I think the biggest blame should go to o line, I feel like half the league has abysmal lines
O line play is terrible these days. There just are not enough humans that have the size and athleticism to handle the freakish athletes that play d line in the nfl.
I’ve heard speculation that part of the reason O-Line play isn’t as good is because during the last Collective Bargaining Agreement there’s stipulations against live o-line vs d-line drills. This might even mean they can’t work on basic fundamentals like pad level, footwork, positioning even at 1/2 speed.
I'm like 95% sure Mitchell Schwartz has said on a podcast that that is contributing a reason O-line play hasn't kept up with defense. So an All-Pro tackle agrees with you
