It's a losing propostion for the offensive tackles. They aren't near as bad as posters are making them out to be. Sure you can always execute better and sometimes it will work, but this is 90% a scheme problem.
If you give us a power running qb and a Mullen offense, this OL magically looks way better. These guys are built to run block. I think the OL could have been good this year in a spread power run option offense. We will never know for sure, but it sure seemed like it based off last season.
