Interior line is soft. Tackles are alright, but the our guards can't fire off the ball and get low. They're big though, so they don't get forced into the backfield very often. Like I don't think we've been tackled for a loss on a single running play up the middle once this year. Our O-line is built for a spread attack, something we couldn't run with AJ. If we start Harris, I suspect you'll see more spread principles come into play, forcing teams to only put 5-6 men in the box, allowing our line to focus on their matchups rather than worry about 8 guys blitzing because they don't respect our ability to pass the ball. This would also help our run game tremendously, since there wouldn't be 8 men in the box every time we hand the ball off. Of course, this is all predicated on Harris starting and being able to throw the ball consistently.

you are absolutely correct. it isn't just the predictability of the play calling. When you can't punch it in from 2 yards out on 4 attempts, the OL has a problem. although the coaches should recognize this and run another play. football isn't always about physically imposing your will on the other team
