I still wonder how much of the problems are talent on the OL and how much are just poor technique, especially given that we have had over the past few years both Munoz and Walter blast our line on poor technique. Things like angles, whether you block firing forward or standing up, making sure you account for your man before doing stuff like pulls and traps and things like that.
Perhaps with the new linemen we should ditch the pull plays and such for a few games and just have them get low then fire off the snap and drive block. It lets them use size more and also simplifies things while they get into some kind of sync.

Andre Smith- above average on running plays
Below average on pass pro.
If we had hit with our draft pick, it was a good decision to let him go.
Tackles sometimes take awhile so give the kid some more time before we call him a bust.
Bodine has had 2 years and four games and remains awful.

Even more reason PA should be fired.

Idk man. It's tough to show patience with a guy when he's almost single-handedly costing the team games. A team with SB aspirations.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
