I don't agree--this offensive line is decidedly subpar in quality, depth, and execution. Part of the reason that there aren't more sacks / TFL is that we're running plays like slants, designed for the QB to get rid of the ball before the pass rush blows up the blocking.

Millhouse, as we discussed in another thread last week, the issue is systemic--there's no one root cause of the offensive struggles. It's not just the OL--the skill players aren't good enough, either. But I maintain that with an OL that executes properly, this same group of personnel would be much more effective. See: Pitt and UConn last season.

Like everybody else, I want the skill players to improve. I want guys [like in the late 80s / early 90s] who were threats to score every play, who give us the ability to feature a dynamic, high scoring offense. And I don't view it as contrarian, I view it as overlooking [not you specifically] the cascade effect that happens when the OL can't do it's job.
