They were bad from the beginning of the season to the end and they were giving up a bunch of sacks when they were healthy. I guess now the excuse is going to be they played so poorly because they were injured? Sorry but I disagree. They were just bad
The oline WAS fine, until Reiff went down (and even then, Reiff wasn't a world beater and we could've absolutely improved). Him going down forced Prince into the lineup, who wasn't good at all and made Adeniji EVEN WORSE, which then caused our line to be in shambles and fall apart. That exposed the line as being passable if the starters were healthy, but having absolutely 0 depth and having to rely on backups was a recipe for failure (and we STILL almost overcame it).
Furthermore, do you know what the word, "record," means? 'cause 55 isn't even in the realm of the sack record for oline.
