So as of right now, next Saturday is supposed to be Rain and +9 in Montreal. Not ideal but maybe takes away the Montreal passing attack a little bit...?

crap weather definitely would benefit us....that being said Scott can be a real work horse and problem on the ground if we see lots of Jake inside...need the active/athletic dline guys for majority if that's the case it becomes a ground and pound contest....Guys like Woods and Lawson who can be engaged and get off blocks to make a play...or divert it to others...not Jake being stood up in place...spun around...or just washed to the side...even his one minimal skill...and minimal at that...his straight ahead push amounts to nothing because he can't do anything off it....and if works past the ball carrier...zero backside pursuit ability

It might be an obvious answer to some but where should the eyes of an interior lineman be as he bull rushes ahead?

well firstly on the QB and where the RB is...or motion he showing....you dont know where ball is...or likely to go...bull rushing straight ahead with does you no real good, especially if the lineman just engages you and lets you do it knowing that it will be ineffective

A lot of Jakes problems is he has zero technical skill....hand fighting skills....and cant get off a block to make a play...just last game alone look how many times Woods was engaged and fought off the block to make the play...get in on making it with others, or just disrupting it...Lawson too...Lawson camm bull rush then toss away his lineman and make a play...Jake cant....for yrs now if ever
