Offensive Line gets dominated when it comes to run blocking against good DLines

First the Saints and now the Vikings. Any good defensive line the offensive line has gone up against and they can't run block to save their lives. If we are going to hold up the other players to play to a certain level against good teams in big games. Then the Offensive Line needs to be held to that same standard.

Even though Zeke shouldn't completely rely on the OL to run block to be good, the Offensive Line can't have these poor run blocking showings against good defenses and expect to make a deep play off run or hope that Dak lights it up on his own all throughout the rest of the season without decent run blocking against the good teams left on the schedule.

These losses in key games are a big failure and the OL's run blocking is one of the biggest reasons for these losses, for as much money as they get paid. They aren't doing their job when it matters the most.
 
This line has sucked for a while. I watch other games, and RB's are running through gaping holes. I cannot totally blame the line, because Ezekiel Elliott, ran like a punch drunk imbecile on yesterday. Pollard gets one play, and three Vikings meet him at hand off. Maybe if they had run some rpo earlier, it might of worked.

…even the Great Pollard couldn't gain yardage.
