If the talent wasn't there, I wouldn't be so disappointed.
There is talent at the skill positions, but our OL and DL are constantly overpowered and dominated by big physical lines. When you add to that the fact that we went short handed at LB, thinking we could stop power teams willing to run the ball with LVE and a bunch of DBs, was foolish roster building.
I think Quinn ran enough games to turn our lightweights into a fun to watch team and a pretty good nickel defense, but we don’t have run thumpers on the DL or at LB, and there are always a few games like this every year where you need just that.
On offense, we desperately need upgrades at C and LG. Williams was better than McGovern, but I’ll bet we have the lightest middle three in the NFL and maybe the only starting LG under 300 LBs. It’s not just about running the ball. Those guys up the middle need power and size and the ability to drop anchor.
