re: I agree that Oline is why we lost, but it wasnt the execution as much as coaches

Sorry I can only give you one upvote!

I don't think it matters what you do when our QB is in the shotgun and still doesn't have time to set his feet throw. Granted, he did have time every now and then and missed a few throws but that is 100% due to the success of that D line. They rattled him, like they would almost any QB in that situation. Give credit where credit is due.

Agreed 100%. And they didn't blitz that much. Stunted all night though. They've been doing that all season (and last) where the DEs make moves to inside and S or LB has outside containment.

It was those inside moves that destroyed us. Once they break free they close quickly. Always know where the ball is, take good angles, and know where the other defenders are (to take the optimum pass rush lane and not leave an escape).

We did not have an answer. Every OL didn't get beat every play (obviously). But they didn't focus on one position/gap. Left side, outside, 2 gap... every play there was at least one 'breakdown' it seemed, but never in the same spot. That's by design. Have to be solid across the front 100% to combat that. We're just not that solid up front.
