Don't get me wrong, the run blocking was atrocious as they didn't get any push at the line. (8 and 9 man fronts clog holes, but don't stop the offensive lines push) If the line men can't get any push off the line of scrimmage, your running game is shot. It doesn't matter how many men are in the box.
