Maybe not, but I just can't ever shake the comment by Gruden that when he was playing QB a missed block by his RT caused him to break his ankle - or something to that effect. When he watches Polumbus on film, he is going to see a guy that gets beat on the edge every single drop back. That means there will be a lot of chip blocks on that side, and if you have to give help, then imo go with the guy with more upside, and maybe he gets it. That would be Moses.

Well it certainly hasn't help that he had three other bums to the left of him.

I am talking about outside rush, not the middle. Many times Polumbus just got plain beat off the edge. That has nothing to do (or very little) with the 3 other bums.

I guess I'm thinking that a good coach can account for one, maybe two, average to below average linemen...not four.
