I'm also starting to think that Philbin is part of the problem.
I seemed to remember that Aaron Rodgers was running for his life quite a lot when Philbin was the OC at Green Bay.
So, I decided to check the sack #'s during that time, and holy shit, it was worse than I thought.
From 2008 to 2011, the time that Philbin and Rodgers were together as OC and QB, the Packers gave up 34, 51, 38 and 41 sacks.
Also, looking at Philbin's coaching history, his tenure with the Colts is actually his 1st time serving as a full time OL coach at the NFL level.
Looks to me like another bad Pags hire, who hasn't improved the OL at all, since he's been here.
