Quote:It's not about having to protect Blake. He can sense pressure just fine and routinely evades tackles, plus he his overall stats while being contacted are rather impressive. The getting tougher up front is more about establishing the run, and that's not because Blake can't pass... it's just Blake shouldn't be leading the entire league in attempts. Coughlin's biggest gripe about last year's offense was our lack of balance.

 

I actually completely agree with you on the underlined. TC will make sure this team can run and control the LOS. Once that happens you can limit BB's attempts and the stress on his arm and decision making will naturally improve. Blake could actually be a monster just like Steve Mcnair was used when the titians would kill with Eddie George and then Mcnair would just move the chains with a back breaking 5-8 yard run here and there. Its not to say that the Jags cant be vertical every once in while but you have pick the right spots.
