Is Goss NAT?  Harder to keep him on if IMP.  If NAT, he might have a good career just starting here.  If IMP, he's a dime a dozen  :D
Never go full Johnston!

But if the play depends on most / every OL making their 2nd & 3rd level blocks (after the 1st is taken care of!), as most of our run plays do, then having an OL downfield blocking air is ruining the entire play.

And we've been having problems with that this season.  And not just Wallace.  Broxton is having a rough time getting the hang of his new role.  Elsbury is having growing pains, too.  I've started grading out Brady run blocks the last 3 games and it's enlightening to see who's doing what and who's screwing up.

We aren't that good yet, and Brady has to struggle for every inch.  The rare times we get 10 are when everything managed to work out just right and/or Brady did a good first-contact shed.
