Our problems on both sides of the ball are being at least partly caused by playcalling.
While it is true the OL has not looked good the playcalling has also been vanilla and done little to fool defenses on down and distance, which is letting defenses tee off on us.
On defense, Guenther's insistence on playing cover 2 is putting huge pressure on the front 4 to get immediate pressure. If they don't the scheme is tailor made for TEs and RBs to have a field day over the middle. This is exactly why Zim only rarely went into zone and even then was known to specifically assign a DB to the TE.
