The rationale for the decline in the OL hasn't only been injury, it's been lack of experience and then injury.
What I'm seeing is that Goff needs a top 5 OL. Without that, we shouldn't expect him to do well. So they need some experience and a bit of luck to avoid injuries.
Well not just lack of experience, and then injury PLUS
even more lack of experience.
It's also that from the start, both tackles had regressed.
The good news is that they have a lot of young talent getting experience. That depends on Noteboom's recovery, but there's Edwards and Evans too. Maybe Corbett too.
Agree with most of that.
I'm not so certain thought that we can say the tackles had regressed to the point where we pin the OL struggles on that. As one very wise poster told me a few weeks ago, when the entire OL struggles, individual grades don't mean much. And in fact, it's a fallacy to act like we have a bead on individual players.
I'm kind of just giving you a hard time but how do you assess the tackles individually when the whole OL was not functioning as a cohesive unit?
