Offensive Line: It's NOT the Players. It's the Scheme

The blocking scheme is defective - our linemen always are too high and they also retreat immediately making for a tiny pocket. In the run game they don't fly off the snap driving into the defense. They lack aggressiveness. Communication is obviously a problem and so is reaction. So, we are using a scheme that is too complex for the current state of the line. It needs to be simplified into something that they CAN process and execute.


Yes, but how many times have we had to simplify the blocking scheme recently? Lazor did it, Turner did it last year.....while coaching may certainly be an issue, lack of talent is DEFINITELY an issue. That 2015 draft crippled this team, Billy Price didn't help matters.
