OL is soft like cotton. No toughness in them. There's no one there that rile and motivate the guys to get focus and mean on the defender, and Tunsil is known for being a quiet guy who really doesn't hype up others and does just enough. Unfortunately they see him as the captain...and he has no dog in him. He doesn't finish plays; how will the rookies behave if the "great" LT veteran gives up on plays? He's not a leader. Not by examples of hard plays on the field like Andre Johnson, and not by audio motivation like JJ (though JJ was also by action).
It is what happens when there are higher expectations and one does what you do not want to do in that situation, be the first to pile up mistake after mistake. It puts a spotlight on every little thing done afterward because people are no longer giving them the benefit of the doubt. It is not because they don't understand the play, although I'm sure that is the case with some. Tunsil cleans up his play and the spotlight goes away. Trust comes back. Right now he is playing covered with a bright yellow highlighter on what may be the weak area of the team in part due to his play.
The players think more of him than most fans do. There's a reason for the way they think whether we like it or not.
I believe what's wrong with OL is they aren't playing smart. An example of this is Green/Scruggs and at different time Green/Tunsil being able to pickup simple DT/DE stunts. Hopefully this is because Tunsil and Howard didn't play in the preseason and this is Scruggs 1st time playing center in the NFL. The OL needs time to jell.
So Green is injury prone and sucks monkey balls and Casserio was an idiot to pass over Kyle Hamilton for him.
Thats wild. Having Joe Mixon running the ball will fix this immediately I would suspect, but if Joe misses any more time Ogunbawale needs to be RB1 in those games. Dropping 7 explains why CJ is having to double pump his first read so often. Im thrilled to have a patient QB otherwise INTS would be crazy right now.
Kenyon Green needs to be benched. I feel like last year line was much better at pass protection. Has to be personnel.
