It isn't the players.  It sure as hell isn't the RBs.  It is the predictable formations, gaps, and assignments that repeatedly fail and are not addressed that is the issue.  Coaching, coaching, coaching.  Nothing will change until that changes.

Exactly. Look at the Vikings, for example. They tried year in and year out to bolster that offensive line and struggled. They had some misses, but kept trying and now look what they're doing on offense with a backup QB and RB.

I'm not saying Mixon is a problem. I'm saying we can't sit here and say one running back is terrible when everyone else has been. We will continue to struggle until we fix this rushing attack. That comes from the players.

Ogbuehi has NEVER been a good LT. Jake Fisher has taken some major steps back. Bodine is bad. They just threw in Hopkins who many people had hopes for but ultimately also struggles. Even Boling has struggled here and there.

The offensive line is a mess. Communication errors. Awareness is lacking. Scheme is terrible.

Heck. Who's even the leader of that offensive line? Who's the guy everyone goes to so they can figure out what to do and fix?
