Good grief.
Folks, we've been watching it for some time now. Frankly I'm shocked we've made it this far as is.
Along with a healthy D, we are and have been in need of a capable O-line. Every play begins at the line, and that's where it's failing often. Every OC, RW, discussion of how long a play takes or breaks down...all of those rants are born of one issue - an extremely sub-par Oline. Do you think we're getting even 30% execution of our plays called? No, the breakdowns (at the line) are often and brutal, turning any scheming/planning into a RW scramble and save (which he has done often and also why he's amazing).
Sure the Oline we have here might shine here and there, but there's no easy escape from this reality. We need a (very) well conditioned Oline stat, and that will take major work. Get an Oline "capable" (to downright frightening) and you lessen injuries on D (not having to be out there as much) and move the ball/score.
Asking RW to juke and scramble a win each week just isn't realistic (and yes, we have a GREAT QB).
May as well swallow that pill and do the work necessary for the above.
It's all entertainment anyway.
