A bad O line cripples playcalling.

second year wrs cannot get open. idk if its bad route combos but that is on the OC. short and quick opens up long and deep. when teams play 2 safeties the short routes or run game should be available........but they can't stop both. also, the wide splits with a te in the formation is easier to defend. no short crossing routes is missing from this offense as well. i said this 2 years ago!

The tackles are getting killed on the edges. RB's and TE are not holding blocks, not even on the right side of the play.. They didn't have their protection called to where they needed the help half the time. It was a discombobulated mess all night..

I thought Campbell at right tackle was even worse

This. As I remember it, Campbell was beat several times and most of the pressure on Nico came from his side. And wasn’t he pulled in the second half? Our O-line remains our most glaring weakness, it seems, four years into this coaching staff.
