But maybe Jayden is just that much better than what we had last year he is covering a lot of it up (him and even the OLine as a whole).

I don't think we can underestimate the impact EB's scheme, combined with SH's propensity to hold onto the ball too long, had on the O-line. EB never adjusted, never wanted to run the ball, and defenses could just tee off on the QB who refused to throw the ball - play after play.
I'm not sure the line (Wylie included) was as bad as a lot of people concluded last year. Sure, they weren't great and individuals got beat sometimes, but they had absolutely no help from their OC or QB.
