You receive the snap and as you are gripping the ball a rusher is coming free and headed towards you. So the task is while avoiding the oncoming rusher survey the field and make your reads throwing to the proper receiver. Halfway through this a second rusher comes free from the other side.  Tough duty.

I thought about what the hell was going on all game. Then it dawned on me. It appeared to be a very hungry proud team with something to prove on a 3 game losing streak to be playing a team on a 5 game winning streak that felt good about themselves. Hopefully, this performance will make our team a bit hungrier for the next 2 critical games.

This. Trevor is capable of elevating the rest of the guys from say average to good. If you have a turnstile ain't nobody gonna manage to elevate that lineman.

There were so many plays where the pressure/penetration was immediate.

Yeah. I said just before the game started. He wasn't going to have much time in that game. It had to be 1st read not there? 2nd read not there? Get rid of it. Because the odds of him having time to see his 3rd reads were slim to none. 

The problem? Like you said. At times yesterday he was lucky to have enough time to scratch his [BLEEP] before getting to his 1st read. They were certainly throwing different concepts and looks at him. 

I don't think it's a trust thing with his receivers. I genuinely feel Wilkes had our number yesterday on defense and there wasn't a damn thing we could do about it. 

That front three, four - seven came ready to [BLEEP] play yesterday and it showed. They also had our number offensively. Didn't matter what we did defensively. Everything went perfectly right for them and everything went perfectly wrong for us. That's all it comes down to.
