I know this knock on evaluation of O talent has taken a life of its own on this message board. But save for Urbik, is there one positive proof that this is true ? We had a lot of new personnel on the OL. Tinkering in the pre-season and early games is to be expected. That Richardson would be bad at the LG spot was not a known fact but I am wiling to grant that marrone should have evaluated that better. But who else ? Williams and Goodwin ? Our OL had not afforded a lot of pass protection so it did not give Goodwin time to gain separation and go downfield before the QB had to make a play. And that is in games he has been healthy. Williams just is invisible on the field.
If there is one thing that Orton does well, it is spreading the ball around. He routinely hits 6-8 receivers in the first half. So, there is little chance that Williams and Goodwin are roaming around freely.
So, I am still waiting for compelling evidence of this so called Offensive ineptness on Marrone's part.
