Im not sure what your point is. Im certanily not defending Lombardi, ive been adamant that he sucks balls. I do know this, zone blocking, schematically puts the blockers in a good position to make their jobs easier physically compared to big on big. What tends to be more difficult is the mental part, it requires communication. I think the line shuffling could certainly cause major breakdowns. Laken has looked lost most of the time. Warford has been out, Lucas sucks pretty bad, Waddle looks rusty. Swanson is only a 2nd year guy and playing center instead of guard. That being said, if they get some time together healthy they should improve. That being said, I refer back to my original point that it is downhill system that doesnt at all fit Ameer. You need a guy that can one cut and power through. That being said, Lombardi's play calling still sucks and Mayhew sucks for picking a back that doesnt fit his OC's blocking scheme. Side point, I was watching NFL something on ESPN and they were talking about AA's fumbling and being known for fumbling. I thought that was funny, tiny hands is doing exactly what he was known for and now they(coaching staff, mayhew) are surprised? SMH.What holes have there been to run through? There was nothing until Big Larry got back last week and there were still not a lot, but it was better.
I am not buying that its the players not executing. Lombardi made some changes last week in the passing game and it instantly improved them.
