We get no drive, no push from our line - at all ! The DL is 4 yards deep in our backfield on 3 out of 4 plays.
There's way less than zero chances this team is going anywhere unless this is fixed and I doubt that's possible this season.
In a way I agree about the overall technique. Havent been a fan of it for years.
But at same time the talent level on the line just blows for run blocking regardless of technique. Andre and Boling are the only two above average run blockers they have. The other 4 just cant get a push at all. As soon as they fire off the line, it's a giant stalement. And the o-lineman have the advantage to boot as they know the snap count and what play it is.
