Communication among the O-line is critical and seemingly was lacking early in the season (I blame coaching).  It seems that the issue is being addressed

Q. Yesterday (offensive lineman) Justin (Pugh) was talking about how the offensive line has been 'overcommunicating' to make sure that given the different guys that were coming in and out of the line up and everybody is on the same page. Can you talk a little bit about that process and have you found that to be helpful for your play?

A: Absolutely. I think one of the biggest pieces in offensive line play is making sure that we're all on the same page and going to the right guys and accounting for our responsibilities. When we don't have a whole lot of time to gel together, like a full training camp or OTA's or things like that, we have to overcommunicate and make sure that we all know who we're responsible for and be able to be working together as a unit.

Q. Can you give a quick example of the overcommunication process? Is it like you're sitting at lunch, and somebody calls out a play or is it something more involved to it?

A: It might be something more involved. It's more so – we call it sometimes a call and a response and just making sure that everybody knows what their responsibilities are. Communicating at the line of scrimmage, coming off on the sideline and communicating there what we're seeing and any possible adjustments or anything like that and talking through it and making sure that everyone knows what the plan is and how we need to execute.
