Quote:If the offensive line is middle of the league or better the team gets to .500, and I believe that wholeheartedly. The o-line was terrible last year and Bortles tried his hardest but couldn't make up for all of it. If the season sack total is cut in half or better the record will improve significantly.

 

I agree.  Blake tried the best he could, resulting in a lot of bad play by him.  He was doing all he could but it just wasn't going to happen.  Some of the sacks were on him but I feel those were equaled out by the sacks he avoided due to his ability.

 

If the sack numbers can get towards the 30s, the wins will come.  Blake cannot get hit as much as he did last year.  If he does, it may be the end of him.

 

I said it in another thread but I think the OL makes a turnaround with all the improvements in talent, coaching etc.  I think they go from a weakness to a strength.  That's a lot to ask for but I see it happening.
