The running game is going to suffer when you have 3 new guys in the middle to start the season. Then you lose Williams who is your best run blocker. What do you expect?
Thats the coach/GM decision to make these types of decision along the OL. I will assume they drafted and groomed them with intent to be exemplary run blockers in the Shany offense since this is a run first philosophy.
Again we have Juice and Kittle in blocking with no real overall positive outcome. I keep hearing how integral they are to the run game thus sacrificing their skills as pass catchers.
If we cant pound the rock consistently then we will lose and if we are not going to run the ball then get Kittle and Juice involved as pass catchers. The problem with that is now you put the ball in Jimmys hands more often........
