Something is wrong with Cable's coaching pass pro though. I mean I know that's not breaking news but look at the film of our 300 lb linemen all getting rag dolled! It's not easy to toss a 300 lb man like that if he knows how to balance. We have too many linemen having the same issue for this to be coincidence.
Well, it starts with the personnel. We are the only team that spends less than 10% of the salary cap on offensive linemen. That is not suddenly going to get better by firing Cable in the middle of the season -- the one coach on the offensive staff who gives a damn about running the football.
Rees Odhiambo was terrible last year, and now that the bullets are flying, he looks terrible this year too. None of our personnel acquisitions have made pass protection a priority: NONE. We have TEs who are receivers first and foremost. We have a fullback who is really just a running back in disguise. To a man, every linemen on this roster had issues in pass protection in college.
I don't think Rees Odhiambo is necessarily a Tom Cable guy either. He looked like Schenider's attempt to produce an Alvin Bailey clone to fill the swing role. He's not strong or explosive, unlike the typical Cable lineman (think: Carpenter, Okung, Sweezy, Britt, Glowinski, Ifedi, etc.)
