I remember many times last season Zac saying "we're happy with what we have up front" .

Maybe he just doesn't know how to call a game w/ a crappy OL and OC in Seattle and KC do. 

That would be correct.

Wilson took a ton of sacks in Seattle from dancing around and holding the ball and trying too do too much, same way pig used to get sacked in pitt. Their lines would never be called bad, Ben just held on a long time waiting for the big play and doing multiple pump fakes.

Other teams with bad OLs that have success do so by not running empty set after empty set. It's absolute stupidity to look at an OL group and go, these guys aren't that good, but hey we can run it empty set and the young QB will be fine. KC has a running game, and used a lot of quick throws, jet sweeps and kept the defense honest. Smart play calling as their OL started to crumble. It's also bush league for some posters around here to use them as the reason you can win with a bad OL when you look at their own belief on the matter. What did KC did this off-season when strapped for cash against the cap? Found ways to still sign OL improvements.

When you line up 5 wide and in shotgun versus T.J. Twatt, and Myles Garrett, and Bosa, and etc, etc... it ends poorly. A good coach wouldn't do that... so, think it is safe to say Taylor isn't a good play caller or just isn't a good talent evaluator. Because he either believed the line last year would hold up or he didn't understand how to help them.
