Completely agree that it’s time for more muscle on the OLine .
In the end frankly Geno is just OK but can’t rise to bigger moments.

We need to run more once we can run better. We're having Geno pass more because it's better than our run game.

We simply need more creativity in the run game. Inside hand off is like 90+% of our running game, even when we're on our 4th or 5th string RB. The reason why we were getting good mileage out of some inside hand offs earlier is because we were using them as a play on our pass game. It wasn't because we're a great running team, it's because we'd already spread the D out for our passing game and Penny and Walker are fast.

We need to go back to run more sweeps, more outside, bring in the FB more, and try and make space for our RBs. Our OL isn't beasting open gaps for us to just inside hand off over and over.

As long as Blythe is the C, and Jackson/Haynes is the RG, this team will not have a consistent run game.

Those 3 play extremely weak against any slightly above average Dline.

THAT'S where the line is consistently blown up.
