There are teams that get it done with patchwork lines.  I'm guessing that's where their heads are at.  You can hide an OL's deficiencies with scheme, playcalling and QB reads.  It looks like they can run block, which is definitely a priority on this team.

Clearly we'll run more in the regular season.  Should have Shady and Dawkins.  Will scheme/playcall differently BUT I agree... the OL should've been more of a priority in the offseason unless we see a dramatic transformation come Week 1.

For sure the play of our OL will be viewed in contrast with what Star and Murphy bring to the table as guys we spent money on in lieu of addressing OL.

Greg Cosell does have a good piece on the game however.  Doesn't absolve the OL but shows how Josh Allen didn't do them any favors and a Nathan Peterman/AJ McCarron, with their experience/ability to read defenses pre-snap, would've looked a lot different.  It's just being young in JA's case, but given the state of the OL, he may not be the guy yet, which is frustrating given his crazy potential.
