This is the worst run blocking team…

Anyone surprised we didn't score with Charb in there? I don't care how bad the O-line is.

This line is so bad run blocking.

On the one yard line, we need to pound the football in but losing yards.

No physicality. We scored, but it was a pass. We need to be able to pound the ball there.

Sad we cant run the ball on the one yard line.

I didn't think we could do worse than the 2016 team where our leading rusher was Christine Michael with 469 yards on a 4.0ypc clip, despite having a young QB with elite mobility to draw attention, but I just looked it up and we're averaging eight yards less per game than even that team.

Anyone wondering why we run from shotgun, just needs to watch our GL offense. If Walker can't get to the edge, it ain't happening because the defense blows up and gets penetration almost at the snap.
Add Walker needing to be at or near speed when getting the ball, and Charbs being too slow to avoid penetration? We have to run from shotgun, because defenses blow up our runs from under center.

What happen to the fly sweep motion we saw from Laviska in the preseason. Very little creativity. Finally had a couple ok runs to the outside then he goes to the well 1 to many times. We are bad at blocking but help the OL a little by out scheming.

We can’t run between he tackles consistently whatsoever. The same thing last year. We don’t have a good enough interior line to do so

Run on first down 1 yard
Throw on second down incomplete
Desperation on third down

This interior O line, (both guards) are bad, bad bad. I hope they address this in the off season so we can see what walker can really do. Sanchez was clowing the play calling, apparently this is his first time seeing our run blocking.

I am good with cross, Lucas and Olu. But yeah the guards, including Haynes, are straight up garbage.

Haynes is a rookie, so we’ll see, but Tomlinson and Bradford are so bad 🤦🏻‍♂️

Absolutely need better guard scouting.

I wouldn't say worse, Grubb doesn't seem to have a knack for calling run plays. Or have any creativity.
