I'm not big on Turner, but I dont know if there is an OL coach who could get a whole lot more out of our guys. We get ran over an pushed around all the time.
Not only pushed around, but defenders are beating our guys off the snap far too often. I get sick of seeing rushers in the backfield before Joe even has a chance to plant. Today, guys were flying around Jonah and Hart untouched, and penetrating up the gut with regularity.
If the o-line issues were a recent development, it would be one thing...but damn, we're about 4 years into this now, with no signs that it's going to get better any time soon. Between whiffing on draft picks (Og, Price, Fisher) and signing backup level or mediocre linemen as starters (Hart, Miller, XSF) - it's left the line in a mess, with no real options, or talent, at their disposal to try to improve much this year.
Then, there's scheme and coaching, which has also been a reoccurring problem. All these issues combined have left them with one huge fustercluck of a situation. If the o-line (adding talent and better OL coach) isn't the #1 priority this offseason, then there's no other way to look at this front office/HC as anything other than inept and clueless.
