Blake did some good things in the regular season as well. Even when under pressure.  Of course once he was banged up and had ended 200+ plays on his backside things got pretty squirrelly with his technique, but he did show the toughness to take hits and still release the ball.

He was given some time here, and his footwork is still shabby  --  but he does stay patient in the pocket and make a minuscule step into the throw for a big first down. 

 

 

I think if he can engrain some better fundamentals and get an uptick in performance from that line, he'll quiet most of his doubters this season.
