3 Zorn is calling far too few draws when pass rush gets bad
4 We have ZERO run blocking TE's on the roster this year
5 We only have 1 Blocking Fullback on the roster this year
6 I didn't see additional pass protection adjustments based on pass rush
So...either they wanted to see the linemen one on one to evaluate them and have determined they no longer need additional blocking support OR Coach Zorn has yet to determine that this Oline excells at run blocking and needs additional support in pass blocking.
Buges needs to speak up here or Portis is going to be taking on a lot of blitzes solo and that can't be good for his long term health.
If Heyer doesn't get help this week....Tuck may just squash him.

It's hard to make any solid judgments in regard to play calling based on games where the main focus isn't on winning.
