Thought this may be thread worthy...I see comment floating around everywhere.

This is probably one of the best ISO breakdowns Baldy has done of the OLine in a long time.

These dudes, while still learning, have gotten so much better throughout the year. Some things they do, they do very very well! You can tell they are all coachable and the coaches are doing a fantastic job.

Cards are pulling a ton of linemen to overload a side. That’s the kind of linemen they’ll be looking to add. LG is still very weak. A decision has to be made about Humphries as the Cards are in position to add a premier OT if they so choose. As good as Johnson has played it would certainly be feasible to move Johnson to LT and use the Texas pick to get a RT. That would slow line development, but might provide better overall personnel.

I think it became obvious as the game went on the Philly LB's were just not very good. Their defense last year was predicated on having a dominant DL and a good secondary that benefitted from a great pass rush. This year the DL is still good but not dominant, the DB's aren't as good, and the LB's are terrible. The Cards were able to get movement on their DL and get openings and the LB's were either late or in the wrong hole.

In those highlights you see repeatedly Conner or Carter see the defense and make a cut to the open area and there's no LB there to fill the hole.

We have a good scheme, our RB's are very patient, and the OL is doing a good job of execution and the result has been fun to watch.
