he tackles are really poor of course but to be fair I'm struggling to see anyone consistently winning their individual battles (Is it me or is Ced looking like he's just wandering around out there..at no point have i seen simply try and blown the snot out of someone - he's just trying to get in their way).
Those G-T pull plays s are taking an age to develop as well meaning the backside pursuit is a factor.
At the start of the season I was trying to be a bit pragmatic with Alexander based on the fact we have had decent lines previously (who have at times been real good at pass pro..run blocking has never been stellar) but the combination of their recent draft picks with the way they approach games / way too passive , lack of aggression means I'm pretty much done.
There are really no more excuses left - for the second year in a row the play of the OLine is going to be arguably the biggest on field handicap we have to success
That was my issue with when people said with time the line would gel. Guys are individually losing battles. When that happens...you're pretty much done.
