True, but Buck should have seen Jackson coming past the line unblocked and didn't even check him. Don't know why the blocking broke down there, but it definitely set the tone for the remainder of the game.

I went back and it looked to me like Harris turned left and took Kuper's guy, with Weigman and Harris engaged and Kuper left blocking nobody.

Uh, no. It was Buck who didn't put a body check on Jackson, which caused the sack. Harris was already engaged with a DE.

It looked to me like Ryan Harris was responsible for missing the block which caused Orton to get sacked on the 1st quarter opening drive. I know he's normally awesome, but hopefully nursing this lower extremity injury will give him more time to rewatch the tape and figure out what went wrong. Maybe he can coach the rest of the O-Line to shape up and pull together from the sidelines.

This is not good!!! Hopefully Tyler can come in and protect Orton and pave the way for our RB's.
