Offensive Line is Terrible

Running backs can not run up the middle, can only get yards going outside, same as Q.B. with no time to pass.
This appears to be a total rebuilding year, great for the future but not this year but I think they will be pretty good later this season.

Out rushed them by 53 yards and out passed them by 27 yards. Can you imagine how bad their OL must be? Point is, we GOT the yards. You take what the defense gives you. They weren't giving us the middle.

Don't know what you watched, but my Cardinals will be just fine. QB makes all the difference in the world.

I thought the defensive line was the biggest disappointment. Supposed to be the strength oh this team....but gashed for 7 yards almost ever play.

O-line was terrible. Instead of being down 24-0, a stout o-line could have had the Cards
up 10-14.

Auburn went prevent lite up 31-10, thus enabling the Cards near comeback, and
yards piling up.

First turnover put them inside the 30. Second they returned for a TD.

OP was spot on.

On defense, we only play 3 linemen. Auburn was double teaming one of them. The linebacker's need to pick up the slack. Dawson looked pretty rusty.

The O-Line played a little sloppy today, but it was against the #6 team in the country and against one of the best defensive lines that they will face all season. Every time they let someone through Lamar Jackson made something happen on his feet. This kid has me confident that We will win a lot of games this year. Look We lost and they still gave him Player of the Game. We don't need to have a dominant O-line with him. Teddy Bridgewater didn't have a dominant O-line. Lamar Jackson Threw a pick on his first Collegiate pass just like Teddy Bridgewater. This kid will be just as good.

We gave Auburn this game but never gave up down 17-0. We shanked a Field Goal, missed a deep Field Goal. Fumbled for a touchdown scoop and score in our own redzone. Still We stayed in the game like Champs.

With Josh Harvey Clemons on defense, and Lamar Jackson on offense, I like our chances the rest of this Season. The offensive line will come together. Houston better be ready cause We might just run the score up.

Shaky start, but I was happy as the game progressed. I think they are going to be very good. Considering we all had lots of concerns, though disappointed with the loss I think there is a lot to build on. Let's hope Auburn is all they were made out to be.

Not sure what game so e of you were watching and why you are trying to put lipstick on this pig, but the offensive line was offensive. Rushing and passing yards are not always a reflection of how good or bad they were.

Our O-Line was not terrible, they were TURRIBLE! If not for LJ's legs, the score would have been MUCH worse. Let's not fool ourselves, our O-Line needs to learn to block like the Auburn lineman. Am I asking too much????
