The biggest problem appears to be at right tackle, rather than left guard. We might not be too far away from seeing Tom Ashworth take over for Sean Locklear at right tackle. Locklear still needs a few more bad games before anything would happen, but he did not play well during the preseason and his struggles have continued through the first two weeks. Ray Willis also struggled during the preseason.
Shaun Alexander is not helping out the situation either. The line has missed some blocks and the opposition is keying on the run, but Alexander just doesn't look like the running back he was last year. Maurice Morris is making it hard for Alexander to blame the offensive line. Alexander has 140 yards on 40 carries (3.1 average), while Morris has 48 yards on only 7 carries (6.9 average). Morris also has 2 catches for 33 yards, while Alexander has 3 catches for 10 yards with a couple of drops.
