On the good side we didn't have the plague of rushers coming in unblocked like we did in 2020
Our O-line was weak this year, but 2020 was possibly the worst in team history. We started off without much talent and got devastated by injury. We had 11 different players start on our O-line in 2020 with 3 different players starting at multiple positions. I don't think we had the same starting 5 for more than 3 games.
In 2020 we did not even really attempt to throw the ball deep. Our pass blocking was a nightmare. In 2021 we actually had a slightly higher sack percentage, but Joe was getting the time to throw a lot of deep passes. We gave up way too many sacks but it still looked a lot better than 2020 when he was getting sacked all the time while just dinking and dunking.
