Ah yes...great point, Shane Falco. This one time, Finney forgot the snap count. A mental mistake from a career backup.
How many times would you say Pouncey (a supposed all-pro with an 8-figure salary) has been unable to properly execute a routine shotgun snap this season? 10? 20?

You really are taking a simple joke out of context

I suspect that Munchak not only constantly taught technique and communication, he also watched game film and learned what teams defensive lines and blitzes were doing and I would be willing to bet he schooled the players up on what to expect each week from different groups. I would be willing to bet the greatest contribution Munchak offered was giving the team a solid idea of how they should individually and ultimately collectively attack as a line each week. Now they players are more likely just relying on their individual talent to win matchups rather than working as uniformly as a group as they were in the past.

Coach, you just can't help yourself, can you?
Why does anybody care that "you said the OL would suffer" from Munchak's leaving?
Why would you bring that up other than to invite an avalanche of negative comments about your apparently infinite ability to self-promote.
I'm going to start calling you Nostradamus. you speak in vague generalities that more often than not don't make any sense and then later you try to suggest that the general, nonsensical crap you said earlier was a prophetic message from a gifted mind.
Dude. EVERYONE knew that the line would suffer when (what most of us believed was the best coach on the team) Munchak left. You weren't telling us anything we didn't already know. Here's more news for you. I said when Roethlisberger went out for the season that he wasn't going to win the passing title this year. Nobody believed me! But here we are. I can absolutely ******* guarantee that Ben won't win the passing title. I'll put money on it. You wanna bet? No, of course not. Because deep down YOU KNOW I'M RIGHT!

Oh. My apologies to Shane, then. If that's a running joke, no offense, but you guys really need to work on your material.
Nevertheless, Pouncey's snapping inconsistencies are no laughing matter.
Except for the OL, the entire offense has been second and third string players and guys fresh off the practice squad. And Foster missed two games and now Pouncey will be out two or three. We were going to be lucky to make the playoffs anyway although I didn't expect the defense to improve this much. Before Ben got hurt I predicted our usual 10-6 and wildcard loss anyway.
The OL is suffering from Ben being out. Those are all veteran guys, they didn't forget how to block when Munch went out the door. Ben calling audibles and blocking assignments/changes, I'm assuming Mason isn't quite that far along just yet, isn't helping them. That's more of an issue than not having Munch.

The run blocking has been well below the line so to speak.
IMO, the run blocking has never been that good, even before this year. The line is built to pass block, and the pass sets up the run IMO. They've rarely have been able to just line up and run the ball at will.
Well since the Bus retired anyway.
