Game are won on the OL or DL.  Its the core of success.  Until this team has stable OL/DLs its going to struggle.

I like Minshew, he's not the long term answer.  He's sure fun to watch!

The OL hasn't been that bad. But our starting C has been out the last two games and our starting LT was tossed out in one game (shouldn't have been imo) and got hurt early in the 2nd last week. So those things certainly will have an impact.
But at least half of the sacks taken have been on Minshew either not seeing the open man or not taking the check down, looking for the big play. He's gotta learn when to throw it away also. He's still young, I still like him and think he can be a semi-long term answer (I think he could play well enough to earn a 2nd contract) but he's gotta play better.

Of all of our issues right now, I think OL is pretty far down the list. Not that we don't need to improve at all there, just not the glaring issue like defense or our young QB making some rookie esque mistakes.
