We're kinda skipping past that there are OLs that are good at one type of protection and not the other. I believe that our OL is crap at both, but some OLs can run block ok but not pass block. I think that a couple of teams that you mentioned are that way.
No, we're skipping passed the fact that someone said we have two above average tackles, an above average tight end and above average running backs. Shit, a week or two ago, PFF said Trent Brown is fucking better than Trent Williams.
So if the above is true, my question was simple, why can't we run the fucking ball?
That was met with, because our QB's sucks.
I then posted 8 teams in the top 17 running the ball, whose quarterbacks also suck (some are on their third or fourth ones this year).
The response "their QB's are better and they can run" or something.
So I then put in 4 teams who are WORSE at running the ball, with much better quarterbacks than what we have.
If we have to dive down a rabbit hole of excuses this far, maybe, just maybe, we don't have above average tackles, running backs or tight ends. It's just a thought.
