There yah go. Just hoping the OL plays half way decent for Finley.
He needs to take control and be respected, this is key.

Damn rights lol

To make it worse they did this to someone who not only never called them out on their nonsense but who has been a big contributor to the community as well. Telling him only about three hours prior to the deadline? That is high level foolishness.
Also there is no magical QB ability to make a bad OL good - all that happens is the bad OL wears the good QB down. In Andy's case the poor blocking (coupled with bad play calling, no run game and inconsistent route running) has caused his internal clock to get out of sync. This happens to any QB put in this position long enough. Put him on a team with even average blocking and a stable game plan with even average ability to run and he will prosper.
You are right, but Andy was panicking before plays even broke down.
He was destroyed by all the bad Line play over the years. Need to give Finley a shot and see if he has some balls.
