C34 I think you're being a bit intellectually dishonest regarding the OL: You imply the whole pass blocking issue is Leach's wide splits, and that the DE's "don't respect the run". Well, why don't they respect the run? Because the OL can't run block either.
The odds of the OL being unable to win 1 on 1's in the run game and ALSO being just fine at pass pro were it not for Leach's splits seems low. They simply look poorly coached to me. They miss assignments and aren't physical when they do lock up with someone. Ad if we could run it for 5-6 yards a pop like we should vs a 5 man box the DE's wouldn't pin their ears back.
The splits might not help either but at the end of the day the OL is sucking at everything. Cross is good but the other 4 are liable to get beat, be it by a DE, NT, DT, or LB, and often the defender seems lined up right in front of them so weird angles from wide splits doesn't apply.
As for the "The O works with Rogers vs it was just garbage time and the O didn't work anyway" argument, lets just agree that the best 2 drives of the last 2 games were with Will in. KJ had his chances to score in garbage time and he couldn't' do it. SO how much better is the O with Will? I don't know, but it IS BETTER
