Some defensive fronts are going to be good enough to crowd the line, sell out on the run, and force Dak to beat them. The Skins are one of those teams. This was one of those games where Dak had to throw this team into a running game and he couldn’t. The OL gets blame and I’m just baffled by that. If Frederick was out there I might understand the criticism of the OL. But given that there is a reserve and rookie playing, unfortunately I don’t think we can expect consistent dominance. What we’re getting is top half of the league OL play and while it would be great if it was top 3, I don’t think when you have bottom of the barrel QB, WRs, and TEs that we should spend any time at all complaining about the RB and OL.
So in a nutshell, yeah this one is on Dak. All he had to do was lead his team to 14 offensive points and not give up a defensive score. And he couldn’t.
