I get they are both coming off injury. This team has to find a way to run more successfully than pass. The pass protection can't hold up. The line did show promise in the run game though.

This is going to be interesting to see down the road after what Pederson said about this when it was called into question. 

He flat out said:



After he made that statement he went onto add that it's under his belief and philosophy that you "Throw to score and you run to win". Meaning, he's going to keep slinging the rock downfield until he gets a comfortable lead to take the air out of the football down the stretch. Sounds good, in theory. 

However, when your QB is getting his bell rung and breaking down fundamentally? Something has to give there. I went back and looked at a few more plays. I have one more tiny little complaint about Lawrence. That strike he hit Kirk on in the 2nd half downfield? If he puts more air under that football? He should technically hit Kirk in stride and he's streaking into the endzone Vs. laying out for it and hitting the turf with it. 

This is why I have some hope for Lawrence overall. His accuracy will undoubtedly improve this year. As will his chemistry with the new additions around him on offense. He looks good from the pocket when not under any pressure. This is where I fully expect Doug Pederson to step his [BLEEP] game up as a football coach that won a Superbowl with two QB's and two different styles of play in one year. 

Adapt or die.
