If the offense calls for big, long-developing routes, you need guys who can pass protect for enough time for those routes to develop.

If this OL can only sustain the pocket for no more than 3 seconds and it takes 5+ seconds for these routes to develop, they didn't do a good enough job identifying talent that can do that.

Same kinda thing with the run game fit.

I do agree that it's up to the OL to execute, but that's like expecting someone who has been a manual tester all their life to come in and build test automation. Not every manual tester has the technical capability to do that. If you took a chance that they'd be able to do it and they can't do it (well), that's at least partially on you for taking that gamble.
Sorry for this possible weird analogy, but it's in the area of my expertise.

Well the OL situation clearly points squarely at Taylor, Pollack, and Tobin. Taylor for hiring Turner ( he can coach but an awful fit for it appears any place on the planet) Pollack for a multitude of things but he pushed Collins on them, and Tobin because clearly nobody in the organization can identify OL talent. But Williams isn’t playing well so that’s not on Taylor. Volson is improving. Collins we don’t know what in the world???? That’s not on Taylor. However the inexperience of the OL as a unit should have over ridden the desire to hold them out in preseason. We all know that the Burrow situation has thrown them all a loop and the OL struggles. At the end of the day 0-2 is 0-2 getting beat on end of the game kicks doesn’t matter. They’ve not been ready.
