We struggled with the blocking on short yardage running plays. And that's unlikely to change. We just don't have maulers in Creed or Thuney on the interior. And frankly the OTs aren't great at preventing guys from knifing inside on them either.
Short yardage running is an OL issue on this team.

I'd also argue it can be a play-calling issue at times as well. It doesn't matter how good your interior offensive linemen are when you're running the annexation of Puerto Rico on 3rd and inches.
