Are they struggling? Yeah. They obviously got eaten alive against a very good Bucs front having to be one dimensional. But is this the worst or even one of the 5-6 worst OL in football? I don't see it. They played good front sevens in CAR, NO and CLEV too and while they had issues they were not manhandled. Through 3 games TG and MB were averaging 4.7 YPC and for the season they've allowed sacks on 4.4% of pass attempts- 9th best in the NFL- Russell Wilson is taking sacks at twice that rate and he's mobile...
Havenstein is the biggest one to get cleaned up this week in my opinion. As someone else posted last week he's a good RT, especially in the running game, who will struggle against elite edge rushers. And he's faced some really good ones in Jordan, Garrett and Barrett the past three weeks- all leading to strip sacks... When Clowney plays on his side if they need to slide Higbee over to help so be it.
Are Poona Ford, Quinton Jefferson and Al Woods going to wreck the interior like Suh and Vea? I don't see it.
