Quote:Agreed.  The offensive line experiment needs to end and we need to get the line to a point where we can effectively run a coherent offense.  The running game is struggling because the lanes are not opening up.  How many times do we call a running play and the back is getting hit before he gets to the line?  I'd say that's probably happening 60% of the time, if  not more.

 

It seems like this team has had a real issue with the line.  When they're opening lanes in the running game, they're getting the QB killed.  When they're pass blocking well, the running game struggles.  That's partly due to talent, but I think coaching needs to be considered as well.  Everyone who thinks Marrone is some sort of coaching savior for this team need only to look at the lack of tangible development with the OL as a unit, and you have to wonder how that level of coaching would translate to the entire team? 

 

On a side note, Omameh actually looked okay at LT, so we might actually have some depth starting to develop.
