I agree entirely. The offensive line has room to improve with run blocking, but I have confidence they'll find a groove with the rotation. They did a great job with pass protection, so hard to poke too many holes with their performance (except Campbell's penalties).

My only concern is the short yardage playcalling. I get it, Daniels thrives in the shotgun, but we have to get more creative here, especially near the goal line. Nothing wrong with getting under center and the classic QB sneak, it can't be any less dangerous than when Daniels doesn't slide. Hell, maybe we try some wildcat with Kaleb Jackson?

The only way to improve run blocking is to run it more consistently. There needs to be a drive in a game where the emphasis is to establish the run and impose our will on the D. Once we get Taylor back I'd like to see some 2 TE sets where one is in line and the other at H-back and we try to run outside the tackles.

Get the OL engaged early by letting them tee off. Arkansas would be a good game for this. We should be able to run on their front 7.
