Didn't get to watch the game. I did read he was pressured at least 22 times on 40 some odd pass attempts. Sacked 5 times. Looks like he was hit a decent amount as well.

For those who did catch the game. Did they have any designed rollouts, bootlegs or sprints for Lawrence to flush away from the interior of the line or did they ask him most of the time to stand back there and embrace it and work through it?

I think as a coaching staff they'll look at that game. See how much they can get away with interior wise, but, I would HOPE they have a back-up plan to get him moving and away from those issues inside there. For his sake. 

I think we can do that against this zone defense as well. Just stack from left or right with layered level routes designed to meet him on the that side of that designed roll out. Try to get the CB to cheat up expecting Lawrence to run with it. Catch them napping from time to time with some nice sideline catches.

I think this is a big opportunity for Engram to get open, find holes in the zones and really make them pay defensively. Should be a fun game. I just want to see some continued maturity and growth with the offense. We are what we are at this point with the line play. You can only work around it and take some risks here and there.

I don't recall designed rollouts being utilized.
Maybe one or two that I didn't key on, but was not an integral part of the game plan in general. 
Still relying on Trevor to make it happen on the vast majority of drop backs. 
With an added target in Ridley being added to the field - it sort of makes some sense to survey the route tree from the pocket more often. 

Also  - with the way teams have shut down sweeps, tosses, screens etc around the edge, I'm not all that convinced the rollouts are going to be much more effective than the drop backs in keeping Trevor clean. 
(the bills game was the first time we saw any consistent holes moving outside with those types of plays and three of them were misdirection/end arounds - the others largely ETN being good at making ppl miss) 
Would still like to see them try the rollout 3 or 4 times each week though. 

They've done it a few times this year targeting Engram and Kirk IIRC. Could probably do it more. 
Pederson does like to save up some stuff for certain opponents though. We def saw him install or bring back certain plays last year according to matchups. We saw some things disappear for two or three weeks at a time only to come back and be effective last season.
