Hopefully Lock will be able to carry the line the rest of the way until we get some high draft picks in there.
This is further testimony that we must continue to question who it is that is in charge of evaluating the talent pool known as the draft. Wrotto is on the outside looking in. Its too bad that it appears that he's played himself not only out of a starting role, but out of the rotation all together. And by the looks of things, Bryant is not far behind. By this point in their careers, based on their draft positions they should be solid players at their positions. If I'm not mistaken ( which I very well could be) Wrotto was taken in relatively the same place in the draft as Jahri Evans in New Orleans. Something is amiss.
Jahri Evans, the best RG in the NFL, wouldn't have been considered by Ruskell because he only looks at big time college athletes (which I think is a mistake). Evans went to a small school.
I am now truly doubtful about Jim Mora's ability as a coach. It's past the "give him time to properly evaluate him" phase.
Forget that the team as a whole is playing about as well as Mora's secondary last year (underachieving, unmotivated, mistake-prone.)
The 4th down play was a huge mistake. Mora doesn't seem to be cool and collected. He's too emotional, like a fan. I was crying out "no, no!" thinking he might actually do it, and he did. He was lucky it only cost him 3 points.
Each stunt like that he pulls only costs him credibility. He can only have his motivational tactics backfire so many times before his team tunes him out.
