They still need to hold their blocks just a little longer so instead of getting hit, he's only getting pushed by the defender that's barreling down on him. I understand they can't do anything about the unblocked blitzers, but when it's only a 4 or 5 man rush, Blaine shoudn't be getting touched when it's one of those quick throws. Also, Eugene needs to return quickly. I'm not too concerned about Bradfield, but Whimper is still the same guy he was last year. I didn't mind him getting resigned as depth, but I still didn't want to see him hit the field in a starting compacity ever again. If Eugene doesn't come back soon, then Rackley does, so Britton can go back to RT and Bradfield can stay at LT until Eugene gets back. I'm interested to see what happens with Rackley when he returns, as the team seems intent on getting Bradfield in the starting lineup. Lastly, I don't know how they do it, but our o-line's ability to run block regardless of who's in there and who's running the ball is impressive, to say the least.
