Summer of ‘22: Offensive Line Is Key to Season

The lasting image for me when I think back on the 2021 season is the image of I believe Brandon Yates being thrown down on his butt against Minnesota early in the game. That one play and one image summed up the entire 2021 season (and just about the entire Neal Brown tenure thus far). Inadequate line play led to poor quarterback play which led to non-existent wide receiver play. The line was offensive.

A couple years ago, that was probably our weakness, our offensive line. I think we’ve grown every year. Going into this year, we have every single person back, so we’re just trying to build on top of that.
