This is the biggest problem as I see it. The O-line fails us almost every year it seems.

What percentage of the running plays are using zone blocking? Conventional wisdom is you need fast, lighter, nimble linemen for zone blocking. However none of the Skin's O-line is on the right side of 300 lbs. Plus Betts really is not the right kind of back for stretch plays. He can't cut (or see the cut back lane?) fast enough to exploit the big holes. That leaves Portis to shoulder the load and he seems to be aged or injured.
