That is not intended to be a knock on Rex, he is a fine athlete that is a 100% effort type of player. What I am leaning toward is; Until the OL gets pissed, and starts pushing some people around, the running/short passing game isn't going to do well no matter who is back there.
^this^ and as Rocker pointed out, the entire blocking scheme needs improving. Little about it looks 'inspired', plus having Gio pick up blitzes puts him in mis-matches often it seems. Everything looks like it's a 'bubble off', so to speak.
Much has been written about how long this group has been together etc. Why they don't collectively play "pissed" every game is beyond me, especially after how obvious the need to ramp it up and keep it there is/has been for some time now. It's the NFL. You don't let up period, if you want the best shot at winning that is ....
Some say you can place your ear next to his, and hear the ocean ....
