Our O-Line did have problems before Flozell went down. As many have said here, the run blocking was below average. Our line seemed to lack athleticism across the board which limited our running game. Im not sure what everyone means by the term athleticism, but my meaning is that athletic big guys can move quickly to the outside and make blocks in space. Our guys couldn't make good run blocks straight ahead. A serious lack of athleticism to me.
O-Lines benefit greatly by good teamwork and each guy knowing how the other is going to react against a particular 'look' on the defense. Our guys did OK before Flo went down but looked really bad afterward. I'm hoping Rivera and Petitti get better in the off-season but I can't see LA, Gurode, and Johnson (and let's not forget Tucker) making any improvement. That means significant change is needed.
That's how I see it. We need one or two adds in FA and one or two adds in the draft. If we can't get top level talent in the FA period, then the draft picks must be on the first day.
