Our run blocking hasn't been that bad. It's nowhere near the 2003 Chiefs, but it's looked pretty good this preseason. Our pass protection has struggled, but again, a lot of that is on the QB. I can guarantee that Drew Brees or Tom Brady would have this same offensive line look like a totally different pass protecting unit.
