Quote:exactly.....none of the OL are playing well....and on top of that none of the RB are really running well because the OL is not blocking well. 

 

I just don't know who deserves more of the blame for the problem Fisch (ZBS) or the OL coaches.

 

Isn't our offensive line coach in the hospital?   I seem to recall we are using our assistant o-line coach, Luke Butkus.   Our top offensive line coach hasn't been here. 

 

My opinion is that it takes an entire offensive line to play well.  There's a lot of helping, double teaming, shifting, passing off defenders on the fly, etc.  If and when they jell, they will all look better.   If the ball is snapped and the offensive lineman suddenly realizes he's got the wrong guy, or if he suddenly realizes he's not getting help, he will be off balance from the start, and he'll often get pancaked.   I think a lot of it might be just getting the guys in sync with one another and that takes time.
