Its a convenient excuse but its not just the OLine is it...

Core/Malone/ross/Lafell/Erickson/Boyd...take your pick of WR - they've all got potential but does not matter because of the OLine

Kroft/Uzomah/Hewitt ...without Eifert there are no stars but they can get the job done but are being impacted by the OLine

Dalton.....different opinions as some believe 2015 Andy is still there...others point to missed deep balls,etc, some want AJMc - whatever happens it does not happen due to the OLine

Mixon, Hill , Gio....Mixon is way better than J. Hill and best thing since sliced bread- even though he's nowhere near Hills rookie year and his YPC is bad, Gio we have no plan for - whatever it does not matter because of the OLine

even our defense ....billings, sims, Glasgow, whoever else at DT are fine/have potential but they're on the field so much because the OLine is causing 3&outs meaning we give up yards.

So are we genuinely golden apart from the OLine??.. or are we living in a fools paradise that we if we fix the OLine then the rest of the squad has great quality waiting to be unleashed??





 

I wouldn't say we'd be golden.  But the rest of the team could win with just a little blocking.  Might not be SB caliber but we would not be an embarrassment, like we are now.
