[QUOTE="TromboneJacket, post: 827812, member: 2580"] I agree that the OL has been disappointing so far, but a big factor I think you’re overlooking is continuity. Most of our guys haven’t played with each other more than a year. Additionally, you have to remember that PFF is a rating of a player’s performance in a game, his level of success. Not his technique, not his discipline (although those both factor in), but his performance. It doesn’t normalize for talent; talent is part of the score. For example, a cornerback who gets beaten because he’s smaller and slower than his receiver still gets dinged for that, even if he did everything he could given the circumstances. So it very well could be that Brent Key is teaching good technique but that the talent is limiting the performance and that some of the more talented players are either young and still learning or new to the program and still getting settled in. The only one that’s a significant disappointment to me is Ryan Johnson. He should have the talent, experience, and continuity to be getting better performance (plus Right Guard is the easiest position on the line to play), but we seem to be getting better each game, so I want to see how the unit comes together throughout the season before writing off Coach Key.
