This is a fine assessment. The big issue imo, is that the OL has not come together. I believe that each position has been suspect on that line. I know that Cordy Glenn and Eric Wood are not lousy players, but they are playing like they are. The others are looking downright bad at times. I suspect the blocking schemes are at fault and that is the direct responsibility of the OL coach, and in-turn Hackett's responsibility. Why this is is beyond me. I do think that blame needs to be placed at Marrone's feet and he alone must remedy that situation.
If it were not for the OL play, we would not be having this debate. The rest of this team is doing fine.
