OL is important. I don't know anyone who would deny that.
Is it your position that we had an OL in 2020 that could not block the pass rush?
Yes, it's my position they could not block "well enough" to keep McVay/Goff from checking to quicker hitting targets than he did in 17 and 18 when the line was more consistent. The problem wasn't only playcalling and QB. The inability to consistently keep the defense out of the backfield was a major problem in a handful of games and a limitation in most.
I have consistently said that the problem with last year's 22nd ranked offense was three things: QB, playcalling, and the OL. So we're in agreement there.
Personally, I have the OL as the least of those three problems. They did have major problems in a handful of games but other than that I felt they played pretty well.
