If he didnt get hit behind the line of scrimmage so often... maybe he would get in? You need a big guy to follow in those short spots, and ALL of our blockers get blown backwards on 3rd and short when the defense knows the play... I don't feel like its fair to Forte to judge him on performance behind a line that ranks among the worst in every statistical category for the past 2 years.
