He did a lot behind that line including staying behind it too long, but making the sun shine was not one of them.

Folks say "Oline" and suggest Joe would have done much better behind a line such as Minnesota, because fellow rookie Dalvin Cook averaged 4.8 per carry there. Well after he went down they went to Latavius Murray who average less than 4 ypc. A good running back can make a line look better much easier than a good line making a RB look better. Our own Gio average 4.5 YPC behind the exact same line. 

But as I said I hope it clicks for him this year; he definitely has the raw skills. But if he gets off to a start similar to 2017 watch out for Mark Walton as we often hit on 4th rd picks.  

Just sayin, behind a horrid line, bad coaching and a crappy playbook? Really looking forward to what he can do this year. Kid has extreme talent. Last year was all out scramble to try and save the season in some fashion and avoid embarrassment. They are focused and will be ready to roll.
