There's a few players on the offense who are doing thier parts, namely:

Samuels
Kendall
Rabach
Cooley
Randle El
Campbell
Sellers

So, according to me, the blame for the offense being at its worst since 2004 falls on the four positions that aren't getting it done; RG, RT, WR, and RB.

Obviously the biggest culprits are RG and RT. But can we do anything to improve this? Well, yes, we can get Todd Wade out of there and put Stephon Heyer in. But that's about it as far as fixing the line. We are going to have to compensate in other areas.

Should we replace Santana in the starting lineup? Well, we could, but I don't think that does a lot of good. We lose a hefty deal of important big play potential with him out of the lineup, and that's a good way to circumvent the lack of consistent offense.

So that leaves one position where a change could do some good. I don't think Betts could be doing worse than Portis is right now. It's not all Portis, but he certainly isn't helping.
