[QUOTE="Mondio, post: 973934, member: 10441"] I knew it was bad. Didn't know the exact numbers though. I thought I mentioned it in this thread, but must have been a different one on Jones maybe? Anyway, we were getting destroyed up front. This is what is going to happen week after week after week with any team that has a decent defense. We do not have skill players to cover for an average or subpar Oline. I said it last year too, everyone thought our oline was so great missing all those guys and it was mostly a product of our QB #1 knowing the what when and where no matter what he faced, keeping Mercedes in blocking always and offensive game calling to help those guys out. But every time we got to the money games it was the same, Attack the LOS, everything is happening up front, don't worry about behind you. Over and over and over it puts us into unfavorable down and distances. Those little flare passes etc are great when they are set up to work. When they're defended to blow you up as soon as you catch it, not so great. Slants are fun, except when all passing lanes are flooded with defenders within 7 yards of the LOS immediately after the ball is snapped. We don't have the skill players to have a consistent vertical threat. Our downfield ball is basically get to your drop, launch and hope he beat his guy. There is no developing play. There is no play action that works for us because we can't block it up long enough for it to work. Any team with even good DL and linebackers is going to give us absolute fits until we figure out our offensive line problem. Who cares if we hit 1 or 2 a game. Teams know we can't do it again. There is nothing in the pass game that we can give a look to and loosen a defense for the run game. And our run game is good if it's part of a balanced offense. Problem is, we're not good enough on either end to have an identity and we're stuck in no man's land. If you have some really good pass catchers you can use that to an extent with this QB to overcome that. But we don't. We absolutely need our Oline to do better and play off a successful run game or we have nothing but an occasional play from our QB. It's not a recipe for success. [/QUOTE]
