This is quite possibly the worst four game stretch for a guard I have seen in recent memory. This is not sustainable.

He atleast displayed upside with his run blocking last year. But he has completely regressed in both run and pass blocking this year.

We need Hernandez back in the starting line up ASAP.

He gets overpowered quite easily. Not sure what is going on with him. He didn’t play like this last year. Coaching?

I was a nonstop advocate in the offseason for not rolling with Adams, that we needed to strengthen the IOL, and we shouldn't be sitting on all that cap space. It was crystal clear to me that the IOL was a weakness on a team predicated on running the ball. Monti very clearly failed to see the writing on the wall.

I'm no connoisseur of O-line play, but even to my untrained eye, it's apparent that he's really, really struggling.

I don't want to put all of the offensive unit's struggles solely on him, but it's tempting.

Yes, I think Will "coke machine" Hernandez should get some reps at RG, asap.

He was really bad last year, and he is somehow worse now. PFF has him ranked 89/95 for guards. I understand wanting to develop homegrown talent, but leaving him as a starter is negligent at this point.

a 5th round pick drafted in the third and forced to start. Is it his fault or the stupid GM

Adams was pretty good at run blocking last season. :) He was just horrible at pass blocking. :bang:

I think Brown is worse. Adams is hot and cold. Brown is consistently playing at back-up level

That one sack early in the game was like brutally stupid. Benson was chipping Nwosu and Adams is his man so we have 2 guys blocking him. Benson is on the outside so all Adams has to do is be on the inside, Kyler is stepping up and I think the plan is to throw the ball to Benson, but Adams foolishly goes outside Nwosu comes inside and sacks Kyler before he can get the ball out. I mean the only way that results in a sack is if Adams lets Nwosu inside and he does, just steer stupidity

This is a top 5 Offensive Line guys.

Don’t worry about it I’m sure MO will start to fix it in his 6 year rebuild plan.

I think Hernandez will start next week.
Man I hope so.
Either way guys coming back from knees almost never perform at their previous level right away...unless they're Adrian Peterson...
And in all honesty as much as I want Big Will back on the field I worry about throwing him in the mix too quickly.
Linemen have 300 pound dudes falling all around those knees nearly every play. Has to take a psychological toll on those guys for a while.

Definitely hope Will Hernandez is good to go Sunday we need better run blocking ASAP.
I keep seeing predictions we're going to open up and start throwing the ball more, I think we will I think we will play less 3 TE sets going forward but we also HAVE to get the run game going. Even when Conner was playing he was only getting 3 YPC and was under 2 against the 49ers when he got hurt.

One of the things i noticed repeatedly in the Warner video was how the defenses just ignore our play action. Kyler has to do a much better job of faking it, but we have to run more to get teams to honor those fakes too
