Our OL will play much better on passing downs this Sunday. They may even be dominant.
And it won't surprise me if they manage to run block well in spots. But for the most part I don't expect them to provide consistent running lanes for our RBs. But then, I don't expect us to run a lot anyway in this game. At least until the fourth quarter.
All of that plays to our OL's strengths as well. TEN doesn't have a good pass rush, whether it's with their down linemen or even if they bring extra rushers. They don't generate very much pressure, and they aren't going to have extra defenders to send anyway if they double Kelce and Hill. If I were Andy I'd run 5 receivers on every down. Force TEN to try and create a pass rush with their down DL. Then every down it would be our five OL against their four DL. And I think I saw that we had exceptional success in our first meeting from the 12 set? Start from the high ground . . . see if they learned to defend that.
