Like most of you, after every loss, I am overwhelmed with feelings of pain and frustration, and I am beginning to wonder if this regime, Gus and Dave, will ever get any traction with the rebuilding process.


But after a few days' reflection, I think fixing just one thing would give us a lot of wins: the offensive line. Consider that the last two weeks we have held our opponents to 17 and 16 points. Most teams would win games where they held their opponents at that level.


Plus, our offense has been moving the ball. We just haven't been putting the ball in the end zone.


So what solves this problem? A running game. When you get down to red zone, and the passing game is constricted, it's the running game that puts the ball in the end zone. It's the running game that keeps the opposing defense honest. It's the running game that controls the clock and keeps the other team off the field. And it's the offensive line that generates the running game.


So to me, it's just the offensive line that needs to improve for us to win a bunch of games.


We're actually a lot closer to success and winning games than we realize.
