Respectfully disagree. Looney isn't perfect but IMO he isn't a "poor" player. CW is decent at best & ZM missed 6 games so he wasn't really sandwiched between two solid players.

I recall that many of the breakdowns were that CW in particular didn't get the helping block he was supposed to so that Looney could get in position.

Not saying you can't find plays where he got beat but some that looked like he got beat was because other players didn't get their assignment done.

Looney & CW both struggle with pure power. Teams that could take advantage of that did so. Certainly not ideal for two of your interior guys.

With the revolving door at the tackle positions CW many of the times was looking to help the tackle if his guy rushed inside the tackle. Many of the games I saw CW was either told to help the tackle on inside rushes and the tackles were told to make sure their guys did not beat them outside. If that is the case of course CW is going to miss a combo here and there if has to worry about the inexperienced tackle to his left.
