he's tripping Barksdale so he looks like a fool blocking the OLBer

That's what I was talking about. They both took the LB and neither got him.

I have to wonder...who is responsible for making sure the OL knows their assignments? Obviously, off the field, it's Boudreau. But coaching only goes so far. Is it Hill? Is it Wells? Or is it both?
Because if it is Wells or both, I'm pretty pissed off that Fisher continues to play him. Because that means he's not getting it done mentally or physically.
Obviously, Joseph and Barksdale have responsibility to each other to communicate but the Center is the guy who is supposed to be the QB of the OL. Why does our OL always seem confused?
Hell, I can't count how many times Greg Robinson has missed a blitzer to double team Saffold's guy. And I gotta think that's on one or both of the QB and Center too.

But most of all, what the fuck is Davin Joseph doing? He's been in the league for...what...a decade? How the hell does he think he's supposed to follow his man outside like that with JPP lopping inside. The guy has to know better. It's just nuts how bad he's been.

Well, the QB and center have to agree, they point out the MIKE. Then the other OL know where to start counting. If it's man blocking in pass pro, then the #1 guy to the right of the center is the RG's guy. The #2 guy from the center is the RT's guy. The #3 guy from the center is the TEs guy (if there is a TE) and #4 guy is unblocked so he's the QB's guy, he has the (a) get rid of ball or (b) make a move to cause the #4 guy to miss. The same is true of the left side. If rushers cross then they pass their guy to the next. I really don't know what would cause DaJo to think the OLBer was his guy. He did check to inside, no one came so he scans to outside and I guess he didn't see JPP . .. we'd have to ask Coach Bou, I guess, but it's perplexing

Yea, that's way I understood it. So I gotta wonder why our OL always seems so lost. And I gotta wonder if it's Wells or the other guys.

If it is Wells we are in trouble. He's supposed to be the brains of the outfit, a smaller, overachiever who makes ups for his lack of size and strength with smarts and quickness. If he's not smart, then we have problem. I think it's the other guys. Just like it was Oji and the other stopgaps we have played over past few years.
