all offseason we were worried about DL, specifically stopping the run, which is still a major problem, but the biggest problem hands down is OL and specifically OL coach Solari…this team can’t run block, can’t run the ball, that’s not winning football for us.

you can’t suck at both and expect to win a lot of games, just take a look at the next 4 games, it’s recipe for disaster.

The passing game isn't much of a threat either. Teams know that if they take away Dallas' run game and put the weight on Dak's shoulders they have a much better chance of winning

The OL hasn’t played well in the run game, but most knew it would take time to gel.

At least they have made the effort to address it moving ahead with this past draft.

The front office put their chips in two rookies at Left tackle and center to start day 1 and be competent.
That's a risky proposition.

As we've seen, Guyton is going to have some growing pains this year. A lot to ask from a Right Tackle in college to then switch sides and start year one. And he's not that Jake Long perfectly polished Tackle prospect either.

Fans have to resign themselves to the fact we are gonna build and replace lost players through the draft. We are gonna sign cheap vets in FA to fill the voids. That’s just the way it’s gonna be. Instead of getting excited about FA just pray they draft well because that’s all that matters

well and to be fair in addition to dak at times being inaccurate there is only 1 receiver getting any kind of separation and he is often doubled. Dak had a crap load of tight window attempts yesterday

I also believe 2022 draft is coming home to roost. that was a poor draft

Yeah, that's why the Ravens almost lost yesterday.

Everything. It’s why it all needed to be blown up but Senile Jethro Skeletor signed Dak and Ceedee and now were doomed.

The real problem with the team is we overvalue our players and have higher expectations then the talent we have. Look at this roster. This is not a roster that's been put together to make any kind of run. It's a "good enough" roster to make the playoffs and be bounced. We have 2 rookies on the oline. We have no real RBs. We are weak/average at every level up the middle of our defense.

Face it guys. We are quietly rebuilding and this year was being sabotaged/thrown away from the beginning. They just aren't gonna tell you that, lol.

It makes it easier when McCarthy has only one running play in his playbook. Dowdle, Zeke, or the midget running up the middle into the back of the OL for +2 or -2.
