At first I figured we were just getting manhandled on the line for easy sacks, simply being overpowered.
for a clearer explanation of what I am talking about, think about Jon Carlson trying to pass protect for hasselbeck against then Houston defensive end Mario Williams a few years ago. guys getting owned one on to bull rushes which is always debilitating.
however on further review of the st.louis rams game, it appears to be more of an issue of fits and understanding assignments than a simple case of rookies being overpowered. the sacks were largely the case of people flat out missing assignments, allowing for free runners off the edge to get at Wilson.
While on its surface this may look like there is no difference, missed assigments and schemes can be fixed within a week. something Pete seemed to elude to as he said "the problem has already been fixed". this seemed really odd for an Oline that while battered, seemed to have improved to at least serviceable over the last two games.
I don't think we are in as bad of a situation as we think, plus bren and kung coming back.
