You really thought the running game problems were with the OGs? I put most of that squarely on the C. Cook did an admirable job under tough circumstances holding up in pass pro in the middle, but he was a mess in the running game.
Bernadeau was a wreck early at RG. He did get a lot better after he was in the lineup a few weeks. I still think he's a relatively weak link, but he did have a significant surgery, and his TC was a mess as a result.
Livings, I thought played pretty well all year. Up until we got to the BEN game, where he was just ragdolled by one of the most underrated DTs in the league. Overall, though, he played fine under the circumstances.
RT was a mess for 10 games last season. LT could have been stronger given the resources we've invested there.
All that said, though, our offense really gelled at about mid-season and started playing well. People are forgetting how the season went because of the way the Saints and Commanders losses at the end of the year played out, but we eventually put it together enough on offense to be dangerous. It was just that, at that point, our defense had taken on way too much water with all the starters going down. We weren't quite able to overcome. But this team showed a lot of heart, and it played games differently from how we played them in the past.
The OL was an obvious area for personnel improvement, but it wasn't nearly the liability some posters here want to try and make it. And it was weakest at C and RT, not at guard.
