no, it obviously wasn't the same OL, as Cordaro Howard started this past week.
You may not have been trying to make excuses for Edwards, but I think that plenty others were. In fact, a couple of Edwards' ardent defenders appear to have mysteriously disappeared from TBD since, oh, last Sunday at about 4:00 pm.
IMO, an intelligent, decisive and confident QB can, at times, mask below-average OL play.
