You know what...I think the OL is good?

[CP87]

They have kind of been mauling guys since Wisconsin. Sometimes it is hard to notice because they are losing the numbers game (more defenders than blockers), but they have been moving guys off the LOS for much of the season. Their pass pro has been decent as well. There were 4 sacks today, but I think all were on Hill and his lack of pocket awareness.

Give me this OL next year, with these 3 RBs back, a competent QB, and Paul Chryst calling plays...that sounds pretty good about now.

Dunker has been in beast mode for about a month now. We can debate if he is a guard or a tackle, but his play has solidified the right side of the line.

Kudos to Ellsbury, he isn’t as skilled or athletic as Logan Jones, but he has done a really good job filling in.

I’m with the OP, get those receivers in that receiver room to come back and Chryst dialing up plays and this offense has the potential to be really good.

not yet good but getting better.

Elsbury at OC next year and Jones at OG? KF was very complimentary of how Elsbury has been playing.

Dunker and Colby have ganged up on defensive players effectively. They are physically scary.

The young TEs block their asses off, too. Imagine what we could do against consistent 7-man boxes?

They are improving rapidly. The whole unit.

Stay tuned. 3 games to go....this team is playing with house money now.
