This offense was handcuffed to hell and back by the line's ineptitude. 

You can find a dozen or so really crappy mistakes by TL this year that hurt the offense badly.  You can find 20 more from skill players and the communication issues among them. 

But you can look at 30 snaps in damn near every single game where three-fifths of that line totally dumped a hot steaming loaf on the football field. They sucked in both run and pass phases. 

Calling turnovers "extra possessions" is also the most disingenuous, spin-tastic horse [BLEEP] I've seen today. 

BTW the league average INT by team was 14 and the Jags D had 16. 
Fumbles recovered avg was 10 and Jags had 11. 
We ended up very average in both takeaway categories.

Sure, it dosen't help.


But at the same time, when we had ETN averaging 5 YPC for the majority of the season prior he still wasn't sniffing 30 tds, and for half of the season was awful.

NYC do me a favor sir. If our O line and run game are significantly improved this upcoming season, and Trevor still provides us with 20-25 tds/10-20 turnovers.. just promise me you wont blame anyone but the man causing the problem this time.. you can't scapegoat Doug or the WRs.. just the guy making the mistakes.

Can you do that?

When TL's mistakes are negatively impacting the offense more than the line or skill position errors - I'll come correct. 

The only games that came anywhere close to being true this season were after he had compiled 4 injuries in short order. (due mostly to the OL)

I want to see him be smarter with the football in 2024. He needs to take a step forward there. Having a pocket and 1/4 second longer to step into will help that a lot.
