I think Jones will be ok but I'm not sold on any 2nd string rb's,but with that blocking it was hard to tell.

I couldn't agree more.

They were all passive in the run game.

I went back and watched it again. Moses swallowed people up with his long arms in pass rush but he was terrible run blocking as well.

It always seems like the Dline are the aggressors on the running plays and our guys are sitting there waiting to engage. Go back and just watch the running plays, they aren't moving anyone.

I get zone plays are not always moving forward but we are always getting pushed back.

First, do you all agree that we look passive? Second, are they being coached this way? If so, why?

With our big guys firing into somebody, Jones should be able to fall forward for 4 yards. They aren't moving anyone.
