I think a lot of it was the scheme. And the stupid coaches not playing the more talented players.
I like Steve but i don't know how anyone couldn't put most all of the blame on PA. He is the one who hand picked
those players, he is the guy that ran that zone blocking scheme, he is the guy that tried to put square pegs in a
round hole when he picked players like Bodine who don't fit this scheme and couldn't coach his players up.
And Lazor is the one who finally changed from this scheme and we saw a bit of improvement.
I put the not starting the more talented players on both Marv and PA, has happened a lot here over the years.
Hopefully Lazor and the new O-line coach have better eye for talent and are allowed to start said players.

The Broncos (at least in the past) got the more athletic linemen and did a lot of zone blocking schemes with pulling guards. I don't think that would be our strength. That might have changed recently, though, as far as Denver goes.
Aggressive directional blocking is clearly what Lazor likes to run and Harding definately fits this better than the Broncos OLC.
