The ENTIRE offensive line

It was not Taysom Hill’s entire fault for some of his turnovers over the last couple of games. However, in this game, the offensive line couldn’t protect anything. They allowed Hill to take five sacks for a total of 29 yards.

They weren’t allowing room to run; they weren’t opening up any holes. It was a very lazy performance from my perspective. Terron Armstead and Andrus Peat were getting beat the entire game by Josh Sweat and Javon Hargraves.

They allowed Kamara and Murray to run for a total of 83 yards in the whole game. Typically, they open up the run enough for both of them to be almost over 83 yards each. The line was just not on their game against the Eagles on Sunday night.

Outside of just sacks and the lack of running production, the offensive line let Taysom Hill get him 12 times. They also allowed the Eagles to get tackles five times behind the line of scrimmage. Hopefully, next week they can pick their game back up.
