You can call the best conceived play possible for any situation, and it won't do a damn bit of good, if your interior OLs are blown the hell up at the LOS, barely giving the QB time to go through his progressions. It also doesn't help if the OLs are getting their ass kicked so badly, that after a hand off to the RB, he's stuck in the backfield because the OLS have already giving up ground to the guys they're supposed to be blocking. Can't move defenders out of the f#@&ing hole, no passing lanes for the QB. Gotta point a finger at the OL coach for that. Especially if it's an ongoing issue.
Of course, that's not to let BA off the hook. No need to go into depth about him here
that would be all well and good IF we where seeing good play calling to start with .... but we have not for the most part
perhaps some of it can be considered the chicken or the egg argument I guess
In this case, BA doesn't help one damn bit. He knows this O-line is not cut out to do the things he wants to do, and yet, he forces the issue anyhow.
