    I think Mawae was important for pointing the little things out to help the linemen around him. That experience and game smarts is what I believe we miss.

    Also, about CJ, he doesn't want to take the "grind it out" hits like Eddie. Especially right now while he desperately wants a big payday in a confusing time for the NFL regarding player compensation. I think he wants a big year, I just think he'll let up before grinding that extra yard, if ya know what I mean.

    IMO, we should have never moved Amano to C. Our team steamrolled against the Ravens in the playoffs with Leroy Harris at C. Now we struggle to get CJ better stats than ARIAN FOSTER.

    Everything starts with the line. Our defense is playing well because our D-line is doing an amazing job. Our offense is struggling (especially the Running game) because our O-line appears to be doing badly. But when Defenses know your going to run and have figured how your offense works they'll send more guys then blockers so your O-line is going to look really bad.

    You notice that when CJ was out of the game the defense relaxed and gave up a 50+ run because, I think, they don't expect Ringer to get carries so they played pass the whole way. I don't think the o-line is as bad as some people might think. I happen to think that the offensive focus on getting CJ carries no matter what is hurting the team overall. CJ is a great runner but when you get hit in the back field or met in the whole time after time you won't get yards. Other teams know that Fisher won't give VY many passing attempts and limit his plays so the only other key you have to look at is CJ. If CJ is in the Game he is the focus for the D. Even when we use CJ as a a decoy we are too obvious about it. I'm think especially of that screen to Bo Scaife. It was clearly a decoy play from the very beginning. Lets just run some regular plays that don't involve CJ in anyway just to keep the D guessing.

    Whatever the problems with the offensive line we can blame it on one man, Jeff Fisher! Out of touch! Probably doesn't even own the latest Kanye CD.

    Name one Filipino center in the NFL who is better than Amano?

    In Fishers defense, who does own 808's and heartbreaks?
