I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think we've been able to start the same OL in consecutive games this year.

Given that we are also implementing a new scheme, that has been a massive problem with the offense.

But let's not forget playcalling. At one point this year, we were calling 5 passes for every run (most of Garbers runs are called passes after all). And when you factor in that a good running game (or even the threat of one) makes the passing game better AND that an OL can develop better by running the ball - it both enhances aggression/blocking,which carries over to better pass blocking usually, as well as opening up the Play Action game - see the PA bomb to Sturdivant v. Minnesota the playcalling is partially at fault for the OL issues too.
