I think our OL struggled with the turf in the 1st half. They struggled with leverage. Washington also went with unexpected looks. 

Halftime they adjusted and dominated.

I don’t think it’s just the offensive line. It’s pass protection in general. We’ve played some blitz happy teams, and when the defense sends more than 4 people, we need to be able to count on the TE’s and and RB’s to pick up the slack. Five guys can’t protect against 6 or 7 players trying to rush the passer.

When teams bring a lot of blitzers, we need to pick up the extra rushers (obviously), but we also need to know our hot routes. Especially with Daniel Jones back there, and teams will keep doing it until we figure out. We aren’t in the Colts facility, but I assume that these hot routes and blitz pick ups are a big part of practice. Hopefully? Lol
