When you can't do basic run blocking, and esp the history of this ol past several seasons, theres legit concerns. Its an eye opener. No excuses imo for basic run blocking and no able to do it

when Dave Jennings would be the best player in a game. Brad Wing deserves the game MVP. That's always sad.
Assuming that K Josh Brown has no "issues" and gets on track game 2, we should be fine on special teams. Obarski's miss was damning and kept us with a donut for the game.
Will Odell be smiling like that when the team is losing in regular season? The OL is Putrid and it won't matter who the receivers are if the OL can't block.
Eli also did not look good. Overall bad effort by the offense
How is the continuity thing working now, maybe, just fucking maybe, you need talented offensive linemen to play together for them to improve, this is only getting worse, and if anyone thinks it may get better, think again, the NFL will expose a weakness like no other league, thy better have a fucking plan.

I think Reese tried this off-season to improve the OL but options were limited. Broncos LT Clady could have been had for a 5th round draft pick but alas we didn't get him, the Jets did.
Also, you would have had to believe that with coach Solari being added, continuity, a young guy like LT Erek Flowers would improve. He just hasn't.
But I do believe Pugh, Richburg and Jerry will be improved inside and TE Tye will be the starter now for sure along with FB Johnson playing a lot and blocking.
I just hope with two more games we get "in sync" and Flowers improves his technique. They say a players biggest improvement is from year #1 to #2. You can see that guys like DE OWA, SS Collins, RG Hart, have improved over last year. Lets hope Flowers is solid vs Jets.
can run worth shit vs even most of reg first team DL. TE's can't run block worth a shit either.
When they don't look worse in their 2nd game, when they looked like crap in their first.
Uh-oh.
It's way too early to predict how it will play out, but there was always a risk in going with a rookie HC for Eli's last few years.
