I agree with the effect of the O-line on the run game. Look a few of us knew this is what was going to happen this year. It was predictable this preseason. We began the year with our LT on 6 game suspension for PED's. The team said little about this and stood behind him. (maybe the use was to enhance recovery time between games the previous year?) We threw our shiny new rookie into the fire at RT. Our RG came into the season on a hurt ankle. Reserves were all either beat up or coming off major injuries and had very limited reps before the season. Our center? well let's not deal with that here. I cannot think of a worst way to begin a year.

I believe play calling has been done very well and has been done in a way to limp through games despite the offensive line. I do hate the times they get cute.

The red zone is another issue. They have a bunch of plays in that playbook. They are just afraid to call them. The other teams know this as well, thus the ones that go lateral to the goal line are keyed on. The touchdown sneak Trevor made by extending the ball had zero push by the o-line.

All in all this has been a pretty good ride this season. As a long term fan/season ticket holder I am uncomfortable or out of practice as how to behave LOL
