Are they grading our OL on a curve? Remember when we thought Bleich was a stud transfer? He’s a penalty machine turnstile The tackles are like pylons. Our defense would love to play against them.

Okechukwu below 50. Holy crap. Didn’t see that coming

Okechukwu below 50. Holy crap. Didn’t see that coming

He’s played dreadful all season

Guy thinks he’s in the NFL

He’s about to not even make a practice squad

How was our QB a 77?

How was our QB a 77?

Because contrary to public opinion, while he has obvious blame, he is not the core issue. He isn't running incorrect routes and he isn't failing to block. We have no receiving weapons and we have a line that doesn't run or pass block. With no running game, teams and pin their ears back and hard rush every single time.

Even elite QBs struggle when they are being pressured every snap. We have no pressure release either because WRs don't get open quickly or run the wrong route. Prime example was when Alford ran a button hook and the pass was for an out. Given the track records of success between Shrader and Alford I'm willing to bet the QB is correct.
