I believe a lot had to do with the fact that the other team had the #1 rush defense last year and they were run and gap blitzing nearly every play. Add to that the fact that we didn't see much help from lead blockers - because the coaches were evaluating individual blockers and RBs , I would have been shocked if we had seen large gains in the running game. Also I counted at least 4 big play deep balls where the qb had time to deliver and either the qb or receiver just missed it.
As Rabach and Rex both said this team is focusing on and studying Dallas. So to answer your question, I think run blocking could have been better and would have if the game had counted but based on the level and quality of the last two opponents I am confident our OL won't be the same swinging gate it was last year.
