I think what deemed it as such, was that the top 5 fast-release QBs (Andy was second behind Manning from 2012-2014/5 or something like that) all had absolutely god-awful pressure numbers for their olineman, while we were stout and great in the number department.

The run blocking was bottom 12 for half of those seasons; only year everything clicked well was 2014, the year when everyone and their mother got hurt at the end of the season.

EDIT: Did want to say too, Stoolers really did have an AWFUL line; Beachum got better, but sucked at first, Gilbert still sucks (but doesn't get flagged anymore) and Pouncey has been the most overrated olineman in the league, since he came in (until Ryan Clady retired).

Then you have Foster, who's been the biggest POS, yet had manned the LG position for this entire decade and DeCastro, who's probably the best of the bunch, who was not really that good at all, until 2016 as well.

Of course, they also get penalised very little, which makes them get away with everything and their flaws seem less-obvious.

The thing is when they went to run blocking as the focal point they usually did a very good job of it. I just remember saying "they can do one or the other well, but never both in the same game" a lot on here. Which again, was probably a coaching problem.

But yeah for sure it would be great to have Whit and Zeitler out there!
