In pass pro he's got bad footwork. So what happens is he never really gets his body on the speed rushers, and he's playing off balance so the stronger ends just drive him back into the quarterback.

We've tried to give him help, but then he just gets confused and blocks no one.

The backs sucked in blocking against the Pats, but that's because we don't effectively use our TEs to change the alignment of the defense on passing downs. We spread em out and then we don't block, a la Spurrier.
