I can comprehend it, Do you think my hope for the offseason is to find 4 brand new starters on the O line because they are good?
You just can't seem to seperate one from the other, Like I said the other day he's obviously hindered from succeeding by this terrible unit. It's still very easy to seperate what is squarely on him, and what's not. You can blame the O line on a fumble/int when the defender is under hsi nose or in the process of sacking him.. you cannot blame them for him running away and dropping the ball without contact or sailing a pass above the WRs head when he had time to throw.
might it be because they are not separate?
if nobody is open and pass rush is squeezing through the pores of our linemen, the choice is run for your life or turn turtle. Yes, Trevor has to be mindful of ball security, but if he had a brief moment more on those plays, someone might get open and afford us a pass on the alleged pass play.
they're all interrelated - proper situational play calls, receivers running correct routes, getting separation, line (and RB) blocking, QB awareness - if any one of those fails the play is left to improvisation.
Lamar could be the most fumble-fingered QB in the history of the league, but if he has 7+ seconds per pass play before pressure gets to him as was the case when we played, it sure ain't gonna result in a lot of turnovers. Not saying anyone should ever expect a 7-second pocket, but it shows how one factor influences the other.

But since the fanbase is so close to tar and feathers after 5 losses to squander the season late - everyone is jumping to conclusions seeking scapegoats.
Nah man, the people have spoken and they want the soap opera to be true, so that's what we're running with.
The Jags should really consider filming "back stage" interactions WWE style. People would lap it up. I want to see draft war room chairs fly and tables get flipped and angry stares coming from Doug and Trent at each other with heavy mouth breathing.
Doug and Baalke roided out of their minds....where do I sign up?
