The real problem - The Trenches

When Tee is out we're not good, Burton doesn't know the offense, Moss was a set back, Burrow has regressed, We have no true WR #3, of course the play calling, and on and on. And I'm not saying there isn't any truth there, however.

The true problem is we just aren't good enough up front, in the trenches. We have like 3 can maybe push it to 4 decent O and Dlineman out of 9. We suck at run blocking, we regularly see way too much pressure on JB coming up the middle.

We get very little to no pressure on opposing QB's outside of Hendrickson. We get gashed in the run game. The defense can't get off the field and the offense can't stay on it. Why??

We suck in the trenches.

Dig deeper. 

The problem is not paying our good players, letting them walk, and replacing them with inferior, cheaper talent either through free agency or whiffed draft picks. The coaching staff is now being exposed because they can't lean on elite talent. 

It ALWAYS comes back to the front office with this organization. Always.
