While OL play is down somewhat across the league ours is in a special category of bad - which I have heard the sportscasters in several of our games note. And that special category is the constant issue of letting defenders in unblocked. Bodine, Og, Fisher and Hopkins have all done this multiple times this season, with it being a speciality of Bodine and Hopkins.
When your line constantly whiffs and lets defenders fly in untouched guess what? It makes running impossible, makes any type of rhythm or timing in passing impossible (which especially hurts us as the offense is designed around timing routes) and yes it speeds up everyone's clock. It also can be dangerous - it's only a matter of time if this continues before we have a RB or QB carted off the field.
At this point they need to bench players aggressively, run mass protect all the time and abandon the pulls and zone blocks for simple straight ahead stuff and just try to get out of the season with no major injuries. Then open the pocketbook and restock the OL.
