If you can't gameplan around one friggen guy, it's on your coaching staff and yes, your quarterback.
It's one damn guy.
We have to stop hanging everything that ails this offense on the LT. I mean many say we got the best LT play we've had all season on Sunday against Cleveland and the offense STILL looked like boiled dogshit.
I just don't buy this "none of it matters if we don't find a miracle cure at LT" stuff.

And it's not as if we didn't see this SAME EXACT issue last year.
I got news everyone, it wasn't
just Donovan Smith that all the sudden elevated his game to serviceable levels in the playoffs leading them to win those games.
It was the entire unit rising to the challenge. 100% steady focus for the first time all year long. They felt that
need to win maybe for the first time in those games. More opponent-specific game planning. The whole operation, Donovan included, raised up to a higher standard.
That's all we need to happen. Whether it's Thuney or Humphries. And it's very achievable, especially if you're only asking them to hold up for two home playoff games in which they'll be far more fresh than their opponent, as well as a Super Bowl with two weeks to prepare.
