Coach Rhule, despite your protests…

Can someone with OL knowledge weigh in on what they do well, and why they look bad. I don't know OL, but it doesn't look good

They don’t do much well… maybe look big?

They look bad because of lack of footwork and tenacity and coaching.
 
They opened some huge holes on this last drive. Haarberg turned the wrong way on a play that looked like it could go for 6 and he dropped a snap on another play. We’re one dimensional. Can’t throw it.

Notice that the drive was almost entirely because of the right side of the line? That is the only way we seem to be able to move the ball with the run.

One word...leverage. Somebody on our o-line loses leverage on at least 30%+ of plays. Standing straight up, not staying low, and not maintaing a wide base has plagued us for the last 20 years. Missing assignments is a close second.
 
Maybe it’s not the coach? Maybe it’s the players.
It’s been the players for four plus years and the O-line coach going on two years

The O line has been fat, slow, no athleticism, very low Football IQ, and have never improved (probably regressed over the years). What are they doing here?
