No one said be perfect. But the line is consistently letting free guys through to hit Frank and Alex. That shouldnt happen but once, twice per game but it happens once or twice a drive. At minimum. With basic line stunts.
And ill be the first to tell you Alex is part of the problem. But he isnt THE problem.
This is where I disagree... I'm a firm believer in cause and effect... Most of the line problems and poor run issues stem from having a QB that doesn't take advantage of the D stacking the box. We need a QB who can deliver a quick accurate ball to the open guy from the blitzing side consistently. Instead we have the ever so obedient Alex that would rather hold onto the ball too long then throw it away or check down to a covered back for a loss.
Why wouldn't the opposing D want to take advantage of this and continue to stack the box or blitz the run? Frank's their major threat, not Alex...
