Why does everyone assume the OL personnel is the problem, when the reality is 4/5 (and sometimes 5/5) of the same OL in 2017 paved the way for a 2,000+ yard rusher?  They didn't all of a sudden forget how to play or become weak.  And I've never in my life heard of a team not being able to run the ball because it lost a certain Fullback. IOW, it's not like they have any history of being irreplaceable.

The only thing that is really left is offensive scheme, game planning, and inability of coaches to get their players to execute. Maybe it's the latter.

Well players can regress for all kinds of reasons. I brought up the Patriots earlier, but they looked like a completely different team in week 3 vs week 4. It's a complicated game with a lot of moving parts. I think what most people here are saying is that our main problem is the OL's performance, but it's not clear why they're underperforming. It's also possible that we're overreacting to playing against a really good defensive front and having the game script get away from us.

Somewhere this morning I ran across a comment by an NFL evaluator who called our OL guys, weak and lacking strength.  This seems to fly in the face of Turly's program, but at the same time it would explain what we see out on the field.  I have no idea if the guy knows what he is talking about or just stirring the pot.
