It's causing his play to deteriorate as well.  He's running scared and reverting to making some of the mistakes we thought he eliminated last year because he just can't trust these clowns up front.  

I hate it, b/c I always want this team to draft help in the front 7, and this time they really need it.  However, I'm warming up to the idea of grabbing OL right out of the gate in 1 and 2.  Get Cam Robinson, a guy who most regard as a player who can get it done at RT immediately, then get Pat Elfein in round two to play RG or C.  Spend money on the front 7 in FA after losing Peko, Dansby, Zeitler, and Hunt's deals and cutting Rey M.

......ain't gonna see that from anyone until we change the blocking technique.....which would require the dismissal of Mike's free dinner party entertainment.....which leads us back to ain't gonna see it. Also, honestly, aside from the bad throw for the INT, I haven't seen much bad from Dalton.
