As was said in the Bible , "Even this too shall pass"!
IMO, this is the year that JF demonstrates that he can listen, think and adjust proactively, or, and my guess is, will demonstrate what he has been demonstrating for 9 years. I really hope for the former but short time will tell.
The same thing you need to run is what you need to pass. An offensive line (Blocking) and not being one dimesional. We were one dimensional last year. Imagine how good we would have been had they thought we might run for a few yards.
So I read today that James h as had to adapt practice because he only has 6 offensive lineman. Now that has to be an exaggeration but it doesn't make me feel good. I assume only guards, tackles and the center are 'linemen' but still where is the competition? I guess we will see next week.
Good thing this year is we should be able to field 2 or 3 threatening QB's, not 1/2 or 1.

Run blocking and pass blocking are two very different skills. One is giving up ground and passivley blocking a guy, while the other is pushing a guy down field.
@roaminglion Hopefully next season there's a whole lot less, "Oh, that was my man??" in either scenario.
James Franklin, the OL coach, OC, QB and RB’s ain’t done a dang thing to help the OL either the last 2 years. Hopefully Yurcich will be turned loose to get the offense going and call whatever plays works. Move the chains I don’t care if we throw the ball 80% of the time just move the chains and score.
Find out what works and stick with it.
