I think that IF you put a competent running game along with his skillset right now, that competent coaches could win.

With the lack of run game, the Steelers created the template to defend us. You basically rush 4 and get pressure. Then take a way the mid-range throws as best you can.

I notice quite a bit of pressure coming from the edge defenders crashing inside.
When looking at the replays, I most often see the OTs disengaging at that point, seemingly expecting the OG to take over the zone block. But instead, the OG is engaged with someone else, and the defender is right through.
This screams confusion and/or miscommunication.

While I've never played OL, from what I've learned, zone blocking is more confusing than man blocking. I get the impression these OL guys are often blocking the wrong person in situations like that. My thought is while there still might also be issues with it, would it make sense to change to a man power blocking scheme such that each OL can fixate on a guy and go?
