He was cutting toward the right spot, but 93 and 51 both had their men beat. If he cuts it back to his right, 92 was right there for him. I guess I don't see this huge hole is what I'm saying.
Either way, these are just 2 plays out of hundreds. I don't buy that it was all Hill because Gio struggled to get anything going at times also. Gio only averaged 3.5 ypc over the last 8 games.
I just had those on hand from people bitching about the OL in that game specifically. I had more too.
The second play is a cut back behind Bodine and off Zeitler. But Hewitt couldn't stop 51 at all, literally ran through him and made the play. He never had a chance.
The hole doesn't have to be huge. They just have to be there. They are. Hill just missed them. If you need the large hole, your RB is the problem not the OL. Giant run lanes in the NFL are usually the result of defenses having miscues rather than spectacular OL play.
It's also about people slap blocking responsibility on the OL almost exclusively but forget that FB and WR have to block too. Several big plays have been lost due that. Not OL blocking issues.
