It seems like TL was either pressured by multiple Commanders (heh.  Stupid name) on a play or none at all.  Some plays the line was rock solid and TL had all kinds of time.  Others it dripped from everywhere like a leaky shower.  It looked to me like they had rampant assignment breakdowns.  When it worked, it was ok.  When it didn’t then everything went to hell.

It will be interesting to see what the coaches do.  My view is they need to go up tempo short passing and frequent runs.
