516 yards and 38 first downs. Pretty damn good job considering, imo. Even Stone played well against one of the best D lineman in the league.
Stone was abused? He didn't even give up a sack.

Stone suffered 10 QB pressure, but Cross got 9. I think Stone received more help than Cross

Fair enough. Just going by what I heard from Bump this morning. Meh. Stone is what he is. They still put up 516 yards and 38 first downs. They clearly didn't suck as much as some might think.

I am with you on this one, just imagine how potent our offense could be if the OL during on all cylinders.

No doubt. Feels like it could take some time for them to gel overall. Unfortunately, I'm to the point where I don't think Lucas plays all season. Sigh

No. It's why he hasn't supplanted Bradford and his mental errors and six penalties.
