And yes, before someone says it, the O-Line has been so bad that Trevor doesn't trust that they can protect him.  I understand that too.  But it's still important that the coaches work with trevor on his pocket movement.  Clearly they haven't.

It's also important that when Trevor, from what we can all assume, has seen this recurring issue on his own game tape for the last 4 years should also be able to recognize that during film study.

He is what he is - and there were some people who followed Clemson closely warning others of these tendencies with TLaw coming out.

Can't argue too much against this.  I'm still a Trevor Stan.  I think he can be fixed.  But at this point, it's fair to say he's broken.

Regarding Trevor recognizing his own weaknesses.  I remember when I first started working my first job in the field of my study.  I was given an account to analyze.  I spent the whole day just staring at the issue, knowing that there was something wrong and that I had to correct it.  But for the life of me, I had no idea how to fix it.  

Thankfully, I had a competent supervisor.  So I took my work to him, I told him that I could see there was an issue with the account.  But I didn't know exactly how to correct the problem.  He took the time to walk me through the issue and show me how to account for it, correct it, and then make sure how to deal with the situation when they arise again in other situations that will come up with other accounts.  Then, over time I would bring him my work on other accounts with similar issues, and he'd oversee my work to ensure I was doing it properly.  Over time I was able to actually help others.  But it took time and diligence on not just my part, but my supervisors part to train me to do the work the best possible way.

That's how you develop a person.  It's also how you develop athletes.  I'm sure Trevor can look at the game tape and see the mistakes he's making.  But if no-one is working with him on how to correct those mistakes, it just continues to get worse.

Practice does not make perfect.  If you continue to practice the same things that are not working, you are only instilling those bad habits.  I feel like that's what's happening here.  Everyone knows there's a problem, nobody knows (or maybe they just don't care) on how to correct the issue to ensure better results moving forward.
