“I saw a lot of good things and some other things that have to be improved,” Rhule said of the o-line. “Some of the sacks are on them, but some of the sacks are on other people… Are we giving up too many sacks? Yes. That’s what I love about Dylan Raiola. On one of them, he said, ‘That’s on me, I was holding the ball.'”
“There were just some times there, as we all saw, that things kind of got a little out of whack and out of kilter,” Rhule added. “We have to be better, but I don’t think it’s like, ‘Oh my gosh, we can’t block anybody.’ … It’s what we’ve been talking about all year, just trying to improve what we’re doing. Some of them, the quarterback is just trying to hold on and make a play.
“If you want to live with the great plays, you have to live with some of those plays too. We’ll keep getting better, but the narrative that, ‘Hey, we can’t block anybody,’ I mean, we have to block better, but we just have to be more consistent.”
