The two big things with the OL that will determine the season are…. When teams stack the box and/or blitz like crazy how do we respond.  Hopefully TD has gotten better in making quick decisions and not locking on one guy.  But the coaching staff is a big part of this.  There needs to be players and schemes drawn up so TD has quick spots to throw to.  We haven’t done this well in the past and so teams just keep applying pressure.

2nd thing is - what happens when the running game isn’t working for whatever reason.  Whether the line isn’t playing well, defense is reading the plays, etc.  There’s going to be games where the running game can’t seem to get going or were in 3rd and long situations.  Then what does our offense look like.  Can the OL block well enough for our passing game to take over, pick up blitzes, hold the pressure off long enough for TD to go through his reads.

I liked what I saw against Ohio, was really impressed with the turnaround.  Lots of potential for a good season.  But it’ll be interesting how the OL responds game in game out to different situations.
