You know, I actually started to wonder if something like that happened. It got so bad that it looked like “Look Out” blocks when the O-line doesn’t like the QB and just lets the pass rushers thru. That one play where Dawkins hit the pass rusher once and then just stood there as the defender went back towards the LOS to sack Josh was egregious.
Regarding overall line play, after the Atlanta game where their defenders were blazing and running stunts, didn’t Kromer address this in follow up practices.
To me, the ship is sinking fast. There seem to be a lot of things wrong at OBD and the passive owner doesn’t help.
Chuck Knox won games and division titles for the Rams though no Super Bowls, but he didn’t get 9 years to figure it out.
Marty Schottenheimer won division titles with 3 teams, Cleveland, KC and SD without winning a Super Bowl and he was fired from each team without getting 9 years to figure it out.
Most of the long-tenured coaches currently and in NFL History won at least one Super Bowl. Why has McD earned such a long leash?
Answer me that, Terry Pegula!
