when Louie lined up for the first play from scrimmage: Their O-line outweiighed our D-line by 49-50 lbs on average.
Given that our D-line was all new starters with not many of them having played a lot, and that our biggest single need is for a couple of playmakers on the Dline, well, you saw what happened.
We are getting there. I suspect that there are D-line playmakers on the team. But they won't emerge until later this season.
Add the loss of Keith Moore on their first possession and we had a recipe for no pass pressure and open receivers for them.
The offense will get better, too. Also some inexperience on the O-line. Our qbs need to step into their throws, need to be able to do so.
