Yeah the Oline is at a major disadvantage at this point of camp for a number of reasons. One major reason is that you don't run very many full contact smashmouth running plays at this early point in camp.
It's not like we are running a lots of series that include seven running plays and just three pass attempts. We are a better run blocking line and if you don't have the opportunity to inflict damage in the running game the dline hasn't had to pay any kind of price and therefore they can just pin their ears back and attack.
Things will balance whenever we start running it down their throats.
Hopefully.
