A lot of people predetermined that this would be a problem for Pacheco, so they're looking for it and blowing every instance out of proportion. And we already know that CEH gets no leeway.

Just gets old seeing people praise backs for running straight ahead through gaping holes, and then crushing our backs for getting swarmed behind the line of scrimmage.

Over the first two games, the backs averaged 5 yards/carry. The lanes clearly weren't there in Indy. Blocking was shit. Just because, in theory, this OL should be opening gaping holes doesn't mean it's happening.

There were actually some huge holes that the line opened and our RB's just missed them. I posted a screenshot yesterday of one run where the hole was almost 8 yards wide and CEH overshot it by 4 yards.
