On the bright side he's making next years roster decision easier.

Without a doubt. They look OK in pass pro, but they don't do a darn thing w/ run blocking, absolutely zero push.

Yeah, Norv is deleting a bunch of 1st and 2nd down run plays as we speak.

I agree, but I really noticed it on that screen pass. The 'old AD' would have gotten a first down (IMHO) at the very least when he outran everyone around the corner...

Rudolph drops another. A tough catch, but he has to make those.

So are we drafting 6 O-linemen this year?

Clarification: horse collar rule
No player shall grab the inside collar of the back or the side of the shoulder pads or jersey, or grab the jersey at the name plate or above, and pull the runner toward the ground. This does not apply to a runner who is in the tackle box or to a quarterback who is in the pocket

We keep two backs and a TE in the backfield to pass protect and they still get to Bradford? Awful.
