We started the season using zone and the line looked like the worst line in NFL history. We switched after the bye and once the linemen got comfortable with the angles the run game emerged and there was even a bit of improvement on pass blocking (although we still had a turnstile at RT). Miller looked better which was unsurprising as his scouting showed he was much better in a drive block scenario.
They need to pick a blocking scheme and use both Free Agency and the draft to stock up on players who have the tools to do that scheme well.
Very well said Joelist. Draft drive blockers from now on if this is the scheme that works for us.
Of the FA's out there I wonder which ones are drive blockers and which ones are not? Haven't went this deep into it.
