Yep, a lot of the OL is communication and making adjustments on the fly. Sitting on our couches at home, we have no idea what assignments each O-linemen has on a particular play. Its easy to pick 2 or 3 breakdowns and say that guy stinks when it may not even been his job for that play.
Now getting bullrushed and physically beaten is easy to see and the guy that happens to the most is Sendlein.
Well, to comment on THIS week, he was beaten directly, 1-on-1 on a play where he accurately portrayed a turnstile. It wasn't a communication problem--he clearly had his assignment, and damn near got Palmer killed. Everyone knows it was his job for that play. Tack on the penalty, and those are two huge, glaring mistakes.
Like I said, I'm only commenting on this week, because I haven't tracked Massie throughout the season. But yeah, this week, those mistakes do not come close to warranting a weak sauce excuse.
