I hate to say it, but OT is the problem. LT is the lynchpin of this line and they haven’t been good since Castonzo left. We could have drafted Darrisaw last year but they wanted Paye. Paye showed up ast game so the jury is still out. But Darrisaw was getting comps to Trent Williams in camp. He could end up being very good. These journeymen at LT is not going to get it done. It collapses the whole line. Pinter should be a backup center. Unless Raimann can get up to speed, it’s going to be a long season. Everything starts with the line. Protecting Ryan and opening holes. Having sustained drives and keeping the defense fresh, and the line starts with left tackle.
But in week 1 we put up 517, 5th highest total in the Indy era with a 300 yd passing game and a 150 yd rusher.

I completely agree with the statement on talent. The talent is there. The heart is not, and that sucks!
