I agree with everyone here that we need to improve our IOL. We can argue about what Poles should have done in the draft or FA, but we are here and, in my opinion, there are no easy fixes this season. If the Bears coordinators are any good and our offensive weapons are as good as we think, then why are we not designing and running plays that take less time to develop (quick slants / quick hooks), more runs, and play action? If you run plays that need 3 to 4 seconds with a weak IOL, the DT's are just going to tee off and bury you alive. Our line may not be great but it's at least average (and I think we can say that). We should be able to design and run plays that allow us to drive down the field somewhat consistently as long as we are targeting all our weapons somewhat evenly.
As we stated for years under the JF regime, our offense should be built around what we have and play to its strengths. Caleb sitting back untouched waiting for Moore, Allen and Rome to get free deep then having enough time to deliver a perfect pass everytime is a pipe dream.
