Ideally your OL are equally adept at both run blocking and pass protection. But that usually isn't the case. I don't understand why the OL doesn't do some situational substitution. Either have a mauler who comes in for running situations or a guy who is more of a pass protection specialist on obvious passing downs. The defense brings in its NASCAR packages on 3rd and long....why doesn't the offense do a similar substitution to better handle the quicker defense.
I've heard people say that it would tip your hand as to what play you might be calling. Well if it's 3rd and 15 then 95% of the time you are throwing the ball....so why not put a more mobile OL in the game who is better at pass pro and who can get out on a screen or up field on a draw.
Random offseason thought...
