And this touches on something that I have worried about. Our OL is lots better than it's been in the last 15-20 years or so, but doesn't seem to be quite there yet. And, outside of Bijan and Brooks, RBs have been perhaps a bit less than overwhelming. And when one's good, the other not so much.
And less-than overwhelming OL presented a major problem for our self-sacking QB until possibly this season.
Ordinarily, I'd say that's a big problem from Sark and Flood. But they're in year five, which is barely enough time, as I understand it, to develop a talented, cohesive, and effective OL. And we just lost what four of our OL? And the portal is not, again as I understand, anywhere near a complete solution for OL woes.
This is where I think the Days and Smarts, who've been running their factories for a considerably longer time, have a pretty major advantage. And the fact that we got a bunch of OL drafted is nice, but does not disprove my hypothesis that OL isn't where it needs to be and it will take some more time.
