Probably team sort of figured out what they were doing offensively the first three games and started to adjust. Now it’s up to see if Trevor and Doug can adjust further.

I don't think this team is picking in the top five next year. I think at the minimum with Doug Pederson and Co. they're going to be hovering around that 6 win minimum mark every year while he's here, barring any significant and key injuries of course. 

It's week six. You're 2 - 3. It's a very delicate time of the year now where if you [BLEEP] around and lose another game or two you're going to have a tough time keeping the morale high and rallying the troops. 

I think Doug puts together a gameplan that sets Lawrence up to succeed. I don't think he's there yet as far as being consistently good from the pocket but he's been very, very good when using his legs and getting outside the pocket. They're going to need to do more of that this year and they're going to need to be very limited and picky and choosy when they call their deep shots. 

I feel like the deep shots really need to come off the play action action game though or roll outs where he's got three receivers running layered routes to one side of the field. It was working earlier on during the year. 

He has to take what the defense is giving him as well. He had Robinson in the check down wide open on 2nd and goal. He even looked at him, looked away and then shot a bullet over the middle and out of bounds. Again, Brett Favre-esque. Sunshine Brett Favre needs to find a good balance of Captain Checkdown from Garrard's days while also knowing when to take those shots.
