What's wrong with the offensive blocking?

But the fact is the bulk of the rest just aren't that good, average at the very best. Then you add in everything else (bad scheme, bad coaching, bad playcalling, no chemistry - different line every game, and effort and motivation come into play)

Basically this Oline needs a total overhaul.

Price and Jordan are total busts. Hart is decent run blocker but this isn't 1975. Spain and XSF are probably backups at best. Johnson is a question mark ? A lot of people pimp Hopkins but he's only average. Redmond is hot garbage with way to many penalties.

I know that would be ideal, but doing a complete overhaul with a whole new group of OL just isn't realistic.
So what can be done incrementally to make progress?

I feel like scheme change is the first thing that will result in improvement. Cater the scheme to the strengths of most of the players.
Then replace a few in the offseason to where your ultimate goal is.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive.

Sorry for Party Rocking!
