And SportingNew has the following: "And the issues have not stemmed from a rushed offense. Pressure has not been an issue for the Jaguars this season, with Lawrence having been pressured on only 27.4 percent of his dropbacks, per PFF, the sixth-lowest rate of any starter in the league. And the Texans never got home with pressure on Sunday, tallying no sacks and having just five quarterback hits.

Despite having time to throw, Lawrence was still inconsistent throughout Sunday's game. He completed 27 of 40 attempts for just 279 yards, seven yards per attempt."


[I take PFF with a grain of salt, but that's what the article says]

That comment from "SportingNew" (news?) doesnt capture the story.  The reason our pressure rate is so low is because we are getting ball out fast on a number of throws.  Last I looked Lawrence's release time was one of the fastest in the league.  Misleading stats due to the quick throws and horizontal passing game.  Part of that is because Doug seems to like the horizontal passing game but a lot of the playcalling semes to be driven by the fact that the line can't hold for very long.  That isn't a terrible completion % but the yards per attempt isnt good because they are throwing short.
