[QUOTE="Boomergump, post: 247952, member: 639"] The offensive line got to play a lot of guys, which is good for a ton of reasons. Building depth is great, but so is resting guys ahead of a short week playing a ranked opponent. Parker Braun got to play a lot more snaps Saturday. If I were to guess, combined, spelling both Shamire and Will, I would say he played half the snaps. It was good to see him for more than just a few plays. I have to say, I am impressed. I really really have a good feeling about him. He is a different player than Shaq, but he is just as impactful as a frosh. I feel certain he will be a better player than his brother, if he isn't already. I don't aim to fire up a sibling rivalry, but that is how I see it. Parker is a really good athlete all around. He is fast and powerful, seemingly able to do everything we ask of offensive guards. If I were a broker, I would be buying some Braun stock. I got to see Lee some too, but I will wait to comment until he has some more time. Burden played well. Overall I would say the line played fairly well, but the mistakes and whiffs at the second level continue to be a problem. Most of the stuffs by their defense were just a run past our guy who was there to block but just didn't. Among the ABs, I would say Lynch played his best game ever as a Yellow Jacket, and I am not just looking at the yards. Saturday, he made value added type plays where he turned a little into a lot and nothing into something. That is what I have been critical about him in the past. He made a one handed grab on a pass that could very easily been an incompletion and he defeated some spirited tackle attempts to turn 10 yard plays into much more. Good for him. The long TD reception might have been his least impressive play of the day. That is saying something. Overall, I remain concerned about the blocking from this group.
