What has been the problem ? Can it all be blamed on the Oline ? Is our lack of being able to run the ball on 3rd and 2 up the gut that's killing us ? Has the play calling been some of the issue ?
We just can't have half of our RZ appearances end in FG's this season given our schedule. To me this has been one of our bigger issues and it needs fixed.
Nice thread BF74. This is where I expect the biggest improvement on this team because of the OL we brought in. The reasons
why we sucked were a combination of bad OL play as you say couldn't run the ball in short yardage and Burrow was pressured
all the time in the Red Zone as well. With Cappa, Karras and Collins who are great run blockers and decent pass protectors this
should take away the bad combination we had going the last few seasons on Offense in the RZ.
