We had the same problem last year. Defenses seemed to know exactly when we were running the ball.
But, for me, it comes down to blocking fundamentals and being aware of what the defense is doing. Bodine seems so worried about getting beat at the start of the play that he's not seeing stunts developing a mere 2 yards away. Hence, we'll see a lot of 4 and 5 man stunts.
When you aren't picking up stunts or even seeing them develop your QB and RBs aren't going to have the time or room to do their thing, and we've seen that all year.
I keep hear about the Cowboys' offense, but if our OL can't win in the trenches it will put our defense in a bind that they might not be able to win.
