What stands out in my mind was having to use an extra tackle an extraordinary amount of the time. That's the sign of a weak line. Gutcheck and Stacy Andrews were on that line. As noted above, it's a bit easier to scheme around a bad player or two, but not five of them. In other words, we were able to mask a weak unit......but not a trainwreck of a unit.
Ah,,,,the old eyeball test.
As I asserted, but has been repeatedly challenged. Our QB getting this level of non-protection is new and we don't know how to act. Unfortunately, some have cried wolf about the oline in the past that their crying it now means very little.
