Personnel changes on the OL

Cruz was an absolute traffic cone on that sack. Maybe that's why he's not playing more. Embarrassing against a FCS team.

Per PFF Cruz was in on 6 passing plays and received a 1.6 !!!!

OL improvements are not overnight fixes. A clear issue that I see is communication gaps. They are not talking

Yeah, after watching the second string, I think we got the best five playing, unfortunately

That's crazy to think that the guys behind Petry are worse. He was constantly getting beat yesterday, vs Holy Cross!!

Welp the Cruz no sack streak is over and it was against Holy Cross.

I’m still undecided on the OL coach. It’s obvious we need to improve run blocking but I think the pass blocking has been very good. Certainly way better than what we had the past few years.

We’ve given up 11 sacks in 4 games throwing 191 passes - and we’re not exactly throwing short quick passes.

The biggest gripe yesterday was that every pass play seemed to be 20+ yards down field. It’s inevitable to give up some sacks when facing pressure and also waiting for longer developing pass patterns. I’ve been mostly pleased with the protection.

One thing to remember, we knew this OL coach was a pass protection guy, not a running game guy. We shouldn't be so surprised.
