offensive woes - easy targets = QB/OL, RB - harder to quantify drag from WR's

We all see the dropped passes, and most notice that we rarely see a highlight film-type grab by one of our wide outs. Less obvious is the mistakes a WR makes in route running. I was struck by the camera view from behind O'Korn on a handful of occassions where you could see what O'Korn was faced with - 4 receivers blanketed by MSU. I really appreciate Skene's breakdown of our OL play, he bring serious insight. Would be great to have a former WR or QB to dissect the play of wideouts. When I see O'Korn sacked or taking off because of pressure I immediately assume it is our OL + blocking TE and/or RB. In reality I presume a lot of blame is shared by our WR's not running good patterns, or just plain not good enough to create separation. Don't see that improving much 2017.
